A 'Gopro' camera was recently used t' record t' first Canadian rocket launch that delivered Canada's first rocket mail on October 31st, 2011. Avast, me proud beauty!  Before launchin' I watched many videos with onboard cameras t' see for myself what t' best and most reliable method was. Arrr!  What was consistent about most o' them was that t' camera pointed down and betwixt two o' t' fins durin' t' launch. Begad!  This caputured alot o' exhaust at liftoff but really didn't give you a sense o' t' rockets true flight path. Begad!   My method o' tapin' t' high-definition 'gopro' camera securely t' t' center o' t' rocket usin' only black hockey tape (just above where t' parachute seperates), shiver me timbers, while t' lens be facin' towards myself and t' launch area is more visual t' say t' least. Well, blow me down! This method o' a HD camera onboard t' rocket captured a unique panaramic view o' t' area while easily tracin' t' flight path t' rocket took from lift off t' landing.  Watch t' video on You Tube (First Canadian rocket mail flight 2011 by Ashley McIsaac) and you'll know what I mean

So t' next time you record your rocket flight don't forget t' face t' lens towards you and nay down at t' ground.  Also remember, t' center o' gravity in rocketry is usually simply near t' center o' t' rocket. Well, blow me down!  With this bein' said, uneven weight distribution at t' center o' gravity in a rocket makes little difference in effectin' t' overall balance o' t' launch vehicle. Blimey!  So mountin' a camera t' one side o' your rocket will make practicaly no difference at all and you should, shiver me timbers, and will have a normal predicted flight even though technically one side is much heavier than t' other. Begad!  However, if you tried this same method but mounted t' camera t' t' nose cone or closer t' t' fins and away from t' center o' gravity, t' rocket would be substantially off balanced and t' flight path would be compromised. Well, blow me down!  This can happen if you fail t' recognize where t' center o' gravity is in your rocket.
