Did a quick google. There are 2 very large military bases, one of which is a naval weapons facility very close to the FAR launch site. And if you look at them from space with SAR satellites like sentinel 1, you can see a variety of shiny spots on the bases from feed back from powerful radio emitters on the ground. If I had to bet, that's the issue with your GPS receivers. They probably have counter-weapon systems running in the area. Though if you check the map of GPS anomalies, there doesn't appear to be one over the area, but the fidelity's of the tool I was using to check isn't good. You'd really need a proper SDR on-site. I bet you find all kinds of noise in the GPS bands and similar military bands. You may need to upgrade to something more mil-spec maybe? Eitherway, cool rocket!
I was just a Joe Shmoe in the infantry. But I’ll tell you that anytime you are near a large military base your cell service is fucked from all the radios from people training, testing gear, etc…not even necessarily a defensive move - just works out that way.
I can back up that problem with GPS. I use a GPS speed and location unit in my car for tracking radiosondes in the Calif desert, and some days the system will not work right or at all. It works worse around china lake. My SDR shows some anomalies at frequency right around the GPS area.
Absolutely could upgrade to some higher quality GPS. Absolutely not under any circumstances will he be using anything mil-spec. The US access controls on military GPS frequencies are insane, even other goverment agencies fail to get access to mil-spec GPS.
After watching this whole video and what you were asked to do for the sponsorship spot, I honestly cannot think of a better product endorsement than this.

This is a perfect way to show off how durable your cameras are like imagine in an ad stating that their camera can survive a over 1000 feet free fall and can go Mach 3 and still survive.
it all comes down to force. the reason cams like this survive besides being built well is no force. its 35g. this is why your old flashlight with 2 d cells inside "SHATTERS" when you drop it but the pen light just bounces. its all about mass. at 60g's this camera experienced 2kg of relative mass. but a 2kg rocket would experience 120kg of relative mass. BIG difference :-)
Please do a MK2 of this. This was not only a great video, fun to watch but also a fantastic sponsor integration in my opinion. The extra challenge to get a cool shot, a fast af rocket and learning about the ways you track a rocket down was just great!
The spiral makes me think the rocket was spinning real hard, could the cameras have been pulled out by centrifugal force? Also I love the whistle effect of those camera holes, a whoop of excitement becomes a scream of terror ahaha
They seemed like the rest position was really close to the center of spin, but I'm sure it was a factor that got out of control as soon as a jiggle moved the upper tip of the camera. That backlash was not up to the task.
@@robertsmith2956 one: satellites don't work that way. two: area 51 can be imaged, and eavesdropped on from "not directly overhead" so there's no point, three: ummm conspiracy much?

You managed to make a 24 minute ad and I loved every second. All the simple yet creative engineering ideas you had! I use a Go 2 every day on my motorcycle or surfing or on my dog. They’re amazing little cameras.
I reckon that when the second stage started spinning the centrifugal force forced the cameras to fold out prematurely, it'd also explain why the button panel was bent outwards away from the camera body.
Exactly what I was thinking during that final camera frame. You can almost see the bottom camera leaning out of its frame which would make no sense if it was due to G-force or drag! Makes total sense that a centrifugal force could cause them to open up
I died laughing at the "I also used... An amount... Of black powder". I had to show my coworkers and they also lost it and I think you'll have a few more subscribers off it 😂
You could probably do the same setup for camera deployment with a small modification. Mount a layer of perforated cardstock sealed to the fuselage over where they deploy from, then add a blade or spike to the camera. Camera stays behind aerodynamic shield until deployment, blade or spike rips (or somehow shears it completely away) the cardstock for the shot, and the normal airstream from terminal velocity until shoot deployment should be safe for the current rig. Or, since the faceplate of the camera is removable, print a plate with that will seal the airstream around the camera, but can break away if needed after deployment. All sorts of fun solutions.
This rocket is incredible, the redundancy and strength of the airframe is a testament to your trial and error experience that you’ve gained. I wonder if the top servo mount was flipped 180 if the rocket might’ve survived. Something about that 2nd stage leaving that’s just glorious to watch

My daughter and I have been building model rockets for the past few months and I have been making and printing fin guides for them. I was thinking it was overkill, but now that I see you doing it I feel a bit better. Though we are working on very different skill levels.
