This auction is for a COMPLETE, newly built 35mm camera payload to fit
a 2.6" diameter rocket! (Rocket not included.) It is the same type of
payload that I've used on dozens of high power flights and is suitable
for use with H-J motors, possibly even a K185. Included are the
following:

*NEW Olympus Stylus Epic camera. This camera has shutter speeds up to
1/1000th of a second. The camera has been modified for electronic timer
control, with leads soldered to the shutter button contacts.
*Custom built, variable speed electronic timer with 9v battery.
*Mini-connectors on all electronic leads for instant
connect/disconnect.
*Extremely loud audible locator siren positioned in the payload
coupler. Siren runs on two AAA batteries which are included.
*HAKO Ballistics "stubby conical" fiberglass nosecone.
*Kevlar shock cord harness, rigged to keep the payload verticle during
descent.
*Removable, repositionable mirror shroud with optical first-surface
mirror.
*Unique quick access design.
*Coupler aft bulkhead has removable panel for access to siren, plus
padding to absorb landing shocks.
*One roll of Kodak Gold 100, with modified DX code.
*Complete instructions for use and maintenance.
*Nosecone and mirror shroud have been sprayed with primer and are ready
to paint. Payload airframe is unpainted, so you can either paint it or
cover it as desired. If you wish I can do the final painting or vinyl
coat it, for a small additional fee.
* Total payload weight is 21 ounces. Length is 16.5 inches from
shoulder to tip of nosecone.

*Buyer pays $8 shipping in USA or Canada. International shipping will
be extra.
*I accept Paypal/check/money order.

*You can see a photo of the payload at this site:
