Your Space Balloon will reach an altitude of 20 miles and maybe fly 80 miles in air line.
Obviously it is not easy to find your camera at random but there is a nice tool to help you.
This GPS Tracker is able to locate a position with a precision of 5m. I want to show you how it works.
You call the Tracker with your mobile phone.
There is a Sim-Card in the tracker. So dial the number and call the Tracker. He sends a request to a sattelite which tells him the exact position and transfers the data to your mobile phone.
Inside the tracker there is a Sim-Card. Make sure to have enough balance.
When you add the battery the tracker starts to locate himself immediately and you can make a first check.
It rang one time which is right.
Now we got the coordinates.
Of course you can locate everything and everybody with this tracker. And if you want to know what your girlfriend is doing, you can even stalk her :P
Never mind!
Lets locate our capsule and the camera.
This is the closest point we can get to. The street ends here and we have to walk the last mile. Maybe it is on the field or in the forest.
Google tells me that the coordinates seem to be on that wide field. Lets search for it.
Oh look at this! The red parachute over there. Fortunately we passed the tree.
Wow!
It is a little damaged by the landing but in general it looks good.
Now we are very curious about the quality of the footage.
An important tip: Make sure to take a laptop with you so that you can check the videomaterial on location. Otherwise it will be a looooong way home.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. If you have further questions feel free to write a comment. We will answer them asap.
