He always makes me laugh, but that was classic Kai foolishness. My cheeks hurt from laughing. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Remote trigger, burst mode, duct taped with bubble wrap and inside an inflatable jump house with half a dozen friends as standby catchers... then I might try this - with YOUR camera! :rofl:

Another amusing adventure... :thumbsup:

I like Kai, but I still think this is a dumb idea.

BTW that typhoon became a Signal 10 and was one of the most powerful for 13 years. Lots of trees were blown down.

I was sleeping at the time and apart from the occasional blast of wind waking me up (the sound) I didn't notice it till I saw the ground covered in leaves/branches in the morning (that's after they tidied up a little). A tree blew down just outside my building too.

Oh yeh he mentions it in the video... I didn't realise till I actually saw that part. You can see all the damage in the video.

Oh and incidentally I once saw Alamby. Opened a door for her. :o She's pretty short.

for the record, I'd never do this.

Why does it flip/spin it so much? He should just throw it up more gently (spin wise).

Honestly I don't believe Mr Klutz (Kai) threw a camera in the air. :blink:
