Next was the sustainer only from my Estes Loadstar II, with my cheapo video camera in a cardboard sled, going up on a C6-5.

I thought I’d try getting better video quality by drilling a hole in the payload tube, so the camera wouldn’t be looking through the plastic. I suppose it didn’t hurt, but let’s face it, this camera was very cheap and not designed for action footage. The outward facing orientation was less than optimal too. Altogether the video is not especially watchable, but there are occasional frames where you can blurrily see things:

(The timestamp is not quite correct.) I think this may meet one of my NARTREK Silver requirements.