Nothing is overkill with model rockets! Everything you do, no matter how seemingly insignificant, will have massive effects on the final performance of your rocket! Best of luck!
Really Informative and has unique content, the simplicity of how the process is shown and explained is truly admirable. Videos like these remind me of the true power of a platform like RUclips.
It would be educational from a testing perspective to do a flight with the camera holes covered so that the aerodynamics of the cameras are definitely not effecting the rest of the rocket, although this would of course lose the cool footage. Alternatively, if you could have the cameras attached to a panel that is flush to the rocket until the cameras deploy, you could probably achieve the same improved aerodynamic result and also get cool footage. I cant help but think that Mach 3 wind past the camera in its retracted position had serious aerodynamic impact and as you said, once they protruded a tiny bit into the airstream it was 'game over' for the servo retention/deployment mechanism. I suspect that you were having a Bernoulli effect over the lens being raised relative to the rest of the camera body with consequential 'lift' or pull on the camera against the retention mechanism with maximum torque applied by the lift against the servo lever because the servo lever was at the end away from the lens. Cool Stuff!!
If you name the rocket EBDB next time that could stand for: 1. Experimental Boosted Delivery Vehicle 2. Enhanced Ballistic Dual Burner 3. Exploration Beyond Deep Boundaries 4. Emergency Beacon Deployment Bot (if things get hot)
Do you think the open portal on the side of the rocket could have produced some low pressure as the supersonic air passed over it? Possibly pulling the camera out into the air stream? Rather than the change in G forces? Or possibly some vortexes inside the portal compartment, with the same effect?
9:17 That is my worst nightmare when it comes to integrating LiPos into any vehicle. Accidental punctures/cuts make the battery *wayyy* to excited. Also, I would probably buy this camera, after seeing it (mostly) survived from a Mach 3+ flight and a 4 km free fall. PS: The whoop of pure joy from the camera turning into a high-pitched scream as the camera knows what's coming, is pure music to my ears.
Eeby Dweeby 2 for sure. Next time instead of using servos to fold out the cameras, make a spring loaded lever that is locked by a sliding mechanism that wint allow it to bend out. This way there wont be a servo's worth of power keeping the cameras inside the rocket until it is time to deploy them. Should make the mechanism immune to extreme g's, including rotational.
When I chamfer the edges of the fins, I always do them all at the same time by staggering them and clamping them together before sanding. I just lay them on a flat surface, edge down, and then angle the whole set so that the edges still touch the surface, then I clamp. That method ensures that they are all the same.
I used those comspec trackers on my pets for like 10 years. Imagine seeing someone outside your house with one of those things. My neighbors were all very cool about it though. And sometimes a cat would come home without their collar so I'd have to ask neighbors to let me poke around their yard with this beeping antenna thing trying to save like 50 bucks on a new collar.
Just happened onto this. If you’re an engineer, you’re a very _young_ looking one. I’m just astonished at what you’re accomplishing. This is some very sophisticated rocketry. Many years ago I visited a Goddard Museum in Worcester, MA and was privileged to hold to look through one of his original handwritten note books.
the more astonishing thing is that you learn all these on your own from scratch, i want to ask you that from where do you learn all these things, also how you learned aeronautical engineering along with electronics engineering because you have designed great rockets but also the brains of it heck you have developed your own micro controller you are really hardworking much much more than i'm, hats off.
That would be extremely dangerous. If they hit each other they would immediately mutually break up, which if it happened early enough in flight, could cause injury to people nearby. Furthermore, assuming they don't hit each other, they would experience some amount of roll during the flight, so tracking would be required. They also might travel vertically at different rates which would require the camera to point up/down inside the rocket, which may or may not cause turbulence, don't quote me on that one. Although it's an extremely cool idea, it's very complicated, unsafe, and impractical. Believe me, I would love to see that shot, but it can't be done.
If you do end up making Eeby Deeby 2, I think just having a sliding door controlled by a high throw servo would work fine for the cameras. They wouldn't need high torque and surely there's room for two more flat servos in there, right?
In the next rocket it would probably be better to have both cameras' hinges be at the top of their mounts, so that if they flop into the airstream they would get pushed back in
I looked up the coordinates shown by your lower stage. It appears that place is pretty close to Edwards AFB. I expect they're blanketing that area with signals that make it very difficult to receive the civilian satellite navigation systems.
