Aerial video

I've written several times about wishing to get some pictures from the air above Yamakoshi, lastly after I visited the Shirone Kite Festival - http://www.niigata-nishikigoi.com/node/812. Today I came across this video taken using the little camera mentioned in the link above. They fixed 2 of them to a weather balloon sent 80,000ft into the air, twice the height of the typical crising altitude of a Jumbo Jet, and they survived to tell the tale. Lookout for one flying over Yamakoshi some time soon.
