The Extreme Rocketry booklet on Camera Payloads is a primer for anyone who has ever wanted to see rocket flight from the perspective of the rocket itself! It provides a basic grounding in the techniques necessary to successfully launch and recover a variety of cameras.
Even though the cameras in these projects are mostly film based, the focus is more in building successful payload bays and optical paths, neither of which is dependent on the image recording medium. Digital photography is addressed in the last chapter which covers still, recording video and downlink video.
