Great little camera, poor mount

The media could not be loaded. Great unit! I don't know how they source it but it is cheaper than just about anything other than a terrible keychain camera and very compact/light. I had to order a second one because I forgot to secure the rubber band on the mount - gone. Be really careful with the mount or just DIY something.

Handy little cam to record your rocket flight

This is very neat gadget if you're into model rocketry. It records very cool videos with sound that you can share on social media and with your friends. Video quality is good (not HD). Make sure you follow instruction on how to affix it to your rocket because this is my 2nd one. First one flew off and I never found it.

simple and solid rocket camera

The media could not be loaded. Strapped the camera to the side of an Aerotech Cheetah and launched on an F67. I used plenty of masking tape with the tyvek strap used by the camera. The rocket took off like a scalded cat, spinning for the entire boost phase. Probably due to the camera on the side of the rocket. The camera stayed firm and the video is attached.The camera stays in a holder with a rubber band. At the end of the video the camera slid "up" due to the landing impact. This is the cause of the black border suddenly appearing.

Trash mount ruins an otherwise good camera

The form factor is great, video quality is passable. We were pretty excited to play around with it! Did two launches and got a bit of video. Then on the third time we tried, the tiny rubber band that holds the camera onto its mount wasn’t enough to survive the recovery charge. When we picked up the rocket at the spot it parachuted down to, there was no camera on the mount.This is a huge design flaw and I’d definitely not trust their mounting recommendation if I could do it again! If you do go with this camera, tape it all the way on with every use or otherwise mount it more sturdily than the instructions recommend.

Easy and fun to use

This camera is easy to use and a lot of fun. I recommend not using the rubber bands and instead tape the mount to the rocket then tape the camera to the rocket.
