I'm okay with the images and how he retrieved/arrested the camera using a parachute.

There's no way that ballon could lift 100,000ft+ of string though...might have weighed over 5kg.

I reckon the parachute simply opened when the balloon burst (normal), then he retrieved it, perhaps by the aid of a simple homing signal, similar to an animal tracking device (tx the size of a match box). They would have been able to calculate the region where it came down...at least with a 5km radius.

I reckon it's legit.
