[RocketsNW] In flight video

I just posted my first attempt at in-flight video in the gallery.  A Binder
Raptor, dual deploy, glassed, on a K695 Redline.
I unknowingly switched the focus to macro when I installed the camera in the
payload bay.  It kinda' negates the fact this is a high definition camera.
 So Apologies for the slightly out of focus video.  The rocket itself is in
focus!
Apogee was just below the cloud deck.  Interestingly, with the camera on
macro, near apogee if you single frame the video you can see snow flakes
going past the rocket.  This is more obvious in the high resolution version
that is too big to post.

Single frame near the start and the
motor blast/reflection on the pad turns the whole image red for a
couple frames -cool!

I'll double check and tape down that switch next time.  I promise!
