The Digital Video Rocket

This rocket, made by Estes, makers of model rockets for nearly 50 years, provides enthusiasts a view of the rocket's liftoff and flight from the rocket's point of view thanks to the impact-resistant digital camera in the nose cone. From as high as 300', the camera can record a 12-second video at 640 x 480 pixel resolution or take up to three pictures per flight (stores 15 pictures). It comes ready to fly, and the camera is oriented toward the earth during flight. The camera connects to a PC with the included USB cable to download the flight video. The rocket uses Estes C6-5 engines (sold below and at hobby stores) and includes a launch pad, camera software, and two sets of L1154 button-cell batteries for the camera. Injection-molded plastic. Includes launch pad and controller (requires four AA batteries). Ages 10 and up with adult supervision. 16" H x 3" Diam. (3 1/4 oz.)
