@Adam Savage’s Tested so you made comment about handling the camera and getting sticky residue on your hands kind of makes you an unofficial member of the mythbusters crew. So my question is can one gain such unofficial membership status if the year prior, when mythbusters was filming its first season, two curious science students, my friend and I, convinced there 8th grade tech/science teacher to allow them to test their co2 derby cars with leftover E12 rocket engines from a previous project? The results that followed where two derby cars that traveled the regulation derby length in about a second and a half, two obliterated derby cars, the derby track backstop destroyed, a dent in the wall, two big scorch marks on the cafeteria floor, a smoke filled room and hallway, and all eyebrows safe and accounted for. So I ask would this qualify us for unofficial status even though the show wasn’t on air yet to inspire such thinking? 😂🤣Just joking! 😂🤣 But hearing these stories about the cameras and the hell they went through for the crazy experiments mythbusters did just reminded me of this fun and crazy experiment from my youth that was not properly thought out. So, a great many thanks to you and the crew, especially Grant and his robotics for all the joy, fun and entertainment you gave us for well over a decade. So in kind I thought I’d share with you the same joy the science and tech students from my middle school had before mythbusters was picked up and became a global phenomenon, which would go on to dazzle us with brilliance or baffled us with Bull$#*@ but entertained us all.
I asked a question about cameras and tech during the Behind The Myths tour! I remember vividly the rant you went off on about “crispy cam” and going through, “about a camera a week.” It was a wonderful moment for me as a young person and it blew my mind to see you talk about it again
I would've never imagined that the video for a huge international cable TV show was largely recorded on little consumer cameras like the one that I bought with my high school graduation money.
It was the early version of a GoPro or similar small cameras. High quality cameras are heavy and would have cost ten times as much to run so they did their best to find a good solution. #engineering
@@KnuckleHunkybuck They're still using those industry standard bulky cams, just not putting them where there's a chance of total death of both bulky camera and the operator behind it.
@@verandisoldusty6834 Right, and I also fully understand that. I just never pictured a Sony Handycam like the one in my closet being the source of some of the video that I was watching on cable back then.
I wish i could afford anything in that auction, MythBusters was such a wonderful show, to have a part of the show in my possession would be amazing, alas, not possible. A message to Adam, Jamie, Tory and Karrie, and of course the rest of the MythBusters team both still with us and moved on, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a brilliant, amazing show, you've shaped multiple generations and have made the world a better place, so again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you
My favorite Mythbusters camera death that we got to see was the slightly disastrous in shop test of your hybrid rocket motor in the Confederate Rocket episode. Edit: I knew I got something wrong so I’ll right that mistake now. The rocket motor you and Jamie tested was a hybrid not a compound like I previously stated. It may mean that I lose the heart bestowed upon this comment by Tested but I feel it is important to fix mistakes. Cheers everyone!

Has anyone at Tested or the Foundation reached out to Craig Ferguson to see if he'd be willing to publicize the auction on his social media or something? Grant *was* Geoff Peterson's "father"...Craig might be willing to raise awareness about it. 🤔
The fluff on the microphone is intriguing. One of the issues with GoPros in race cars is the amount of wind noise I wonder is this would help with that.
Man, i wish i could afford a piece of buster or a blueprint from the auction. I grew up on the show and it has brought me so much joy during its run. And of course it has also brought me into the world of science and taught me how to approach things. I can't thank you all enough for that.
Your line toward the end "Almost makes you an unofficial member of the Mythbusters crew" would make a great fundraiser T-shirt. "Almost Unofficial" on the front and Buster and Adam back to back holding trashed cameras on the back.
