  We investigate the observation of meteors with video cameras in stratospheric
balloons, overcoming tropospheric handicaps like weather and extinction. We
have studied the practical implementation of the idea, designed and tested
instrumentation for balloon-borne missions. We have analysed the data of the
Geminids 2016 campaign, determining the meteoroid flux just before the maximum.
  This text is an adaption of the work by the first author for his PhD Thesis:
Techniques for near-Earth interplanetary matter detection and characterisation
from optical ground-based observatories (Oca\~na, 2017). Refer to his thesis
for further detail. The lines here are a summary of the presentation given, for
the sake of completeness of these proceedings of the IMC 2018 in Pezinok-Modra.