Have you tried using a simple wideband SDR to check for EMI at the launch site? (11:22) You can compare wideband analysis from home to that of the launch site and figure the EMI source. I wonder about the 360 if it would survive a drop from onboard the ISS as well; Marvelous sounds it got there haha!! Can't wait to see a second trial in this shot.
If you try to drop it from the ISS it will stay in orbit for weeks or months and at least it battery will die very quickly because of the extreme temperatures and also vacuum...
I love it when a successful marketing campaign is the result of unplanned, unscripted outcomes. No lies, no gimmicks, no false advertising. Just natural storytelling. Because if the product is good enough, lies and deceit are not needed. I’ll have the GO camera on my shopping list 👌🏻👏🏼
how to make stuff faster: Paint makes the Rocket go faster RGB makes the PC faster Stickers, well, they make anything faster (always a good option). So, what do we learn from that? Color is speed
Could the camera deployment assembly live inside a sleeve stuck into the bottom of the second stage? Once you hit apogee, kick the cameras out the bottom the same time you kick the 'chute out he top. If the outer layer had a clear section, then you could capture the entire flight footage as well. Seems like less drag overall, too.
I'm such a huge fan. I'm currently upgrading a sous vide cooker that I made in college. Your videos remind me to stay passionate, even if I'm not doing things as cool as rocketry! =)
Absolutely do another one. Im not in to model rockets but i do like watching you guys blast these powerful rockets off. Good job and thanks for not making your video too boring by dragging it out to long.
🇦🇷 Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina Thank you very much for the Academic Material. It is very helpful to me, ideal for my technical drawing designs on Rocket 🚀 and Spaceship graphics. Again Thank you very much. 🇦🇷 🚀
The way this video is produced is a masterclass in RUclips entrepreneurship. And then it hit me: you created a media company that will fund an actual rocket company. This is brilliant and I want to be an early investor when the time comes.
I've had 3 rockets break up at mach 2.4 to 2.7 (calculated at sea level). The last rocket recorded 6-dof inertial recordings. Analysis shows that as the rotational rate approached the axial dynamic resonance the rocket went sideways. An off-axis CG likely caused coupling between the rotation and AOA causing rocket to nutate. When the AOA of the fins hit about 10° the rocket instantly went went sideways. This started less than .5 second before brake up. The avionics had a gentle ride down while the motor stabilized and continued to apogee and a ballistic recovery. It made a 1.1m x 75mm hole in the playa. Only the slightest blip in the motor's trajectory could be seen from the ground.
Maybe ambient salt crystals are attenuating the GPS signal? IF not salt, perhaps some other locally abundant element? I know sometimes dry lakebeds have a lot of metallic elements in dense concentrations. I think they even mined lithium not far from there, if I'm remembering correctly...

I cant help but think that Mach 3 wind past the camera in its retracted position had serious aerodynamic impact and as you said, once they protruded a tiny bit into the airstream it was 'game over' for the servo retention/deployment mechanism. I suspect that you were having a Bernoulli effect over the lens being raised relative to the rest of the camera body with consequential 'lift' or pull on the camera against the retention mechanism with maximum torque applied by the lift against the servo lever because the servo lever was at the end away from the lens. Cool Stuff!!
Eeby Deeby reminds me of the noise made by a robot (named Twiki) on the TV sci-fi show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century from '79.
You would be correct, although the original EBDB meme is a panel of the comic with Buck and Twiki in a compromising position.
you dont have to be a rocket scientist to realize how good these videos are
If you name the rocket EBDB next time that could stand for:
1. Experimental Boosted Delivery Vehicle
2. Enhanced Ballistic Dual Burner
3. Exploration Beyond Deep Boundaries
4. Emergency Beacon Deployment Bot (if things get hot)
#4
that's my vote
Extremely Badly Determined Black-powder.
Extra-terrestrial Bad Day Bringer. Dude hit a UFO with his rocket.
Do you think the open portal on the side of the rocket could have produced some low pressure as the supersonic air passed over it? Possibly pulling the camera out into the air stream? Rather than the change in G forces? Or possibly some vortexes inside the portal compartment, with the same effect?
