I prefer the Sony Action Cameras for my on board rocket camera.  I stopped using the GoPros some time ago.  The Sony's are about the same size as this one (sticking out of the rocket) but the older models (with…   Read more»

The HTC RE camera looks like an interesting device ….http://www.htc.com/us/re/re-camera/ 

Very nice Doug. Thank you for all the photos!I recently was introduced to a ~$100 camera that looks like a periscope. It’s small, high video rate, remotely managed via cell phone, and looks like it will mount into a ~1″…   Read more»

In case it wasn't obvious, the camera is loaded from inside the body tube.  Here is a shot of the cowling before it was installed on the body tube.

Thanks for doing such a good job for the past few years!

Told you it worked.

Nice to see someone finally stepped up to the plate and took over the web site. Nice work.Warren

Just released a new version of the website, replaced the form-processor.Fixed a few bugs with editing site content pages.

I think I got most of the timestamps fixed for postings.  There are some additions that I made to the listing of the Club Forums to show recent activity.

I see I also have a problem where the timestamps aren't being updated properly on the topic records.Defninitely – I will work on all of the above.

The old Forums page had a “View posts since last visit” link. I was kind of in the habbit of hitting that everyday. Would also be good to show when the last post or replay was made in the main…   Read more»

New forum posting works (it's very crude, but it works.)Hopefully this will work for everyone.  At least for now.
