I'd think that would defeat the purpose of the "...and catch it!" step.

- Kliment 13y agoThere is a camera design that uses exactly this method, unfortunately patented: http://www.slashgear.com/squinto-throwable-ball-camera-granted-patent-with-prototype-in-the-works-09289505/ http://www.slashgear.com/squinto-throwable-ball-camera-grant... Prior art, unfortunately also attempting a patent is at: http://jonaspfeil.de/ballcamera http://jonaspfeil.de/ballcamera
