I ordered one of these Washigei rockets, but without the camera:

And then separately, I ordered the "OREGON SCIENTIFIC ATC2K WATERPROOF ACTION CAMERA" it's made for. The first one, from Amazon, didn't work (I got a refund). The second one, from eBay, didn't work either. I gambled with a cheap used one (confirmed to work by the seller) that was so cheap I never bothered trying to get a refund.

My question: has anyone found another round camera that fits in the Washigei "trailer"? Like maybe the "ATC3K":

I'd also use it for cycling-biking. Having it round would allow fitting on my Washigei rocket. I'm more interested in a tractored camera than those little, light and efficient side-mounted ones.
 
I've used this one: https://www.dhgate.com/product/waterproof-full-hd-1080p-sport-camera-dvr/778103532.html

it's significantly smaller than the ATC2K. Has about the same image quality as the runcam 2k. I bought mine for $25 and free shipping.


Oregon used to make the "Chamelion" which had two lenses and would record both onto the same frame simultaneously.

Was cool on a rocket because you could film straight up (or down), and straight out at the same time. The software that came with it was horrible though. You can see it on this flight:
