Lost a piece near the end. It would be interesting to hear what the repair tech says about the camera and lens condition. The photographer is most worried about getting his memory card back.

An old school Canon A1 would have dusted itself off and ask what everyone was looking at!?
At least it wasn’t a white barrel lens. Hopefully the bits coming off where just easy to replace plastic accessories.

The same here. The world is so awesome currently.
Speaking as someone who dropped a (once) very nice Nikor 24-70 f2.8 lens on this concrete floor HD Video Feedback Kinetic Sculpture: The God Machine on Vimeo right before that shoot, I’d say that this guy’s lens is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

If the camera survived in good condition, the manufacturer should license the footage for use in a future ad campaign.
