Exactly. Simple experiment: use play/pause button in the center of the screen as rough reference for the center of screen. Whenever horizon crosses it, pause video and observe if the line is straight or curved. No big deal, just use of common sense.

Well let's think... If it's launched at night, would you be able to see the sun, the differentiation in the atmospheres , and the clouds, along with the continents and water? No.... That's why it's launched in the day. If it was at night, you'd be basically wasting a balloon and helium, you'd get nothing but blackness.

This looks to be simply wide angle, not fisheye. It produces distortion but not quite as bad as fisheye. Either way, all you have to do is catch a frame where the horizon runs directly through the centerpoint of the frame. Any curvature seen then is actual curvature. Very simple. Oh, and there is definitely curvature.

I mean, the only curving I ever see in these videos is created by the lense honestly if you watch as the lense rotates twists and turns the horizon seems to bend slightly when the lense twists into position but then when it twists back the horizon no longer bends and straitens out as if the Bend was created by the fish eye shape of lense.

Forgot one thing. Fisheye distortion makes an object appear convex above the centerpoint, and concave below it. If a straight line is at the centerpoint, it will remain straight.

too many things to ask you: 1) what was the size of baloon and what gas did you use ( hellium or Hydrogen) 2) was the communication between the baloon and the app on your cellphone stable . How were they communicating ( i am assuming with cellphone signals) 3) did you use portable charger onbord to charge your GoPro 4) how did you recover your GoPro if it landed far far away from you. Were you able to tell where it landed exactly using your GPS tracker 5) last question but very important: Do you need to get permission from the authorities before you do this. The baloon can interfere with airplanes pathes. Thank you in advance.

[@sivrot]

yaya2006 i used a 600g balloon with helium. we only had communication with the balloon when it had cell coverage (under 3000 meters with the gps tracker). we logged however the intire flight with a cellphone, thats why we got the altitude and position. yes we used a portable charger, so it had 100% battery even when we found it. we got excact locations where the balloon was anytime when it was under 3000 meters. we called the number to the sim inside the gps tracker, and got coordinates with a link to google maps as a response. i think you need permission ig you're gonna do it "by the book". but where i live its not much airplane traffic overhead. and even though the chance of it hitting was miniscule, we kept an eye on the app "flightradar 24 pro". we did this to make sure we wouldnt launch if there for some reason was more traffic than usual overhead. sorry for not responding before now! didnt see your comment until today. :)

You do realize that they were mocking true believers of a geocentric Earth don't you? Heliocentrism is completely of Satan. He always has a counterfeit to anything pertaining to God. The Bible says the Earth does not move ... ever.

So does this have a fish eye lens/plugin since the horizon bends?

[@InstantLightning]

Booty GAwD not really. The middle of a fisheye lens is always straight, and right before the balloon pops, the horizon is in the middle.

[@davidsorensen3775]

Even at this altitude you're still only seeing around 1.5% of one hemisphere.

[@khanohare]

See the curve? Even when the camera moves a certain way you can also see it curve the opposite way. This is bacause they are using a go pro with a fish eye lense.

It is curved, pause the video once the horizon is perfectly centered to avoid fish eye distorsion

[@angelgaviria6697]

You wouldn't even know how it works 🤪 because straight lines stay straight when they are at the center point of the lense, so the horizon looks curved at that point

Just wander how much you could improve this by wrapping balloon with strong tape to prevent from bursting. Any suggestions welcome

[@toontownlegomaster]

How come it didn't burst into flames as it was crashing down to Earth>?

[@sivrot]

because it has to go much much faster if that would ever happen

[@visibleconfusion9894]

and it didnt go to space

[@RainerSinkwitz]

It didn't go into fast orbit

[@tardigrades3184]

The horizon is curved. At 5:44, the horizon is in the center of the frame, which is where there is minimal distortion from the lens, and it is curved. I'm not a flat Earther, but on a flat Earth, the horizon would also look curved. The fact that many flat Earthers think that the horizon should look flat on a flat Earth just shows how many of them don't even know what they are talking about.

[@oliver1834]

[@doddermodd]

Use your eyes. The video clearly uses a fish eye lens. Fisheye distortion makes an object appear convex above the centerpoint, and concave below it. If a straight line is at the centerpoint, it will remain straight. If the top of a curved line is at the centerpoint, it remains curved. The horizon remains convex at the centerpoint. It's still a sphere.

[@rtanidean4931]

Sincere question: If you were able to launch then retrieve it 3+ hrs later in close approximate to where it rose from, how is it not approx 3,000 mi away if the earth is rotating at approx 1,000 mi pr hr? I do NOT care about earth shape so plz don’t focus on that. I’m just trying to understand how it came back in close approximation. 6-25-21. Thx. D
