Camroc 808, A Tribute to Innovation! In 1966, Estes Industries revolutionized model rocketry by introducing the first commercially produced camera designed to soar through the skies on a model rocket. The Camroc's unique design captured the hearts of kids everywhere, but its complexity often hindered results. Yet, the thrill of witnessing the world from a new perspective drove many to send their Camroc aloft. For a deeper dive into the original Camroc's history, check out this fantastic blog: http://www.rcgrabbag.com/archives/estes-camroc-1966 The Camroc 808 pays homage to its classic predecessor while upgrading with modern technology. This sleek design allows you to record stunning 1080p video, boasting increased frames, vibrant colors, and unparalleled resolution. To bring the Camroc 808 to life, you'll need: 1. An 808-based keychain camera (most models will work seamlessly) 2. A BT-50 based rocket (like an Alpha) Or, if you prefer a more customized approach: 1. A BT-50 (approximately 8 inches long) 2. A BT-20 motor tube 3. A Motor retention clip 4. An Engine block 5. A shock cord 6. A Parachute 7. Nylon Zip ties (you may need multiple) For an added challenge, why not try flying with TWO cameras?
