Yes I went digital a long time ago. I use about 20 to 30 cameras depending on circumstances. I’m not sure how many I’ll have at Oktoberfest but in that range I suspect. You can checkout some videos come of the teams at the Spaceport Americas Cup have made using my footage. I post them on my face book page. https://www.facebook.com/RocketryPhotography/ or clips on my Vimeo page https://vimeo.com/

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 the same spec) are about half the price. They easily fit into a 54mm rocket with just the lens sticking out of the body.

We now have editing capabilities but I do not see a method to delete posts that are not longer applicable.

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.
This image may give you a better idea how aerodynamic the cowling is.
