Awesome flight Gary! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you like the camera. The charge time from dead to full is about three hours.
The little hole is the reset button. You can use a paper clip to press it.
It does sound like the battery is dead. Try charging for a couple of hours.

Its plugged into my computer,and the light hasn't turned off yet...:confused2:
Thanks for answering before too!
A steady light is a full charge. A blinking light is charging.
Hope this helps.

I'd love to see how you do that. I've always used the quick and dirty method of just taping it to the side, using either electrical tape or thin strips of gorilla tape. It works really well, but sometimes peels off the rocket finish. It also leaves residue on the camera housing. I'd like to see whatever solution you come up with.Just received my camera. The video is really nice at this price. I'm going to craft a aerodynamic hood out of Wonderflex for the camera to be housed in on the rocket. If it goes well I'll post a tutorial on how to do it. My wife uses it for her job (costume designer). They use it to mold armor and such. I think it would be nice to give the camera a housing for protection and also to help reduce drag. We shall see.
Does anyone have rough dimensions of these cameras? Height, width, and length?

I'm considering putting a fob camera on the booster of a two-stage model . . . pointed UP so that it can catch staging from a dramatic perspective.
The model I have in mind is an upscale of the Lil' Beth X-2, from an old Model Rocket News. The booster has parachute recovery!
Any suggestions for what to use to protect the lens?
