Using of magnets

Hi,

I was in electronic surplus store and picked up a few of small strong magnets with a thought to use them in a camera mount. That's what came out of it:
All the components: Camera is attached to the sled by 4 1x5x10 mm magnets, mirror by 2 2x8X20 mm magnets. I used this setup on a different rocket, but without mirror.

Security strap just in case camera will detach. I have had 5 flights (on the other rocket with same setup) - camera always landed inside of the bay.

And all together:

Very cool idea and I love the mirror setup

Check out Deal Extreme for Neodymium (NdFeb) magnets - you can get them in bulk really cheap!

Now if I could only get my own Cineroc project off the ground (literally and figuratively). I'm hoping to put an 808 #16 inside the Semroc Retro-Reproduction, yet make it look just like the 1974 catalog model.

Very simple and elegant setup... just the way I like it.

Great idea!
