There are Gs involved when accelerating and when decelerating. You could wave
the camera around and around in the air to produce Gs, but what "fixed" your
camera was the sudden stop of the camera's innards that jarred loose some
part that wasn't supposed to be stuck to or jammed with another part. The Gs
of the "crash" did it.

the 5 G's was the speed at which it hurled toward the desk, and that once
it reached said point it was going at 0 G's. On the other hand, they
create weightlessness when training future astronauts by causing the plane
to drop suddenly, so maybe it was going at 0 G's until it hit the desk???
