Rob Camele gets the Tenacity Award for Video for his efforts to get onboard video from his rockets. He has been trying to get some shots from his rocket for months without luck.... until the September launch.

Rob's onboard camera captures some spectacular shots of the dark, sparky motor and its initial firing.

Just check out that teeny little thing making all of that smoke and noise in the sky!

Rob Camele watches his Veritas drift lazily into the 12' brush across the road. At least he has a tracker onboard.

Check out the happy look on Rob's face as he easily pulls the Veritas out of the light brush.

Rob Camele watches his Veritas take to the sky on a J-450, Dark Matter motor.

Based on a LOC Ultimate Buzz kit, the Veritas has onboard cameras and a GPS tracker that Rob has added.

In addition to giving his time and efforts as the TRIPOLI Pittsburgh Treasuer, Rob Camele is out there nearly every launch flying his big rockets. If you see Rob at an upcoming launch, be sure to thank him for his great work for the club and for the exciting action that his flights provide us.

Thanks Rob!
