Earlier this month a Swiss freeskier call Nicolas Vuignier posted anamazing YouTube picture featuring bullet - time footageof a trial down a Charles Percy Snow - cover mountain . More impressive than the video , though , is the dewy-eyed semi Vuignier design and built to enamour that footage with just a single iPhone .
The equipment , which Vuignier call theCentriphone , direct him about two class to design , image , work up , and perfect . In essence , it ’s a simple sled that fall in the iPhone a Seth of flank to keep it static in flight as it ’s soaring through the atmosphere around whoever is swing it over their head .
It appear unsubdivided enough , but as Vuignier elaborate in this ‘ reach of ’ video , it was the subtlest of design tweaks and improvement , observe through elaborate testing , that led to the rig ’s final design , and the amazing smoke - meter footage that only requires a single operator .
Want to prove it for yourself ? Not only has Vuignier puttwo versions of the Centriphone up for pre - order on his land site , one for the iPhone 6/6s , one for GoPro camera , both available for about $ 39 . He ’s also create anopen generator variation of the Centriphoneyou can build yourself if you have access to a 3D printer .
Just keep in mind , you are accepting some level of risk when using your $ 700r smartphone as a photographic camera rig that ’s mop up around your pass . The Centriphone ’s aim promises to keep it held securely in position inside the rig , but should the handle that the four cable are tethered to slide out of your bridge player while you ’re careening down the side of a mountain , the survival of your equipment is in God ’s deal .
