OT: Cool Toy - Shadowbox update

tinyE · Since 21 Jan 2006 2004 Posts not really an XTreme Poster

I don't know if any of you have heard of it
but the shadowbox is a pretty cool
little toy...

I don't know a lot about it yet,
but I got a chance to ride (behind a boat)
with one last week, and it tracks you
in three axis.

I will have one soon (supposed to arrive today)
and would love to see some output from a few of
you rippers (I'm just a mower) on a kite.

How high did you just go on that boost?
How many G's on that loop?
Did you really spin 1080?

Here's a sample screen shot of the
software that runs on your computer.

so if you want to try it out, just catch me
and I'll have you record some real kiting.

hey that's pretty cool.

where can we find out more info on these?

I googled shadowbox and didn't come up with anything relating to this.

Interesting gizmo, but pricey!

Yeah that is a little spendy!

I'll probably be buying an HD cam before I buy one of those.

I'd definitely like to try it though. it looks like fun. definitely for the gadget geeks Smile

some people might even get to find out how much force it took to blow a knee Wink

expense is all relative!

I wouldn't mind testing it out sometime. Seems interesting. Could be fun to try out in the waves too so when you claim you got inverted off the lip you can actually see it.
