Launch and capture the view from above with the AstroCam Starter Set. This all-in-one kit includes a high-flying model rocket with a built-in video camera, plus a launch pad and controller—everything you need to fly and record your own rocket launch. It's perfect for beginners, STEM learning, and anyone who wants to relive the excitement from the rocket’s point of view.

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.