Cool to see that the camera crew used the same techniques I have for filming. I use 1/4" thick steel plates 3m-taped to the base of my cameras as it's more sturdy than the usual tripod lug on the camera bottom. I also use 3m tape to attach my camera mounts to my dashboards so I don't have to drill. I would have enjoyed being a camera guy for Mythbusters
I've seen a couple of others, it generally depends on which came first. For example Tod's Workshop was a replica and prop maker who started talking about the things he made and their context, then realized he had the stuff on-hand to actually test theories about who things were used against various types of armor and such. Hit UA-cam fame a few years ago for getting some other folks together to actually test Agincourt ideas of longbows vs plate armor. Actual longbowman, actual armorsmith, everyone giving citations for what they were using for the testing, et cetera, neat stuff. Anyway, when he's shilling for his store at the start of a video that feels natural because it's his day job, the youtube videos are just a hobby and publicity. Big difference from a UA-cam-first guy creating a merch store and spending five minutes promoting that.
It scares me so much we'll have no idea where any of this stuff is in five years, if it survived, if anyone knows what it is. Let alone in ten, twenty, fifty years. What about by the time I have kids? They won't get to see any of it. What a way to end it. Ashes to ashes I guess. I'm glad it will all exist in history if nothing else because of these videos.
“It belongs in a museum!” I understand the sentiment, but as a collector of historic items myself you need to also consider the other side. Odds are someone will hold onto it and cherish it and treat it with great reverence. Years ago the wife of the pilot of the Memphis Belle was auctioning off his belongings and now I possess a piece of his jewelry and it goes flying with me every time I go up, it’s one of my prized possessions.
@@johnbeauvais3159 to reply to only your first point as of now. I don't think it should necessarily sit In A museum. I believe there could be some other option, it doesn't have to be black and white. Also, and I mean this with full respect. Please don't put words in my mouth. The point I'm trying to make is that I want it to exsist for history sakes. All museums are preservation, not all preservation is required to be in a museum. See what I'm saying? I'll finish reading now, pardon me. Alright, so yeah. That basically covers the rest of your point. While I fully admit I don't have the solution, I think there must be one. Maybe one could be, sell to a private museum? But more so keep it in a collection and "curate" the owner so you know they have good intention. Come up with an agreement where you somehow keep track of the collection and it defults back to ILM or someone in the case of the owner dying and the person who inherits it not having the proper way to take care of it? Ok, see I do t know the solution, hah. But I'm more of an expert at sensing when something feels off. We have a lot of other smart people on the planet that could come up with something.
My current camcorder is the same model as the one in the middle at 0:45 :D If anyone wants to know the model number is HDR-CX11 or HDR-CX12 depending on the region
That's one thing I would actually like to know more of is how they kept up with all the different footage and dates and time codes that whole system behind it like you said that's a feat of engineering in itself I love to know more about that
Man, I wish I'd had a chance to bid... but it went way out of my budget anyway, lol. Very glad to see that most items went for at least $1k, and it looks like y'all raised many tens of thousands of dollars! Good to see that people went nuts grabbing MythBusters goodies and funding a great cause!
@@actioncircus1 that’s the closest I could find quickly on searches with the correct body shape and markings. It has to be a hdr-Cx series camera of some sort
@@actioncircus1 the elevated zoom seems to be only on a single model body as far as I could find unless they had a custom +2x lense added for the show?
You should hold a raffle or two. Give everyone saying they can't afford a piece of the show the chance to win it, and to give what they can, even if it isn't much.
If he wasn't already an expert in so many aspects of the physical world with his craft, he could also give Billy Mays a run for his money! I don't always watch Adam, but I never feel like it's wasted time.
I was a little sad to find that I missed this auction by a day (a bit less sad when I saw that everything went for way more than I could feasibly spend lol), but it made me happy to see that some lucky individual managed to get the actual spent JATO rocket from the pilot for $16k.
The predecessors to modern GoPros! Out of curiosity, how would those have compared to modern GoPros? What about earlier generations of GoPros that were made back when the show was being filmed?
How's the sticky goo product spelled? I've looking for something like that for ages since Adam commented it on a tested video or in his book, and coudnt find the reference again :(
Wonderful to these pieces one last time. Before someone with very deep pockets buys these things. Then resold for even more money. Great where the money goes to.
