This is a picture of the Body tube/Coupler where the camera goes. This view is from the rear with the hatch removed.

So the hatch on the back allows access to the buttons for activating the camera at the pad? Now thats a nice idea!
Could you just have holes drilled in the correct spot and then use a screw driver or something to push the record button? I have never been a hatch kind of guy...
Thanks, those pics help a lot!
Just saw this question after I posted the Pictures.Originally posted by jraice
Art, what is the difference with the DV5100F and the DV5100M?
Any pictures of how you mounted it in a 4" rocket?
I watched the utube video, which resolution setting was that on? You could clearly see the large pixels but I thought it was pretty good quality for under $100's...

The newer ones are much harder to hack to make them multiuse.

As long as you get a 220 or 230 that is a very untrue statement. There is a program "floating" around on the Internet called CronusKeys that will hack those without shorting anything. You don't even need to open the case. You do want to stay away from the 510's, but I haven't come across any in my area.

I like the prices on the fidelity items, they seem to have older models which obviously are going to be cheaper...
I am looking at two models on fidelity... DV4500 and DV4100M
I have some questions.
First, they both shoot at 352 x 288 pixels at 30FPS, but the 4500 is CIF and the 4100 is QVGA... the difference?
Also, they both have similar hardware resolution and sensor effective resolution, but I am sure the newer models (like the 5100 and 5900) are higher, what is hardware and sensor effective resolution? Does it matter for rocketry use?

I understand how higher video resoltion would be good... but the spec's sheet has two additional sections, sensor effective resolution and hardware resolution, differences?
I think I will start out with a 4100M... seems almost as good as the 5100F or 5100M, but half the price.
Then maybe from the 4100M ill step up to something that can do 30fps at a higher resolution, the 4100 and 5100 do 352 x 288 at 30fps, which is probably good enough.
What is the difference with the 4100 and 5100 that makes the price so different? Video resolution appears to be the same....
