- sdenton4 6mo agoOr maybe press the timer and let it float...
- plaguuuuuu 6mo agoor sticky-tape it to the window. d5 has an actual shutter yeah? not mirrorless? I think the shutter moving will spin the camera.
- hackerdood 6mo agoI haven’t looked at the manual but it likely has the ability to flip and keep the mirror up for direct capture on the sensor without the mirror flipping up and down between exposures.
- cloudfudge 6mo agoI would love to see the effect of the mirror's effect on the motion of the camera in a weightless environment. I bet it's enough to measurably affect the picture, especially on a long exposure. Net torque of it opening and then closing should be near (but probably not exactly) zero, but while it's open the camera should spin a tiny amount.
- embedding-shape 6mo agoBad idea, shutter speed was 1/4 apparently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47632457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47632457), even the small rotational inertia everything in zero gravity gets from a human "dropping" it would probably be enough to be annoying, you'd get a better shot holding it.
