Potential Video Camera?
Has anyone had experience in using this camera in the link below?

It seems to be used on pyrotechnic rocketry but i don't see the problem in using it on a water rocket?

Re: Potential Video Camera?
Those will definitely work great on a water rocket. They're pretty rugged as well. Our very first flights were with a camera of this type. We accidentally ruined the camera by crashing our rocket in the water which caused the electronics bay to flood, and that fried it.davidabaird wrote:Has anyone had experience in using this camera in the link below?

Most people are lucky enough to have launch areas that are dry and free from hazards, so this is a prety good option.

I think that the camera is part of the system to confirm the record, and not considered part of the rocket itself. Otherwise, it would mean we can't use an off the shelf altimeter as well.Drag_Racer408a wrote:I don't think you could use that in a wrocket for a WRA2 world record because it is made for rockets right? So it would be the same as buying pre made fins and then using them.
can anybody clarify this?
