GoPro Session: Anyone have experience for on-board video?

Anyone have experience using the GoPro Hero4 Session for on-board video?

Nope, but thanks for bringing that model to my attention, the symmetry of that should be easier to work with than the Hero 3 I was building around.

Not with a Session, but with a first gen Hero. Might give you ideas. I took a case porthole and screwed it to my airframe for a finished look. The extra holes in the final picture are so I can insert a tool of some sort to turn the camera on, and see the LED blinking.

I'm also working on a mount for my GoPro Hero 3. I'm interested in the way your mounting the camera.

Do you get full field of vision the way you mounted the camera? Is that a 7.5" CR/BT? How are you securing the CR to the BT?
If it's a DD rocket, won't you need to seal the camera from the ejection gasses? Will you be posting your launch videos?

The centering ring is secured with 3 screws, one of which you can see in the below picture, above and to the right of the porthole. Also, the whole section painted black is our "nose cone" and is sealed off from the ejection charge. I get a little bit of vignetting from the porthole, but it's not too bad. It has more to do with the offset body than the porthole. If I just left the hole in the body tube, there is no vignetting. For me, I prefer the finished look.

Here's the 3rd page of my build thread with the other videos and pictures of the flight: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showt...ral-Zone-quot-Build-launch-pics-and-vid/page3

Very nice design, build thread and flight...thanks for the feedback.

No problem. Any time!
