Hobby Rocket With Built-In Digicam

Hobby Rocket With Built-In Digicam

Rocket hobbyists: Ever wanted to ride shotgun in the cockpit of your high-flying projectile? Short of miniaturizing yourself to Tom Cruise-like proportions, the only way to book passage on such an adventure is with the $60 Estes Digital Video Rocket. The rocket features a camera that can capture 15 seconds of 640x480 video during flight. Or, if you'd prefer still images, the rocket can snap up to three photos at different stages during the trip. This eye-gouger can soar up to 500 feet in the air, and when it crash lands it hooks up to your computer via USB for transferring its visual payload.

Oh, if there was ever a time to make another 'Jackass' movie...
