I've disassembled an 808 #11 camera today and tested it's recording capabilities. This thing is tiny. The videos are coming out tinted a bit yellow, but I'll see if it looks better in a better lit environment. All of the electronics together look pretty sweet, and I'm thinking, based on the shape, that the camera pcb could go inside of the nose cone. The 808 camera is powered by a 3.7v battery, as is the arduino feather, so I will be able to power them with the same source. I was hoping I could test that today, but the JST connector on the camera is a different size. This shouldn't be a problem, because I'll need 2 connectors anyways.
