Stand back and press the launch button and the model rocket camera captures the breathtaking sights and sounds from liftoff through recovery from onboard the rocket itself!

New Rocket Guy –
I fired both engines that came with this rocket. It was very fun and did very well. The camera did not work and there is no indicator light on it like the instructions read.
Ordinary Rocket User –
The rocket flew very well. The camera lost all the videos and they did not show in the file explorer
