Final Flight of Mike Borman's GoPro Camera Rocket on an Aerotech J415W motor on May 24, 2014. Launch was perfect, but when the altimeter tried to deploy the drogue chute at apogee, the tubing did not separate, and the rocket came in ballistic. The rocket carried a GoPro Hero 3+ HD camera, a RePlay XD camera, two altimeters, and a Garmin Astro DC30 GPS for tracking. Cameras on the ground capturing the flight included a handheld Canon 6D taking still shots, a Canon T4i DSLR in video mode, and a GoPro Hero 2 on a tripod next to the pad.