9:17 That is my worst nightmare when it comes to integrating LiPos into any vehicle. Accidental punctures/cuts make the battery *wayyy* to excited. Also, I would probably buy this camera, after seeing it (mostly) survived from a Mach 3+ flight and a 4 km free fall. PS: The whoop of pure joy from the camera turning into a high-pitched scream as the camera knows what's coming, is pure music to my ears.
Eeby Dweeby 2 for sure. Next time instead of using servos to fold out the cameras, make a spring loaded lever that is locked by a sliding mechanism that wint allow it to bend out. This way there wont be a servo's worth of power keeping the cameras inside the rocket until it is time to deploy them. Should make the mechanism immune to extreme g's, including rotational.
When I chamfer the edges of the fins, I always do them all at the same time by staggering them and clamping them together before sanding. I just lay them on a flat surface, edge down, and then angle the whole set so that the edges still touch the surface, then I clamp. That method ensures that they are all the same.
Yeah. I would do it this way or not at all. If not done perfectly they will steer you.
I used those comspec trackers on my pets for like 10 years. Imagine seeing someone outside your house with one of those things. My neighbors were all very cool about it though. And sometimes a cat would come home without their collar so I'd have to ask neighbors to let me poke around their yard with this beeping antenna thing trying to save like 50 bucks on a new collar.
This man's relentless creativity knows no bounds. Just as I finish one video, another even more captivating masterpiece awaits!
This was one of the coolest sponsorships I've ever seen. Not only was it perfect for this channel, but man is that an awesome little product.
Just happened onto this. If you’re an engineer, you’re a very _young_ looking one. I’m just astonished at what you’re accomplishing. This is some very sophisticated rocketry. Many years ago I visited a Goddard Museum in Worcester, MA and was privileged to hold to look through one of his original handwritten note books.
22:23 damn that camera is excited to be on a rocket
...And then it wasn't...
the more astonishing thing is that you learn all these on your own from scratch, i want to ask you that from where do you learn all these things, also how you learned aeronautical engineering along with electronics engineering because you have designed great rockets but also the brains of it heck you have developed your own micro controller you are really hardworking much much more than i'm, hats off.
7:14 Speaking of over-complication (which I think you might like as a challenge xD), maybe try some synchronized rockets looking back at each other? 👀
That would be extremely dangerous. If they hit each other they would immediately mutually break up, which if it happened early enough in flight, could cause injury to people nearby. Furthermore, assuming they don't hit each other, they would experience some amount of roll during the flight, so tracking would be required. They also might travel vertically at different rates which would require the camera to point up/down inside the rocket, which may or may not cause turbulence, don't quote me on that one. Although it's an extremely cool idea, it's very complicated, unsafe, and impractical. Believe me, I would love to see that shot, but it can't be done.
as a slimecicle fan, this is the greatest thing i have ever seen
That camera was like Tony Stark. It was found "just chilling on its own in the middle of the desert," and all beat up.
Ok the drill cam was way cool than I expected it to be.
If you do end up making Eeby Deeby 2, I think just having a sliding door controlled by a high throw servo would work fine for the cameras. They wouldn't need high torque and surely there's room for two more flat servos in there, right?
Doors, or even just a pin that lock in the cameras. Then have the camera on a spring-loaded mount which folds out when unlocked.
In the next rocket it would probably be better to have both cameras' hinges be at the top of their mounts, so that if they flop into the airstream they would get pushed back in
This should actually work since they are 360° cameras, they can be facing the same orientation and still record each other.
I looked up the coordinates shown by your lower stage. It appears that place is pretty close to Edwards AFB. I expect they're blanketing that area with signals that make it very difficult to receive the civilian satellite navigation systems.
Honestly probably among my favorite sponsoring of a video, it's a great collab which is cool for everyone involved!
Have you tried using a simple wideband SDR to check for EMI at the launch site? (11:22) You can compare wideband analysis from home to that of the launch site and figure the EMI source.
I wonder about the 360 if it would survive a drop from onboard the ISS as well; Marvelous sounds it got there haha!! Can't wait to see a second trial in this shot.
If you try to drop it from the ISS it will stay in orbit for weeks or months and at least it battery will die very quickly because of the extreme temperatures and also vacuum...
