This is what happens when you record a plane's propellers with a cell phone

lol.

Low frame rate, slow processing, and slow shutter.

Weird...

For whatever reason, I'm so paranoid now when I see these sort of droning, nothing really changing videos. I keep thinking it's going to be one of those videos that has something jump out and scream at you near the end.

I just wanted to reiterate how much I enjoy reading your username out loud

I was thinking the same thing, framerate syncing with the propeller, but they are dropping way down, which confuses me. If the plane had propellers that long, they would hit the fuselage.

i wanna see what it looks like when the propellers slow down when it lands

frame rate and probably something called rolling shutter too. the sensor is probably read out line by line rather than the whole thing at once.

That's the boomerang launcher. The propeller's farther forward on the plane.
