Free Fall VideoI am a new to the group so perhaps someone will take pity and point me in the right direction.
I was pondering the other day if I could capture reasonable video onboard a foamy so I strapped a CVS-Camcorder on a Hyper-Active-33 and flew a gentle pattern around a local park.

The second flight was a bit more spirited and when I initiated an inverted snap roll about 2 minutes into the flight, The camera launched over the plane and then proceeded to "Free-Fall" over 200 feet with forward momentum landing safely at the base of a brick wall. The camcorder exploded on impact so I carefully collected the pieces and snapped everything back together at my shop. Despite the fact the recorder no longer functions, I was able to retrieve the first video but I fear the second more exciting "Free Fall" video file may be corrupted because the recorder lost power on impact before the file was closed. I was able to download the "IMG" file (125MB) before the camera solidified into a brick but I'm clueless how to retrieve any video data from this file. I would greatly appreciate if any of you experts could suggest how I might possible retrieve this lurking video file.
Thanks,
Wade
