New kind of Birdie

Postby sidd finch » Thu Apr 14, 2016 4:37 pm

This is a pretty clever idea. Simple and easy to use. Just need to work up that arm strength first. lol

Birdie is designed to be hand-tossed into the air, allowing GoPro cameras to take continuous photos or video safely on the way down. The accessory is designed to secure a GoPro Hero 3 or 4 face-down into the base (the cameras must be housed in their respective, protective case), with cutouts allowing lenses an unobstructed view. Users then grab Birdie by the arms and toss the whole unit into the air. The weight of the GoPro helps to provide aim and direction, and different shooting angles can be accomplished by varying the types of throw.

Exactly what I was thinking. But you would need to make sure you caught it every time. Not sure how many hard landings it could take.
