Astrocam Starter Set is a marvel of rocketry design combined with twenty-first century electronic miniaturization. Equipped with its own high-definition digital video camera, Astrocam is built to do amazing things. To make sure you get the best possible views from each launch, the Astrocam HD video camera is positioned so that it points downward throughout flight and during the parachute recovery phase. A unique parachute attachment point at the tip of the nosecone ensures that you never miss a moment of the bird's-eye view of your neighborhood or launch location.

This Estes Rocket Starter Set includes

  • Port-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller
  • 2 Types of Engines with Starters and Plugs for 2 Launches
  • Recovery Wadding for 2 Launches

    Successor - Maybe call it AstroCam II

    Some great launches and videos with this. Here are a couple thoughts - make the tube 1.1 inches diameter like the Dragonite. The 15 inch parachute is a tight fit in the 0.98 inch tube, a 12 inch parachute might fit better. I would use at least a B engine - the A8-3 just does not get up high enough, too much weight with the camera. But I will keep buying it as the convenience of the camera mount and performance of the camera video/audio makes for great fun!
