McDonald’s Lunch Rush POV

McDonald’s Lunch Rush POV

This POV video from McDonald’s employee Stephen Patula will give you a newfound respect for the people working in fast-food restaurants to feed us. He shot the first-person video during the lunch rush to show just how many meals a line worker might prepare in five minutes.

Shark Eats Action Camera

Nature photographer Nico Zimm was shooting footage of tiger sharks when one of them figured his Insta360 camera looked like a snack.

The Sonic the Hedgehog series is known for its breakneck speeds, loop-de-loops, and corkscrews. Now we can see what Sonic sees from his perspective thanks to this first-person mod of the PC version of Sonic Generations, posted by Blue Vivacity. Be warned, you might not want to watch if you’re prone to motion sickness.

Germany’s Miniatur Wunderland is home to the most amazing miniature scenery on the planet. This video lets viewers ride along every section of its model railway, offering a 360º view of the tiny world, including the insides of its tunnels.

Playing Darts

Playing Darts

Buttered Side Down got on a new dartboard and decided to try his hand at the game. As expected, things go off the rails when he realizes it’s not only impossible to land a bullseye but to hit the board at all. Perhaps he should call Mark Rober for an assist.

The Grand Canyon from a Space Balloon

The Grand Canyon from a Space Balloon

In 2013, a group of college students launched a weather balloon and a GoPro camera into the clouds above the Grand Canyon. It soon came crashing down to Earth, but they couldn’t find it when they lost their connection to its GPS tracker. Two years later, the team recovered the camera and shared the footage it captured.

What a Torpedo Sees

What a Torpedo Sees

Ever wanted to know what a torpedo sees when it’s launched from a submarine? Now’s your chance. While this particular projectile doesn’t have explosives on board, it’s still cool to see its perspective as it speeds through the water. If you freeze-frame at 1:11 you can catch a glimpse of the sub in the rear-view shot.

Seabreacher POV

Seabreacher POV

The Seabreacher is a single-person sea craft that can momentarily dip beneath the surface of the water. This POV footage by Jason Prado gives you a sense of what it’s like to ride inside one. It looks like a lot of fun, though it’s unfortunate that it can’t stay submerged for longer.

LEGO Ships vs. Ocean Waves

LEGO Ships vs. Ocean Waves

The USS Brickster sets sail into the roughest seas a minifig has ever seen. Canvas 23 Studios took a model of the LEGO City Ocean Exploration Ship, fitted it with a GoPro Hero 10 camera, and dropped it into the ocean to see how it and a smaller LEGO craft would withstand the surf.

Hot Wheels Lunch Break

Ski Jump without Snow

Ski Jump without Snow

Zooming down a ski jump under normal conditions requires a certain amount of courage, but doing it when there’s no snow on it at all looks downright terrifying. That’s precisely what skier Christian Høgfeldt did a few years back, as he placed his skis into the tracks of a bare ski jump, headed downhill, and landed safely at the bottom.

The Longest Indoor MTB Trail

The Longest Indoor MTB Trail

A big part of mountain biking is getting out and enjoying nature. But when the weather turns inclement, an indoor trail doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Especially if it’s as awesome as Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Cleveland, Ohio, which is home to a 1.6km (~1 mile) long trail, loaded with a variety of tricky terrain to test your skills.

3-Story Hot Wheels POV

3-Story Hot Wheels POV

They shot the POV footage with a RunCam 5 Orange, a tiny 4K action cam designed for mounting on RC vehicles.

LEGO Winter Train Ride

LEGO Winter Train Ride

Half-Asleep Chris created this wonderful LEGO railroad which winds through a snowy winter scene.

The journey starts around the 7-minute mark.

Treetop Hot Wheels Track

Jetson ONE Forest Flight

Jetson ONE Forest Flight

The Jetson ONE is a single-seat flying machine that works like a giant quadrotor drone. Previously, we got a look at a test flight in an open field, now let’s go for a more scenic flight along a forest trail. It’s not as quick as the speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi, but it’s the closest you can get in real life.

World’s Steepest Funicular

World’s Steepest Funicular

Take a ride on what is now the steepest funicular railway, a marvel of engineering that carries passengers up a mountain in Stoos, Switzerland at a crazy 110º gradient. It lifts more than 89,000 pounds, nearly 2500 feet in altitude along its 1.07-mile route.

Saving the World

Saving the World

Buttered Side Down’s latest video is a blatant advertisement for Welch’s Fruit Snacks. Regardless, we think he did a brilliant job integrating the juicy treats into his usual POV shenanigans while showing off his sponsor’s product in the best possible light – as the Earth’s savior.

Llangollen Canal POV

Llangollen Canal POV

The Llangollen Canal is a UK waterway that links Denbighshire, Wales with Hurleston, Cheshire.

It’s no longer used to transport goods and now offers leisurely boat tours.

Awesome Hot Wheels Backyard Track

Foggy Forest Mountain Bike POV

Mountain bike rider Mark Matthews takes us on a wild first-person ride through a foggy stretch of forest on Vancouver Island. As the greenery and trees whip by, we couldn’t help but think of the speeder bike chase on Endor, only with smaller trees.

Ride 4’s Photorealism

Ride 4’s Photorealism

This POV footage from the motorcycle racing game Ride 4 running on a PS5 is some of the most photorealistic game footage we’ve ever seen. The reflections, lighting, shadows are so spot on that we can’t believe this was rendered in real-time by a game console. Watch at 4K 60 FPS and HDR if your system can handle it.
