Resources to help with camera system setup for HPR?
I am on a student team and would like to design a good media setup - for photographing the rockets and making videos of launch, as well as producing high-quality on-board live videos.
The setup I want:
- A high-quality video camera to record video of liftoff from the ground
- A high-quality photo camera to capture high-quality stills of liftoff
- A go-pro or something go-pro-like to put on the launch rail with remote power-on and remote recording trigger capabilities
- A good camera for live streaming the launch to our social media
- A good system for creating the highest quality on-board video that would be live-streamed
To this day, my main issues have been:
- Remotely powering on the cameras. The time between leaving the pad and liftoff can be up to 2-3 hours, so we can’t just turn them on and leave them
- Cameras overheating. I have attempted to solve this with a fan that attaches to the camera and a small umbrella, but still better to turn it on about 5 min before launch
- Remote recording trigger. How do I start recording remotely?
Can you guys recommend cameras and solutions for this?
The brand of the camera DOES NOT MATTER, neither does the price NOR the way in which it would be remotely triggered
