A GOPRO ATTACHED TO A ROCKET RECORDS INCREDIBLE FOOTAGE
Take a look at the most incredible footage from a GoPro attached to a space rocket.
When the action camera brand, GoPro, launched its first cameras in 2004, it opened up a whole new world of camera setup possibilities at a fraction of the cost compared to more traditional methods.
Fast forward a couple of years, and GoPro technology now offers a wide range and variety of attachments and accessories, like underwater housings and suction cups, to allow filmmakers to get very unique shots. Furthermore, GoPros today are capable of shooting at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 or 4K, at a frame rate of 60 fps, or 240 fps when shooting 1080p or Full HD. They will even deliver 100 Mbps bitrate for the first time ever with the GoPro Hero 8.
GoPro's have been attached to planes, rollercoasters, racecars and now even to space rockets that reach orbit!
Take a look at the incredible footage of this unmanned space rocket that launches and cuts through the Earth's atmosphere in a matter of seconds, and watch from multiple camera angles thanks to GoPro cameras. See how the rocket hovers in orbit around the Earth and then comes floating back down with a parachute.
