Currently Playing: Homemade lightspeed camera (mk. 2) #physics #slowmotion #laser

This is my homebuilt "lightspeed" camera, UPGRADED! It can film light moving, but the light looks pretty strange. Can you figure out why? For full build details on the camera, and an answer to the apparent paradox, check out the main video!
