Hang on to your cameras!

A friend of mine just sent me this link, and it makes me want to double check the insurance policy for my cameras.

Guess he should have bought a Gordy strap!

Really hope that was just an off-the-shelf model...

Let's hope they don't still use Hasselblads. 😀

Its hilarious how calm they all are.

I suppose it's one of the least of their worries -- although I hope they either retrieved it or pushed it off to a safe distance. Seems massive enough that it could do damage if it smacked either the station or the shuttle.

If he had been using a Domke gripper strap he would not have lost the camera..

Aw heck, it was probably only a DSLR and would be obsolete in six months anyway! 😉

Aw shucks, there goes another 50 grand of our tax money floating around in space. I'm sure NASA will just put a request in for a $5000 camera strap for the next trip.

Absolutely! 😀

Wow! Certainly not something you see every day. As others mentioned, they are really calm, but I suppose there are other, more important things to attend to. Thanks for sharing the link!

Another Nikon lost in space🙂
Some 22nd century collector will find it in space and sell it for couple of billions😉

Say, I wonder what the best bag would be for a shuttle trip?
