Small video cameras that are favorites for you folks

[Gene Engelgau]

Hi All, what are some good small(ish) video cameras folks are just taping to their rockets?  In my case I need them to tape / strap onto a small drone we are parachute testing with. I would like decent quality, self contained, with rechargeable battery.

Currently the smallest fully contained camera (used in Rocketry) is the Estes Astrocam.    It's a decent little camera.

The Mate 808 is pretty good too, long time favorite of mine, but they've been getting phased out 

Mind you small is subjective :)  Some people thing the Firefly Q6 is small. As well as the Mobius line of cameras 

All record locally, self powered and can be found on eBay

Hi Gene,

I used to use one called a FlyCam which was designed for attaching to model airplanes. It had a rotating camera on the end so you could attach it to an airplane and then rotate the camera to point where you wanted it. I smashed that one. I currently use a cheap ($30) Chinese camera off of Amazon

It is a full 1040P camera with audio. The lens is on the end so you have to orient the wohle camera in the direction you want to film. This one is no longer available but there are a lot of similar ones on Amazon
