I have some pictures to show of the shroud and camera.
I used a two pin header off of a motherboard and a shorting jumper as my switch. This will hang out the top of the payload tube, you'll put the jumper on to 'turn on' the camera and put the nosecone on (yes, it will have a shock cord - just in case).
The string is kevlar to pull the camera board out of the payload tube and I tied the shorting jumper to that so I wouldn't lose it.
The shroud was constructed and then sanded to fit the tube. I wrapped a piece of sandpaper around another tube the same size and sanded the shroud till it fit perfectly.
[BTW this is the payload tube of the Quest Icarus - with a D motor mount]
