Out of left field: the Frisbee camera

frisbeecam_w.jpg

Drifting in from the "What the hell?" department comes the Frisbee camera. Yes, in case there aren't any pretty young things around to impress with your acrobatic Frisbee tossing, now you can record all your amazing jumps and throws for playback on your cell phone, which is way manlier. And if you're thinking the footage from a spinning Frisbee would most likely give you vertigo, designer Adam Sutcliffe is one step ahead of you: a fin on top of the disc attaches to a rod that pokes through the center axis, which in turn attaches to the camera. The upshot is the cam stays totally stable even if you give the Frisbee the ol' zig-zag chuck. Excited at the prospect of saving your Ultimate exploits at broadcast quality? Don't call the Ocho just yet — the design's just a concept right now. If you get in touch with Sutcliffe, he may be able to build you one, but in the time it would take to make, package, and ship, you'll probably sober up anyway.

This is reminiscent of SpyCam from Perfect Dark... An interesting--if not creepy for the sheer voyeur aspect--idea, but I doubt this will make it to the market.
