Estes 2208 Universal Astrocam HD Rocket Camera and Holder, Model-Rocket Camera, Rocket Model Kit Accessories for Ages 10+

I read other not so fabulous reviews on this camera but anyone that can put a button a light a camera, a speaker, a memory card and it it weighs only 8 g’s my hats off to them! And it has easy instructions. I launched it with a D 12–6 Estes rocket engine it recorded great sound and gave us easy to open USB PORT good pictures. you can always get better resolution with more expensive cameras, but this is a Great reliable I love it.

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.

This little camera worked better than I expected. The sound is a nice feature. It is very small and light. It charges from usb. The resolution is only 1080p, but that is enough. The only thing that would really make it perfect is the addition of 120fps. Because it is designed for a rocket, it would be nice to have a fast frame rate for slow motion playback.

The camera was pointing in the right direction, however I only can get sound and the brightest of lights. I tested it in my classroom and the video is grey except when I point it to the overhead lights, you can barely see the lights. Returning for a replacement.

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.
