Over the years we have featured a number of throwable cameras which have been developed to capture extraordinary and very unique lines of sight not available whilst using a hand-held camera.
Now US-based inventor Steve Hollinger has been granted a second US patent for his Squito throwable ball camera which has been under development for some time. Check out the video after the jump to learn more about the very unique Squinto throwable ball camera.
