Aerotech Initiator Rocket with Mini Cam

Odin's Initiator Rocket Camera
Location: Creston Valley, British Columbia
Father & Son (8 years old)
Hobby: Model Rocketry (Mid Level)
Note: All safety protocols were adhered to; as well as, full clearance from the Creston airport (up to 3000 ft) with proper notification to and with the approval from the FAA (because we are right on the border with the USA). 1st flight max altitude above ground level was 1100 to 1500 ft; 2nd flight = 2000 to 2100 ft; 3rd flight = same as 1st flight; 4th flight = rocket engine malfunctioned (rocket destroyed).
Our motor type was G78-4G, 160 Newton/sec., max. liftoff weight = 3.3 lbs.

we are back at it folks!

after the last blast off & blow up we have finally built a new rocket! we have done some modifications and have to do the finishing touches. we re-enforced the motor tube, added a second parachute and have mounted the cam in the cone. this should make for a less dizzying viewing experience!

we are using the 'venom snake eye micro sports cam' available at your local hobby shop.

What camera did you have mounted to the rocket ? The resolution is really good !

@Sediver1

hi, finally getting back! it's the venom snake eye micro sports cam that we are using. please keep watching, new videos coming soon!

Together our exploration into rocketry, we'll strive to advance our knowledge and improve performance. Our second rocket will have a built-in camera system with improved aerodynamics which will allow higher altitudes; better rotational flight stability; and improved recovery system allowing for softer landings.

Our third mission will be the addition of advanced instrumentation giving us telemetry such as Newton's/sec., altimeter readings, etc.

Thanks for watching our dizzying video.

Cheers.
