Not available<br>> anywhere right now that I could find. TWeeks is correct, I'm looking<br>> for fly a pretty small rocket, so I was looking for a really small<br>> camera. I also have larger rockets and something like this would be<br>> interesting to try on the big rockets:<br>> <br>> http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Sports-Outdoor-Action-Camera/dp/B00EL104FU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1SJJA4KHA4KZQ3TSGW2P<br>> <br>> For the smaller rockets, I'll probably go the 3 dollar route - or<br>> possibly disassemble a pen camera of some sort and put it in/on the<br>> rocket.<br>> <br>> <br>> I have a number of the Contour cameras and they are decent, but the<br>> company that made the Contour went out of business and I'm not sure if<br>> anyone ever bought up the rights to the company and re-opened it.<br>> Since I need a bullet type of camera, I'm trying one of these:<br>> <br>> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW01J8A/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1<br>> <br>> I'm an odd duck in that I either want a REALLY cheap easy to use<br>> "throw away" camera, or I'll pony up and get a decent camera, HD,<br>> 1080p, durable, with a few features and better video quality.<br>> <br>> Thanks again<br>> Chris<br>> <br>> On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 11:13 PM, Thomas Weeks<br>> <tweeks-homework@theweeks.org> wrote:<br>> >> Booster Gear Cam HD.
