Got a Mobius mini and am wondering how to model the camera shroud in OpenRocket. Ideas anyone?

Simulate it as a fin. For the Cineroc, Cineroc DV, and the Astrocam 110 models I've simmed up, I used a fin to create the look of the camera shroud.

If you're wondering how to model it aerodynamically, I've had good results by adding an extra "sim-only" nose cone with a surface area equal to the shroud. Looks weird, and not perfect, but using this I've gone from simming 120 ft over to within 10ft of what my altimeter said.

K'Tesh, I looked at that however I was unable to get just one fin, OR gave me three?

The default is 3... you can change that though.

Big thank you K'Tesh!
