Anyone up for the challenge?   |
Hi, Greg,
To be clear, according to the instructions on the Semroc site, this kit comes with the Cineroc shaped payload section. All that's needed to do what you suggest is to add a hole, then mount a mirror and gum cam. (In fact, I have one of these Semroc faux Cinerocs, but have yet to fly it  )
So getting some aerial video from this kit is certainly a reasonable mod.
I agree that having a molded plastic unit would be cool. But keep in mind, us Yorfers are all about making do with paper, balsa and FnF. That's all we need for a pretty danged good facsimile 
(In my case, rather than use a mirror, I opted to mount the camera horizontally.)
Doug
