Every place I've looked their out of stock.
I got the Chinese beta release of this thing for jus t$20 from like 2012, and 
it works pretty good.  Good picture.. rugged.. cheaper/smaller/lighter than 
GoPro or other more expensive "bullet cams".

I know some folks also make use of the $3 keychain cams like this:

Talk about CHEAP! Plus, they're lower profile and are better for smaller 
rockets like what you're looking for Chris. Plus if it CATOs or core-samples.. 
you don't lose a $130 device.
(which we've seen happen at launches)
