Somehow I'm sensing several of you thinking about the possibilities of using it at the fence to a naturalist (nudist) colony.

You should be ashamed of yourselves...

OK...How about launching it via an air cannon (similar to the "Punkin chunkin" done around October here in the USA)?

Put one on a model rocket (with strong enough motor). Would work way better than the Cam-e rock (spelling).

Attach one to a home made hot air balloon (made with a plastic cleaner bag, a couple drinking straws, birthday candles and
a little bit of tape.) Oh...yeah...they really do work and quite well. I had a rather enjoyable childhood and still am!! ;)

 ;D the mental image of the cannon amused me Art.

I had no notion of the nudist camps, I think you are leading us astray  ;)

Welcome Heidiau.

I wonder if it would be possible to shrink those Lytro light field cameras down small enough to put a bunch of them in this panorama ball.
