A tumbling inflatable wireless HD video ball skating across hands and heads…
Always on the lookout for ways to enhance and enliven live music, we set out to give the fans something totally unique on the LED video wall: a view of themselves from only inches away, peeking out of a huge inflatable ball rolling across their heads.
After several iterations and many broken transmitters and battery packs, we finally landed on a design the combined durability, transmission distance, affordability, and size.
RAC were gracious enough to offer their set as the ballcam’s debut.
Special shout-out to our colleague James Ball for helping make the ball cam such a success, may he rest in peace.
