Are there a specific type of camera you guys use or can you just bring your own? Like whatever camera manufacturer your comfortable with.

He didn't need to clarify it until you misunderstood it.
If you wanted to add to a cool fact your sentence would have been better off starting with something along the lines of "And", "Also" or even "However" rather than something that's attempting to be contradictory like "Not quite".

So I started researching and Wikipedia actually has a calculation on this and for an asteroid with hyperbolic excess velocity of 12.5 km/s the effective increase of the cross sectional impact area is 80%. Not x10 or anything but not insignificant either.
The impact is going to be larger than that for objects that approach the earth from nearby orbits.

And it’s basically a goof, an experiment. Built with cheap consumer hardware.
Exceeded expectations is an understatement.

Great shot Don, given your tight quarters and exposure.
We have come a long way since John Glenn's drug store Minolta Ansco Autoset.
You go to great lengths for your craft. It shows, sir. It shows, indeed.

We had an earthquake in my town exactly at the same time it passed close to earth. Strange huh 🤔

But it is big, but it won't hurt, but it could hurt, but the earth is big...

Now this is the coolest story ever. Often wondered about building my own. Intimidating.

Which dwarf planets can you see? My telescope can’t even reach Pluto

JPL been trying to break this thing for like a year now. These latest flights are high, long, and fast.
What an amazing feat of engineering. Quickly becoming my favorite space probe of all time. Ridiculous.

They are collecting data on what you can do with a helicopter drone on mars.
