About this Video

As the Red Bull Stratos team prepares for the jump from space, Red Bull Illume takes a look at the cutting-edge camera systems that will be used to record this record-breaking mission. With Felix Baumgartner jumping from an altitude of 120,000 feet, the cameras must be every bit as advanced as the other aspects of the mission in order to survive the hostile environment. It's all a far cry from when Joe Kittinger used hot water bottles taped to film cameras on his record-breaking jump in 1960.
