If anyone has any more info on this smaller Cineroc, please post.

Gary Rosenfield made it. Yes, long before Aerotech and even before Composite Dynamics. Do not recall what magazine I saw it in but there was a pic of Gary with it (might have been in Estes' MRN). I think it was more along the lines of a super-modified Cineroc made by an inventive rocketeer, than an actual "prototype" for anything Estes might have made.
Oh..... did not find the magazine, but found two photos, from Friday before NARAM in 2006 when Gary was given a couple of old photos rescued from historical rocket stuff thrown out when an old Estes building was torn down or emptied.
