Stupid question but is there a secondary balloon just below and side filming it?

Nope.

There's high-zoom Nasa cameras on the ground & some attached to the capsule

Stupid question but is there a secondary balloon just below and side filming it? They can't be shooting from the ground surely?

Was just thinking that...

nope all being filmed from mission control, 80 miles away and 120,000 feet below, so incredible footage and tech to capture it in HD.

No, that camera is on the ground, about 25+ miles away.

Pretty impressive, huh.

Not a single buffer here on a 3MB copper connection out in the sticks.. (Plusnet)

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

He isn't stopping. Hope he hasn't scoffed some of that magic candy from Santa Claus the Movie

 

[Nexus18]

Well it is finally working very well now, hopes it stays like this, probably will start buffering once he jumps

 

[Richie]

Capsule vertical track is slowing... Not soon now

 

[DirtyJester]

if he says troubleshooting one more time....

 

[V F]

Well, it was.

BBC seem to think a sports bulletin is more important!

Typical, isn't it.

 

[oli356]

Will jump, woo

 

[Azza]

He is going to jump!

 

[TheBigCheese]

Decision made to jump despite visor problem!

 

[Westyfield2]

I like the fact that they're "troubleshooting" and "working the issue" with his heated visor.

Also known as turn it off and on again.
