Description

The new Space Cam with its significantly larger image sensor delivers perfect and reliable footage from the stratosphere. Razor-sharp video recordings in 4K at 60 frames per second provide amazing shots from heights of up to 40,000 meters, allowing for high-resolution videos of the blackness of space and the blue of our planet to be captured and compiled into spectacular footage. When shooting at 60 frames per second, potential shake during flight can be significantly reduced by the image stabilizer, resulting in smoother footage. The extreme conditions of the stratosphere push action cams to their limits: Compared to well-known manufacturers, the Space Cam is an extremely robust and reliable “Space Cam” at a fair price, extensively tested by Stratoflights in numerous test flights in the inhospitable environment of the stratosphere. Due to the extreme temperatures, the internal battery, like any other action cam, does not last long enough to capture the entire stratospheric mission: To provide enough battery power at temperatures of up to -65°C to film even the probe’s landing, an additional Batterypack capable of withstanding these conditions is definitely required. Furthermore, the screen of the action cam is very useful for checking the field of view after installation in the stratospheric probe to capture optimal shots from space. By using multiple cameras, perspectives such as the bursting of the balloon, a view of the horizon, or a direct view downwards can also be captured. To be protected from sliding within the Polystyrene Probe at wind speeds of up to 200 km/h, the Space Cam can be easily installed and securely fixed in the custom-fit protective case with just a few steps, ensuring protection against overheating through the integrated air channels and dissipating the heat into the interior of the Polystyrene Probe.
