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.

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.

Video camera doesn't work
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.

Good camara, but the holder don't work.
The good thing is that the camara works good and the quality is okay.But the to watch the videos you have to put the SD Card out of the camara, because the USB port doesn't work. The second thing is that 41 Dollar are to much for a little bit of plastic. The main problem of this camara is that the holder don't work. The camara is secured by a singel rubber, which don't do what have to. At the third flight the camara fall out of it at a high of 1100 ft and get destroyed.It is a very good idea, but it is too expensive for a singel use product.