Yeah, I'm kinda sad that the exhibition is no more and all this is likely to disappear. Prop auctions always make me a bit sad even when the proceeds are going to a good cause. The one that really bummed me out was that giant Star Trek auction where they auctioned off damn near every practical model the shows ever had.
I have a question. If this was answered in another vid please someone link it. How do you feel about the new generation of mythbusters? I feel that they are trying to replicate what the previous team did, instead of developing their own style (which i personally would like).
Let me say I'm most excited by Grant's death because as a kid growing up he was everything I wanted to be. I absolutely loved watching him and his creative mind. And I was honestly truly driven to tears when I found out he passed away
Just had a look at the auction, I had thought the blueprints might be in the realm of something I could afford given how many there were but nope >< It's awesome they are making so much money for a good cause though.
We feel the same way. Some of us internally had our eyes set on the Painting With Explosives paintings ... until the bids really took off. But so happy the Foundation is raising money.
I'd love to support the foundation, and I'd very much love to own a piece of Mythbusters history... but, OMG... when perusing the lots, clearly these weren't intended for normal people to be able to bid on...
sony has a habit of putting really great tech in cheap consumer products... best pair of headphones EVER to be made Mdrzx100 £20 with great range... loved those headphones had about 4 pairs.
Okay, I understand why people would want to buy props, but why would people want to buy old beaten-up cameras that were never actually shown on Mythbusters?
Because they themselves are the things that filmed what we saw and heard on the show. These little beat up cameras are what gave us all those hours of entertainment and they even show signs of their involvement in the catastrophic things that they were meant to capture. Who wouldn’t want one?!
absolutly right... although I dont understand why people buy their props.. they done the job showed the principles of function and then what ... watch them and go home ??? I mean one can support Grants STEAM foundation also without having these in your house.... what would one do with it in 2 yrs 5 yrs 10 yrs from now ? let them catch dust ?? I honestly dont see the use of buying these heavely worn out props. I guess I am too much of a down to earth Dutchman... sorry Adam. it was a great show.. hope to see you guys doing it in the future again but ... thanks but no thanks for the camera's.
@@thewaytruthandlife did you forget to change accounts when you wrote that last comment because that’s what it sounds like. Also, you appear to have somehow completely missed what I was saying, so I’ll just let you figure it out.
Adam claims in this video that the cameras are being sold as a single lot, but on the auction site there are three separate listings, each with its own bidding history.
“DON’T BE SAD”??? I never got a chance to see it and let’s be real only a small number of people have the 💰to win this stuff even if it wasn’t going to a good cause

The one that really bummed me out was that giant Star Trek auction where they auctioned off damn near every practical model the shows ever had.
@@Doctors_TARDIS
Once again never to see a prop ever again. But better than crushing them and go into a dumpster.
@@assassinlexx1993 Exactly, I remember the Star Trek TNG set was found at a dumpster. So that's what would be the alternative.
@@VincentGroenewold
Set could be sold easily.
I wonder how many high-speed cameras they managed to destroy?
This is why the GoPro was invented.
OMG!
Thoes cameras look great!
Too bad they don't work anymore!
I have a question.
If this was answered in another vid please someone link it.
How do you feel about the new generation of mythbusters?
I feel that they are trying to replicate what the previous team did, instead of developing their own style (which i personally would like).
All bids are still underneath their asking price, for anyone with some interest.

Man I wish I could afford some of the stuff up for auction
I really wonder what's on the hard disks that's in them?
Let me say I'm most excited by Grant's death because as a kid growing up he was everything I wanted to be. I absolutely loved watching him and his creative mind. And I was honestly truly driven to tears when I found out he passed away
OH NOES, the mythbusters goo is again on everything!
What's the band that's on his right forearm?
It's a ruler of common measurements.
