Juggling looks way harder when you see it from a juggler’s POV

Juggling looks way harder when you see it from a juggler's POV

Juggling might be the most fun useless skill to have. People who can’t juggle see it as some impossible trick while those who have mastered the skill can see through the flying orb planets as some easy math problem. Just check out the view from a juggler’s perspective. For me, a non-juggler, it looks like the ball is going to smack me in the face. For the guy in the video? It ain’t no thang.

Phantom Drone Carries GoPro into Active Volcano and Survives

One thing I would not have thought of doing with a camera-packing drone is send it into the caldera of an active volcano. I would expect the hot gas and flying molten lava to destroy the drone in short order. I would be wrong, at least in this instance. Recently, Shaun O’Callaghan’s DJI Phantom quadcopter drone carried a GoPro into an active volcano on Tanna Island in Vanuatu.

You can see in the video that lava and gas are flying everywhere and going all around the camera and drone. I can’t believe the thing survived, but Shaun says the drone says no harm came to it or the camera during filming.
