+1 for liquidfyre! Awesome stuff and what all my large rockets use.

Don't suppose the 4" 808 shrouds can be adapted to 5.5" airframe?

Green painting tape. Lots of it, to help direct air over the camera. Worked well up to an H motor so far.

Here’s another option that is available for a fair amount of rocket sizes. I put too much effort into my rocket to just end up taping a camera to it .

Vinyl electrical tape. Up through M motors so far. I have not tested at supersonic speeds, just up to about .9 mach.
Gaffers tape. Leaves no residue.

+1. I use Gaffers tape for almost everything. Strong Easy to tear and leaves no residue.
Apogee camera hood and Velcro tape. Prevents wind buffeting as with electrical/duct tape. Cheap. Portable/removable.

If you have, or have access to a 3D printer, there are a couple of designs on Thingiverse for 808 type cameras.
