Blooper #002: The Solar Panel That Took a Dive
There I was, installing a Ring Spotlight Cam Plus on the front of our backyard shop. Everything was going according to plan.
Until it wasn't.
Somehow, the solar panel slipped right out of my hand. You know those moments when time seems to slow down? This was one of those moments.
I watched helplessly as the panel started falling toward the ground.
“NOOOOOOO!”
Yes, I actually yelled it out loud. Unfortunately, yelling at gravity doesn't seem to have much effect.
The panel hit the ground. And cracked.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Before throwing my hands up and buying another one, I figured I'd see whether the damaged panel would still work. I covered the cracked area with clear waterproof tape, installed the panel, and connected it to the camera.
And wouldn't you know it? It still worked! 😂
That's how a routine camera installation became our first EzeLuma blooper. Sometimes the equipment surprises you—even after gravity has its say.
