Why would you need to? What would strip the momentum enough for it to constantly need to spin after it’s built up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nothing. It just wouldn't reach the rotation rate in the first place. (and the camera equipment would be unusable due to the vibrations of the gyros long before it reaches theoretical maximum, as already stated in the video)

How do you know it can’t? What the limitation?

Stop the gyros, take the picture activate again if needed to keep momentum.

There’s ways, you’re just not thinking creatively enough and you also aren’t providing actual explanations for why.