The ultimate drop camera drop test. No one else could have achieved that.
I can’t wait for the space shot. Shits gonna be insane
I love it when a successful marketing campaign is the result of unplanned, unscripted outcomes. No lies, no gimmicks, no false advertising. Just natural storytelling. Because if the product is good enough, lies and deceit are not needed. I’ll have the GO camera on my shopping list 👌🏻👏🏼
How do you keep making better and better videos every time
Did Elon musk visit your mom some 25 years back.
Woahhhh
Is that a real question
One of your best videos to date, really great! The sound of acceleration on stage 2 was wild! Glad you found 1 of the cameras.
how to make stuff faster:
Paint makes the Rocket go faster
RGB makes the PC faster
Stickers, well, they make anything faster (always a good option).
So, what do we learn from that?
Color is speed
Always love the debriefs with lessons learned. Keep em flying.
3:59 And your fins start to Jello😂😂
Awesome vids keep up the great work !!!
With all your ability, would it be possible to create a jig fpr measuring balance arounf the vertical axis? Like a tyre balance machine.
Sensational project, video and presentation mate. Cheers, Grimmo from Oz.
What a great video! The camera and you are awesome. Loved every minute of this and look forward to the next.
Could the camera deployment assembly live inside a sleeve stuck into the bottom of the second stage? Once you hit apogee, kick the cameras out the bottom the same time you kick the 'chute out he top. If the outer layer had a clear section, then you could capture the entire flight footage as well. Seems like less drag overall, too.
Fantastic video…the most fun rocket video I have seen. Great job. Will be looking forward to more!
Great build and flight. Can you use a tilt out mirror/prism instead of moving the whole camera?
I ❤ how this camera stabilizes recording against ground so the rocket spins in the middle of the record instead of the whole world around it.
I'm such a huge fan. I'm currently upgrading a sous vide cooker that I made in college. Your videos remind me to stay passionate, even if I'm not doing things as cool as rocketry! =)
Awesome video, also one of the best adverts I have seen so far ever.
Really pushing GO 3 to its limits . my dude you CRUSHED IT.
Absolutely do another one. Im not in to model rockets but i do like watching you guys blast these powerful rockets off. Good job and thanks for not making your video too boring by dragging it out to long.
🇦🇷 Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina Thank you very much for the Academic Material. It is very helpful to me, ideal for my technical drawing designs on Rocket 🚀 and Spaceship graphics. Again Thank you very much. 🇦🇷 🚀
That's awesome!
Insta360 better be paying you a lot for such a raving review!
The way this video is produced is a masterclass in RUclips entrepreneurship. And then it hit me: you created a media company that will fund an actual rocket company. This is brilliant and I want to be an early investor when the time comes.
It's gotta be great to build something and see it work. That's a great rocket and one helluva camera.
This guy is awesome!! Bravo!!
I've had 3 rockets break up at mach 2.4 to 2.7 (calculated at sea level). The last rocket recorded 6-dof inertial recordings. Analysis shows that as the rotational rate approached the axial dynamic resonance the rocket went sideways. An off-axis CG likely caused coupling between the rotation and AOA causing rocket to nutate. When the AOA of the fins hit about 10° the rocket instantly went went sideways. This started less than .5 second before brake up. The avionics had a gentle ride down while the motor stabilized and continued to apogee and a ballistic recovery. It made a 1.1m x 75mm hole in the playa. Only the slightest blip in the motor's trajectory could be seen from the ground.
Lol the noise from the 360 cam after launch is hilarious. It’s like it’s screaming to it’s near death experience
This is the greatest product promo I've ever seen 👏🏻🙌🏻
Super cool flight! Can't wait to see the second version!
Maybe ambient salt crystals are attenuating the GPS signal? IF not salt, perhaps some other locally abundant element? I know sometimes dry lakebeds have a lot of metallic elements in dense concentrations. I think they even mined lithium not far from there, if I'm remembering correctly...
At 6:14 I felt like you were going to say "Anyway, while this paint dries we haven't talked much about today's sponsor: Raid Shadow Legends"
4:00 NICE DANCE STEP.....!!! 😂🤣
It warmed my heart to see your beeper.
In the 80’s, I was stripping down smoke detectors to constantly scream as locators.
