How big is the rocket and how big is the camera? Won't effect the altimeter bay since I'm assuming the camera will be well down stream.

I would appreciate advice on where to place a camera on a large rocket as well, I was thinking about installing a couple of weld nuts insidethe airframe between the fins. This would be the same technique used tosecure the rail buttons, but, instead I would use them to secure the camera pod mount. Is it OK considering stability and other factors like not interfering with the altimeter bay to place a camera between the fins?

The rocketis a fiberglass Frenzy XL with a 4" air frame and a 75 mm motor mount. It stands just about 8 feet tall. If it's successful it will be the only L3 flight that I do. Yes, I should be able to fly it again butthey won't be cert flights. I'd like to document this flight as well asI can and I'm thinking about mounting a Contour Roam camera ( http://store.contour.com/contourroam-1080p-camera-p65.aspx?gclid=CPmm-_P Cpq8CFWlgTAodx2vhXw ) on it to record the flight. Has anyone used a Contour Roam on a rocket? How did you attach it? How does the Contour Roam compare with Booster Vision (my other choice of camera)? I have some of the key chain cameras that I also plan on attaching torecord alternate views in case something goes wrong - I'd like to try tofigure out what happened. But for the main on-board camera I'd like true HD for posterity. Thanks in advance for any advice that you can offer in this area.
