Video Shot From Fighter Jets Will Melt Your Face

by Andrew Liszewski


To help Saab Defence and Security capture some spectacular footage of its Gripen fighter jet, a Swedish-based company called Blue Sky built a custom gyro-stabilized camera system that can ride along at speeds of over 345 miles per hour.

When paired with a 6K Red Dragon digital cinema camera and a $40,000 Canon camera lens, the resulting footage provides a never-before-seen opportunity to ride along in a fighter like you were almost sitting in the cockpit.

SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

They are. IRIS-T is what the Germans came up with after they'd got their first good look at an R-73 (AA-11 Archer) and scared themselves silly...
