Amazing! You have inspired me to build my own DIY space explorer. Thank you for posting an easy-to-follow tutorial. I’m thinking of putting two camera’s in mine, one facing out and possibly one more pointing straight down–we’ll see how that works out.

Hi. Just saw your story on Brian Williams newscast. As an aamateur photographer I plan to get involved. I still have a helium tank from years ago. The “Guide” photos don’t appear in Windows Vista. Just wanted to let you know. Keep up the good work. I’ll be making a donation to help.

Hi there,
Congrats, great project! One remark: It would be much easier to read your guide in HTML or even text, than in Google docs. If I want to read the text parts, I need to use the zoom – but it is impossible to see the pictures in their original size.
Regards,
Fred

I think the payload limit already is restricting enough without having additional weights for any steadicam set-up. I love the idea but I think that with all the anti-blur/shake modules being applied to SLR Cameras for example would serve much better.

Pictures will be more stable (less shaky) if you use a steadicam like approach, that is, camera is balanced by a weight. The weight can be the cell phone, battery pack, handwarmer.
