Hardware Optiow30
Description
This camera was selected mainly for its built in timer. Idaho State University balloon team recommended this camera to us after many successful balloon flights. This 7 Mega Pixel digital camera has built in timer so no external timers are needed. Works well for balloon launch imagery. UV filter is recommended. If filter is used, be sure it covers the light sensor (the little black dot on the front of the camera) as well as the camera lens.
