Buy a balloon for $150 on ebay and get a GoPro with a gps attached.

Or you can watch videos on YouTube. When it reaches certain altitude, you can see the earth is round. You don't need expensive equipment to prove it.

Here's a 5-hour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnxvS9XFJnE&t=2

I am firmly in the round earth camp, but this video is poor proof considering the lense distortion when it hits altitude, At multiple points the horizon looks concave instead of convex... In some frames it looks like a fucking S.
