Review: Great little camera - 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.
Review: simple and solid rocket camera - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy little cam to record your rocket flight
*by A***V on March 13, 2025*

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.
