Roger, I'd like to feature that on the GRITS webpage. May I?

Of course. I'd appreciate a link back to the Photo Album at RocketReviews.com, but it's not required.

If I am not mistaking that is my 6" liquid oxygen on a K 550 . What a perfect flight I had with it to 4000ft.

That's flying from the 1st bank of high power pads, which would be too close to have flown a K from.

Roger, any objections if I use that shot for my desktop background?

I'm flattered. :)

Thanks for asking!

Please feel free to use any of my images for your own, private, personal use. If you wish to use an image publicly, such on on a web site, though, please ask first.

BTW ... I forgot to check the clock settings in our cameras, so don't let the times in the file names and EXIF data confuse you when trying to identify the subjects of the photographs at RocketReviews.com.

Haven't launched a rocket since December 13. So jealous of you all!

Great pics and video!
 
A few CJ Pirate Drag Race photo's

With Charlie the "wonder where the food is" Dog, I think he had more fun than me.

Wow, these pictures and videos were GREAT! I really have to plan on attending one of these launches someday. The high power rockets I've seen fly at the drag strip were amazing, but it looks like I missed some really great flights at GRITS!!!

Great job everyone!

The above is a "quick and dirty" video I assembled from the clips I recorded with the quadcopter. When I get the chance, I'll take the more interesting clips and make them look better. For the above video, I used Adobe Premiere's "warp stabilizer" to remove some of the camera movement. But, I didn't correct the video to remove the camera's fisheye effect first. Because of the fisheye, when the stabilizer tries to rotate or tilt the image to counter the camera's movement, you get that weird warping look.

Roger,

Great video! I *so* have to get one of those quadcopters now! Just out of curiosity, what kind/model is it? And does it come with that camera?

It's a DJI Phantom 2 Vision. I chose it because it is an all-in-one solution, pretty much ready-to-fly with the camera and "first person view" control of the camera included.

To all those who were snapping pictures at the GRITS Winternationals:

Did you happen to snag a picture or video of my Blue Phenix 4 which launched from pad 30 around 2:30 pm? I was LCO'ing at the time and didn't have a free hand to set up my camera. If so, please PM me and tell me what the ransom is for getting a copy. :)
