LIVE Breaking open GoPros to use in a rocket

What's up pals, happy No Effort November. Today I'm breaking open a bunch of GoPro HERO10 Bones cameras so they can fit into the upcoming Meat Rocket. If you wanna support my quest to get unreasonably high quality in-flight footage:

Smallest 4K 120fps Camera Possible

Quote
I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS: putting a mirror on the outside of a rocket IS another option, but it ends up cutting into the camera's field of view really hard, so I'm not a fan. To get the same FOV as having the sensor outside, you'd need a larger mirror which would add to overall drag more than the sensor itself. Anyway - lots of ways to solve the camera problem!

That's a novel form of endothermic TPS- never heard of that one being tried before.

I wonder if it would give any points towards being carbon neutral?

Simplex V2 is the second largest rocket motor I’ve made - my goal was to ensure that Risky Batman (the propellant) burned consistently at a large scale and Mystery Goo (the liner) eroded slow enough to work in the full spaceshot motor

The AGARD-B model is the gold standard for wind tunnel calibration, and it’s had the same shape since the ’60s. I don’t have a wind tunnel (yet), but I do like verifying my CFD data.
