eyeRocket I slomo onboard rocket camera

A minidv camera onboard a custom model rocket. Video in slow motion at 1/8th normal speed. It looks really "NASA", including the amazing onboard fire. Shawn Skead "donated" the video camera

'put the kettle on... ' Nice touch, don't think anyone is gonna make it back for tea though.

So what would you recommend for use now. BTW - I'm not planning on a dual-clustered rocket at this point 8-)

Thanks, Dave

Most digital cameras have a movie mode, you have to find one cheap, small and light. I'm working on a rocket with a small, no zoom fixed focus camera, again donated . You can get a wireless pinhole security cameras for $80, but you need a recorder. They're small and light and if the rocket gets lost, you still get the video. Live video will impress the crowd. A local computer store has them for 50 bucks, my next rocket will be flying one. For motors, it'll need at least 1 D or an E for a camera.

Great onboard footage! We're broadcasting Rocket launches live for a new game from Intel and Dick Smith called turboboost touchdown. We're using 5 cameras + 2 onboard cameras and 9 different C,D and E sized fully decal'd rockets.
