It doesn't work
$100 in parts, 5 hours worth of building, 30 steps, and it just doesn't work? Kipkay, go back to YOUR projects. They were useful, cheaper, less time, and better designed. Love your stuff but MAKE is bringing down the project quality, cost and usefulness. I'll actually USE video spyglasses made for $10 in spare parts. I won't use or need a soda bottle rocket made for even $25.

  Thats Exactly What I Think. I Dont Mind The Prices, I Have The Dough, Lol. But, The Projects Are Getting Lamer And Lamer And Lamer.

Wow! A lot of people just watch and don't comment. But I agree with the above guy. I think this would only be useful as an aid for a rich kid in a high school physics class's project. Your other things were much more practical and more creative.

I love this video
very very detail, even though you didnt get the parachute out, boy I think it was a good video. Did you do a storyboard before shooting this video? haha 5 star from me. You deserve whatever you have earned kipkay. good luck!

Badly Made Movie
The content was good. But whoever filmed it was way too shaky. The video itself was not up to "kipkay" standards.
