Onboard video from Mike Borman's PML Small Endeavor rocket that was launched July 17, 2010 from a site near Holland, Indiana, USA.

The rocket reached a maximum altitude of 2680 feet. The video has been slowed down to make out ground details more closely. Since slowing it down also distorted the audio, the audio has been deleted. Still pictures of this flight and other flights can be seen on my website at www.mborman.org .

Small Endeavor 121309.avi (2011-10-20)

Launch of Mike Borman's PML Small Endeavor with CPR recovery and onboard Booster Vision Gearcam video camera. The first part of the video shows the launch from a nearby tripod mounted Sony Mobile HD Snap Camera followed by the video captured by the camera onboard the rocket itself. The rocket motor used was an Aerotech H180W. The onboard altimeter deployed the drogue parachute early at only 660 feet due to the altimeter bay not being sealed well (o-ring slipped out of place). The main chute then deployed at around 600 feet. There was no damage to the rocket. The rocket was flown at Launch Crue's December 2009 Meeting/Sport Launch near Holland, Indiana.
