VideoRocketry

So how did all this video rocketry stuff get started?  Ever since I flew an Estes Cineroc (movie camera rocket) back in the '70s I've wanted to return to recording the flight of a model rocket from the rocket itself.  It's exciting to see the ground pull away, the earth below spin gently,  the horizon grow. 

The Cineroc did this for the most part, built on the foundation of Super 8mm film.  Seeing as how Super 8  isn't a practical option these days, I decided to pursue a more contemporary recording media: video. Enter Vidroc (Video rocket or rocketry). The concept was actually quite simple -- develop a "low cost" remote video system and stick it in the nose cone of a model rocket.  This channel is dedicated towards that pursuit.
