Flight Log - 2005-06-19 - Steve Lindeman's Oracle

See first hand what it looks like from your rocket's point-of-view to be blasted off and then recovered. The easy-to-use video camera allows you to capture digital movies from liftoffs to landings. Save the movies to your laptop or PC using the included software and USB cable. Resolution is 320 x 240 Pixels (CIF).

Requires Windows-based computer, with CD-ROM and USB port. Requires one ‘AAA’ alkaline battery - sold separately.

(CD will only work with Windows XP or older programs - not compatible with Vista or Windows 8. And a phone call to Estes revealed that they have no plans of upgrading the software.)Frown
