Looks like they rely on the fin aerodynamics to keep the camera oriented in the right direction.

An interesting but completely different approach might be to try using a fixed camera and synchronize the shutter to the rotation using a gyro, or use computer vision to align the video to a non-spinning frame of reference like these guys. Disadvantage of these methods is your max frame rate is dependent on the spin rate (given the results from this year's FRC, this may be less of an issue if a robot is the one throwing the discs ).
