Watch This Crazy Unique Cockpit Video Filmed Inside an F-16 With A 360-degree Camera With 4K Spherical Stabilization

F-16 Viper Demo Team display at EAA AirVenture as you’ve never seen it before.

The action camera captured a stabilized video regardless of camera movement along with accelerometer data to show the g-load sustained by the pilot while flying the display routine.

There is little more to add than these new action cameras will probably bring in-flight filming to a complete new level.

Enjoy.
