- She's like doing yoga while eating chips.
We're gonna test this thing out, Lensball.
Apparently, it's gonna look like some sort of snow globe.
So, were gonna try to put Mika into a snow globe.
Share some images of what people have done
with this globe. - That's pretty cool.
- Hey, that kinda' looks like here.
- Yeah.
- We're not being original at all by doing this
on a freeway overpass.
- Damn it.
- That's what we're trying to achieve here,
some really awesome snow globe photos slash video.
This is the ball.
This is trippy.
It's weird.
Looking at this is making me dizzy.
- It's so crazy, and it's so clear.
- Is this what those crystal balls
that psychic use look like?
If I bring it close to your face, your face gets really big.
- Well, duh.
- Look at my face.
I look so cool right now.
That's what Mika looks like without moving in a snow globe.
That is weird and trippy.
(soothing music)
Oh shoot, that hurt my hand.
When you hold this thing at a certain angle,
look at my hand real quick.
Oh, see that. - Oh (beep drowned out voice).
- Burnt the crap out of my hand.
I literally thought I got stung by a bee just now.
We are driving through some random Mexican city,
looking for some cool spot.
Look donkey, wild donkey.
We're just kinda driving around,
looking for a cool spot to get shot.
My hair is kinda like.
But that's okay.
(car skids loudly)
Don't do that at home.
What'd you find?
- Remains.
Look, it's got sharp teeth.
You think that's little coyote or something?
- Maybe.
Pretty good looking cactus right there.
Time for a Lensball shot.
There he is one with the cactus.
It keeps burning my hand.
Don't leave these unattended.
If you leave these, these can probably start a fire.
They have a sign on the box, on one of the papers that says
be careful, but this needs to be something that's
on the front, as soon as you open the box a
bunch of confetti flies out with a red sign that says
this will burn you.
- [Mika] Danger.
- Now, just to give you guys an idea of exactly how hot this
thing gets, this is what happens if you put it
up against a plastic pen.
It comes in a black bag, so I suggest you always keep it
in that black bag.
Never leave it somewhere where it could get
hit by direct sunlight.
Please do not leave this somewhere where it
can start a fire.
With that in mind, let's try to get more shots
and hopefully not die.
There's the Lensball.
Let's see if we can get anything cool with it.
You're trapped in my snow globe.
What's kinda confusing me is this ball itself is upside
down, and she is right side up.
Bro, what should I do with the photos?
Should I make it right side up
or should I flip it upside down?
Or should I just mask this ball area and then rotate it?
(soothing music)
Trying to get the hang of this thing a little bit.
What if we put this in water?
That thing's gonna get washed away.
Oh my God, my shoes are wet.
(soothing music)
How does this ball look under water?
Filming on the GoPro, and we're just gonna take
this under water and see how it looks underneath.
(soothing music)
The Lensball does not work under water.
Look at my back.
It's like pure red.
That's my back.
I am so sunburned.
It hurts.
Oh my God, the Lensball's been pretty awesome.
You can get some really unique shots with it.
It's a little bit tricky getting video with it.
It takes a little bit of coordination.
But, for photographys and stills,
I think it's pretty cool.
You can get pretty awesome photos with it,
even if you're just using your phone
and shooting through the Lensball.
But again it is kinda a niche thing.
I think it's cool to have once in a while.
It's a little bit heavy,
so I don't know if it's something that you constantly
have in your kit.
But, if you're gonna go to a pretty cool location
and have a picture in mind that you wanna get,
I think it'd be pretty awesome to have.
The quality of the ball itself is also really good.
There's a jumping fish.
It takes a little while to get used to shooting
through that Lensball.
But if you've ever shot on a fisheye lens
on a camera, then picture it like that.
You know you wanna get pretty close to the subject
and just get all this distortion around the side.
So think of it as a fisheye lens,
if you've ever shot with one before.
The quality of the ball seem pretty solid.
I mean, we rolled it around rocks and sand
and all that stuff, and it's not marked up at all.
The biggest downside is easy.
It burns your hand when you hold it at an angle.
So, always keep it in its case when you're transporting it.
Especially if it's gonna be in the sun,
then make sure it's not in direct sunlight,
'cause it will start a fire,
if you leave it unattended.
But as long as it's in its case,
and there's no light going through it, you should be fine.
But yeah, that's pretty much it.
If you guys take some awesome photos with it, let me know.
And, see you guys later.
