I'm looking to get a system like the Boostervision remote camera and was wondering, amongst you camera junkies,which is a better technique for aiming the camera.
One would be straight out with a mirror to look down the length of the rocket. This would be cool as you get to see the exhauat plume. However you then need to accomodate the mirror or prisim on the outside.
The other would be to mount it so it looks out at a angle of abou 60-75 degrees off horizontal. Not as dramatic, but leaves the outside more aerodynamic looking.
Finally, I was wondering if anyone ever took a nice fat rocket like a Minnie Magg or Warloc and actually mounted the camera coaxial with the motor so it looks out the bottom?
How about some thoughts?
