Take Videos In Space - With The Video Rocket

This rocket, made by Estes, makers of model rockets for nearly 50 years, provides enthusiasts a view of the rockets liftoff and flight from the rockets point of view thanks to the impact-resistant digital camera in the nose cone.

From as high as 500′, 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 and includes a launch pad, camera software, and two sets of L1154 button-cell batteries for the camera.

The video rocket is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer $59.95 (about £30)
