I hope it is not too soon to feature another video of a camera sent to space with a weather balloon but the footage taken from the Pacific Star II is really amazing! This was all done with two cheap Canon point and shoot cameras off ebay, a weather balloon, and a simple Styrofoam enclosure. It still blows my mind that such a simple setup can produce such beautiful shots. Click the post to see the original video and how much work it takes into relocating one of these balloons.

How did you know where the package landed and how did you trigger the parachute?
Can also be kind and put a video about how to programme your camera to fire every 3 mintues.
