Killer! Donation sent, you guys rock!
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.

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.
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

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.
im curious what were your details for the parachute? i read that you tried variable sizes. was it homemade? material? what was your deployment mechanism?
this is an awesome experiment!
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.

REgards,
I join the chorus of people impressed and inspired by you guys. So much so, that we just started the Temecula Space Program here in California. I look forward to joining you up there soon
Hello,
Congratualtions on your project. Our Physics C class was inspired by this project and we need help on tracking the weather balloon. We are using the i-phone for tracking, but so far instamapper and our other tracking resources are not working. Please help us in finding another way to track our balloon. Much is appreciated and obliged.
Thank You,
Physcis C Class
I’m planning to launch my own cooler in Colorado soon. I wondering if cell phone coverage is an issue?
I take it the cell phone told you how high the balloon was? Does the Spot GPS note the altitude?
Great project!
Hello, I’ve been wanting to make one of these forever, but no matter where I go, I can never find any descriptions on the parachute, which is interestingly the part that gives me a headache. Did you make it yourself, or did you buy it? If you made it, how? If you bought it, where? Is it something I would be able to buy in the same place as I can buy a weather balloon?
Thank you
