PI_CE3 Flight

On Sunday the 27th of September flight PI_CE3 took place and managed over 36'000m, 118'000 feet in altitude.  The flight went very well with pretty much going to plan(except the tree landing).

The Sony RX100 functioned well except just before the balloon burst it appears the servo stopped working. Maybe because of the cold etc but you can hear it stop on the go pro video. It does start backup on the download journey but the camera will have auto powered off at this point.









It would look like i have sorted the issue with the GoPro Hero 4 Black shutting down due to heat as it ran perfect for the length of the flight. The full video can be found here
