I did my first launch with a video camera on Saturday. I launched a LOC Forte' carrying an Aiptek MPVR camcorder. The first flight was successful, and I posted the video on the <a href=https://www.youtube.com/group/RocketStage>YouTube Rocket Stage</a>.
The second flight didn't go quite as well. The shock cord broke where it attached to the nosecone. The nosecone fell from almost 1000 feet! I expected to see it smashed and stuck in the ground, but we found it laying on it's side without a scratch. I didn't get any video from this flight, but the camcorder survived OK.
I have more information about my LOC Forte' camera rocket posted on my website at https://home.swbell.net/davehein/ModX/forte.html .
