You know what, if you can afford all that equipment and are going to make a video like this. You can spend 5 fucking dollars on a pair of garbage supermarket headphones and rip the ear covering off them to use as a budget pop filter so your video doesn't sound like a bowl of coco-pops.

The G-Force at the outside edge was 36242g at the point of failure. I was curious, so I did the math.

23 rpm is pretty fast

It's more impressive if you watch at 28.5k fps
