At 7′6″, Yao Ming is one of the tallest Olympians, one of the most revered basketball players across the world, and we’re willing to bet, were there an Olympic competition for aerial photography, he’d score heads above the rest.
Puns aside, getting a camera up into the air is no small (or short) feat. We’re not all tall like Yao Ming, and we don’t always have access to a kite or a plane… Plus, tripods and professional monopods are expensive and weigh about a gajillion pounds.
So, we made our own Photojojo Sky-Cam, just for you and just in time for your own photography Olympics.
Transform your group shots, crowd shots, your super-secret, Bond-ian spy shots into “how’d-you-do-that,” Andreas Gursky-like works of high art.
The Photojojo DIY Sky-Cam
Why It’s Cool
It’s taller than Yao Ming! Perfect for shaking up your group shots, taking photos of yourself without asking a stranger, and for spying on your neighbors (or the birds’ nest), the sky-cam costs less than a concert ticket and allows you to take pictures of the stage and crowd without climbing a fence or your friend’s shoulders. It’s relatively inconspicuous (all the cool kids carry poles around town), inexpensive, and it’ll get your camera up into the canopy in no time.
