Swiss freeskier Nicolas Vuignier blew our minds with his incredible slinging iPhone contraption that creates killer bullet-time videos. Now he’s unleashing his creation called the Centriphone to the public and it’s surprisingly simple and super cheap to make.
Vuignier detailed the making of the Centriphone in a new video that runs through the seven different prototypes he tested for weeks before finally coming up with the perfect device that flies around its wielder while capturing jaw-dropping 360 degree video.
The best part of the Centriphone is Vuignier made it an open source project so now anyone can 3D print it at home. Even if you don’t own a 3D printer you can still buy one for just $39.
Here’s how to make your own:

Step 1: Tie some strings around your iPhone.
Step 2: Set it to take video.
Step 3: Start swinging it around you.
Step 4: Jump off a mountain.
Step 5 (should be step 1): Notify your next of kin where they can find you (and your iPhone) and that you recorded your last moments on it.
Step 5 should read:
Use Find My iPhone so that family/friends can find you.
Nice!
