Key chain camera/size of rocket
What is the smallest rocket you would mount one of these key chain cameras to?
I Don't want to throw a rocket so out of balance that it arcs bad. Where would you mount the camera, just under the nose cone, middle, or way down low between the fins? My guess would be up top. |

I'm thinking BT-55 or BT-60 would be the smallest I'd try. So far, I've always mounted my camera just under the nose cone. It's the spot where a payload section would be, so I figure someone who actually understood the forces at work already did the figuring for me.

Something like the Chrome Dome, and use an B6-4?

Not sure how well this camera will work, as I tried it and walked around with it and it comes out very shaky/blurry.

That seems like it would be perfect. Stocky and stable, and best of all, almost disposable.

How does it look when it shoots from a stable surface? Try it from a table.

I will have to try that. I hope it is clear, like yours, when I launch it. I do have some spare unbuilt Chrome domes in the attic just in case. But then I would have to get another camera and memory card. Which vendor did you get yours from? Mine came from ecshop_us |

Both of mine came from Hong Kong via Ebay. Gotta check for the name of the place.

Leo has flown his on one of the little ARTF Army Patriots. That's the kit that's based on the old ARTF Dagger and Bandit kits from the mid 90's. IIRC they are about 1" in diameter.
I'd put it at least a little in front of the CG. .
