A photographer strapped a Canon Rebel XT to his helmet while skydiving , but rather of capturing some not bad airborne shots , it fell off his helmet and plump 3,000 feet to the earth . improbably , it survived .
According to a protagonist of the lensman :
astonishingly , the Rebel survived the fall and my ally is still using it to this very day . It has a fissure in the plastic dead body and the kit lens system is a little jerky when zooming , but functional . I ’d like to know if there is a similar story or something snug to this but I doubt . It might be a world record indeed ( for the tallness of a camera drop which endure ) .
exposure show that the camera is remarkably entire — the viewfinder is still functional , both the camera torso and genus Lens are pretty much fine . Not that we recommend you heave your DSLR out of a low - flying plane , but it ’s nice to know that if you do , there ’s a chance it ’ll be just fine . [ FredMirandaviaCanon RumorsviaCrunchgear ]
