Apollo 4 and 6 each carried a pair of high-speed cameras on the second stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle. They filmed the separation of the first stage and its interstage ring, after which the capsules containing the cameras were ejected, splashed down in the ocean, and recovered. Footage from these cameras is often used in documentaries.

What did these camera capsules look like? Photographs before or after the mission, or drawings are acceptable.

  • The cameras ran at four times normal speed to show the events in slow motion. A moderate high speed. – Uwe Nov 15 '20 at 10:30

  • Interesting, for me it's the first hit for 'camera pod'. Maybe that's because I wrote one of the answers. The search engine here is...weird. I usually give up and use google. – Organic Marble Nov 15 '20 at 16:10
  • Self-closing as duplicate found by @OrganicMarble. By closing rather than deleting the question, it will be easier for future searches to find. – DrSheldon Nov 15 '20 at 17:12