Which SONY camera model is it? 🤔
Just had a look at the auction, I had thought the blueprints might be in the realm of something I could afford given how many there were but nope >< It's awesome they are making so much money for a good cause though.
Would be nice yes, but all of these items are one of a kind, so naturally are expensive
We feel the same way. Some of us internally had our eyes set on the Painting With Explosives paintings ... until the bids really took off. But so happy the Foundation is raising money.
will they ever make mythbusters dvds to buy
They did. A quick google resulted in many options to buy all of them for pretty reasonable prices. And they can be streamed from Discovery+.
Really cool
This big part of me wants to buy them and get try and rebuild one to working. 😂
My thoughts too. Lol
I thought the muffies where just to make them look cute. Need some googly eyes to go with them.
I thought the cameras actually *were* the eyes of some sort of animatronic Merle Haggard robot 😂 And the mufflers were his eyebrows! ROFL.
@@ElectroDFW Son of Short Circuit
An unexpected find. Fun.
I'd love to support the foundation, and I'd very much love to own a piece of Mythbusters history... but, OMG... when perusing the lots, clearly these weren't intended for normal people to be able to bid on...
Ha!!! I’m surprised how many cameras you guys killed.
I use Butal at work all the time
What a sales man .. he has people wanting to pay good money for literally garbage
pov adam tries too sell you a broken camera
yeah luckely I am not the only one who says .....wtf ??? a camera I need is a new & working one....
We saw you in tv show Mythbusters 😲🤕
Can we bid on these even if we are not from the U.S.?
So what _IS_ the fuzzy stuff??!?
Dampens audio wind noise...
Very cool
So those aren't just gramp pa cameras?
I used the crap out of that stuff, and we always called it dumb pucky... not sure why
Just think what you guys would have been able to do if GoPro cameras had been available to you.
Cool
Well can't afford to bid even on a camera
Question, why didn't the cameras get wrapped in tape before the putty was applied? Just wondering if there was a reason? Thanks.
Ello Adam😃
sony has a habit of putting really great tech in cheap consumer products...
best pair of headphones EVER to be made Mdrzx100 £20 with great range... loved those headphones had about 4 pairs.
Dang I hope I win something!
Is the shark wearing braces?
There are covers on the teeth; they are SHARP! (And yes, they do look like Invisalign!)
Anything is a buttplug if you're brave enough lol
Ok
Yrs
Adam coukd sell used glue
Ha!
Gee, if they were so great, why not mention which model they were? Maybe we'ed like to see how they run!
Okay, I understand why people would want to buy props, but why would people want to buy old beaten-up cameras that were never actually shown on Mythbusters?
Because they themselves are the things that filmed what we saw and heard on the show. These little beat up cameras are what gave us all those hours of entertainment and they even show signs of their involvement in the catastrophic things that they were meant to capture. Who wouldn’t want one?!
@@AirJimInCT well simply because I want a new working one...if I wanted one...
absolutly right... although I dont understand why people buy their props.. they done the job showed the principles of function and then what ... watch them and go home ??? I mean one can support Grants STEAM foundation also without having these in your house.... what would one do with it in 2 yrs 5 yrs 10 yrs from now ? let them catch dust ?? I honestly dont see the use of buying these heavely worn out props. I guess I am too much of a down to earth Dutchman... sorry Adam. it was a great show.. hope to see you guys doing it in the future again but ... thanks but no thanks for the camera's.
@@thewaytruthandlife did you forget to change accounts when you wrote that last comment because that’s what it sounds like. Also, you appear to have somehow completely missed what I was saying, so I’ll just let you figure it out.
Adam claims in this video that the cameras are being sold as a single lot, but on the auction site there are three separate listings, each with its own bidding history.
Yes, he thought at the time it would be one lot; it was decided later to make them into three, to give more people a chance.
“DON’T BE SAD”??? I never got a chance to see it and let’s be real only a small number of people have the 💰to win this stuff even if it wasn’t going to a good cause
