Are there any other rocket launches featuring video (selfie) cameras on the rocket than Falcon 9 and Electron?
Falcon 9 has some 5 camera and Electron has 3 camera

1$\begingroup$ Roughly how many self-viewing cameras are present in a Falcon 9 LEO mission? (unanswered), and What (the heck) is this purple donut in the video of the Falcon 9 fairing's atmospheric reentry? and How common is it for spacecraft to have “selfie” capability? There are more questions specifically about spacecraft selfie capabilities, but they tend to exclude launch phase. $\endgroup$– uhohSep 10, 2020 at 0:23

1$\begingroup$ In which case an additional question something like "Which launch was the first to carry a movie camera, and which to carry a video camera that provided launch-phase moving images" would be really interesting! $\endgroup$– uhohSep 10, 2020 at 0:27

1$\begingroup$ Movies or video recorded during the launch phase of a mission, as opposed to movies or video during later phases i.e. "rocket launches" $\endgroup$– uhohSep 10, 2020 at 1:10

2$\begingroup$ Soyuz launcher - not at every lauch, but occasionally has on-board camera too, for example this: m.youtube.com/watch?v=fW2EhH1xRrY. You can find more with google " soyuz lauch onboard camera video". $\endgroup$– HeoppsSep 10, 2020 at 10:33

One such launcher would be the good old Soyuz launcher. I think this onboard launch video looks particularly nice.
Given the low cost and weight of video cameras these days, I would expect most launch vehicles to have several. Whether this footage is easily available or not is a different problem.
