The last "through the tree" shot is honestly so cool. There's no other way it could be pulled so well 😄

For movies: a sick shot of an arrow frying through a narrow hole. Th part of the arrow that is not captured by the camera can be edited in later. The last shot was so amazing (with the sound effects, of course, it's just much better) it looked like something out of a movie. You should use this in a robot hood movie or something

My first thought seeing this after seeing wren in "Titan mode" I could see this in a scene where an archer on a wall was shooting an arrow or bolt at a colossal titan and the titan catches it and throws it right back and and through the archer and then embedding in a wall behind him. Having most of that caught in camera would be awesome and being able to juice it up with a cg shot of the bolt going through the archer would be pretty sweet

I like the idea of being able to see it go through objects or obstacles from the "inside" instead of a change of camera position. It would be cool to see an arrow blow through armor and stick in a target behind it

Maybe like Yondu's arrow (from Guardians of the Galaxy) where he is whistling and passing though the bodies or objects in a fight scene.

it would be awesome if u guys used the shots from this into a video. for example a story about a person who managed to get the super jump abilities of a grasshopper but at the same time that person shrunk.

Loved the journey of this whole thing, it made the destination of the build even better.

So, it went in the air for 6 seconds : initial velocity is approx. 30 meters per second....max range = 90 meters approx (assuming g = 10) 19:43 to 19:49 used v = u + at range = u^2 sin (2 theta)/g...and for max range, sin 2 theta = 1 ie. theta = 45 deg or pi/4

Well I'd prefer it if the bow was in a better mood.

The last shot with the tree felt like adventure time opening scene

This might be my favorite series. Figuring out how to use this practically will be a big challenge. I'm watchin'!

A cool idea that came up for an interesting use of this is the bolt POV as it flies all over a battlefield till it finally hits the target. Being a 360° camera you can get both the shooter, the battlefield from above, and the target getting struck all in a single continuous shot.

My personal assumption was just that you'd need a crossbow with less power if it keeps snapping the bolts but I'm happy to see that there is an option for just brute forcing the high power one.

I would of gone the other way gotten a more powerful crossbow and stuck some lead at the back off the bolt before puting in the all thread

That tree shot was the coolest shot I've ever seen.

- Screws a nut through 1 foot of thread - Cuts down thread anyway 10 / 10

I am sure it has been said before...but this guy's positive energy is infectious.

That last shot was SICK !!!!!!! Incredible, so creative and fun !

So awesome.. satisfying af too !🤯 😎

oh, the transition to the sponsored segment was smooooth. I didn't even realize until it was almost over!

wren is the guy thats smart and talented enough to design camera shell to shoot it out of the crossbow, and hes the guy to eat basically everything

The first idea I had was that you could simulate a POV perspective of a bomb being dropped or a mortar being shot. Top tier content as always, fellas.

Just the danger of shooting this past someone and having a 3 times slow mo fly by gives me chills. Can you imagine doing that with like a fight scene with the camera flying between two characters standing 15 feet apart?😮😮

That last shot was nice

This whole video was probably one of the best possible ads for this camera. You have my attention

I think for a way to make this into a production shot, would be to have a medieval crossbowman sieging a castle, and these are all shots of him taking out the defenders on the castle wall while running through a forest dodging archers/arrows/catapults from the castle.

I’m imagining a medieval/fantasy (maybe lotr themed?) battle scene where the arrow 360 cam goes across the battlefield and we can focus on the intense action around it! If it’s safe enough tho. Hope you guys try this!

Wren calling a bolt a screw and two nuts some bolts had me

[ IDEA ]: Somehow letting the arrow fly on a long, thin string. With that, you might get a controlled camera-path down the road. A big foam pillow at the end of that string can also save both camera and arrow from being damaged.

Wrens videos are always awesome.

Wren's goated

Instantly clicked when I saw another arrow-camera video. I love Wren and his engineering ways Edit: I also come from a hunting background and am well versed with crossbows and I was nervous. A lot could go wrong here lmao

You should use it as a contestant's POV shot on a fictional show called "Can You Yeet It?"

I feel like this would be amazing reference for arrow shots/anything similar for VFX artists working on movies. Being able to shoot an arrow and get perfect references for a battlefield or other practical sets would probably be very helpful.
