I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this, thank you, so, so , much! I use trail cams and even cought a wonderful video of Porcupine mating ( if you have ever wondered, yes, its like hopscotch on a mine field ) but always wanted a camera solution which was not IR and this may well be it!
Thank you very much for your tutorial and your exceptional expertise. I would like to know more about the housing and how you connect the mc 21 cable to the camera as while you have to drive it out of the housing? One other aspect: how you protect the sender and the receiver against moisture (also heavy rain)? Which kind of equipment you yous to hold the sender and the receiver stable on their place? Do you estimated or measured the delay of the trap? Thank you for your answer! Best regards Josef
@@aFieldBiologist I ordered an “used Nikon MC-21 “ from eBay. Still on the way. Hopefully it will work🤞 Btw thanks for this video. You are the only person on UA-cam that I could find that has any mention about this remote trigger!
@@aFieldBiologist Have a new question!, in the video you mentioned I can add more batteries to the remote control. I used a pair of Energizer Lithium AAA batteries, the AA kind last me a long time in the flash unit, but it seems that the AAA on the remote don't last 2 week during the winter time. Do you have a website where I can find information about making a battery pack for the remote control? Thank you!

Amazing content, fast and full of info, and all for Uk photographer for a change and one that knows exactly what they are talking about.
Thanks James - check out Mike Lane’s channel - One of the old-school UK wildlife photographers showing how its done!
I have always wanted to get into this, may have to look into this piece of tech.

Can I ask you If anyone could make a trap videocamera back in 1999? Would it be possible somehow? Thanks for the video!
It would have been possible to do, but power hungry. Storage space was also an issue.
@@aFieldBiologist thanks so much for replying
I FINALLY found an used ML-3, now i need to get the extension cable 😹...
There used to be unbranded 10-pin extension cables from China on ebay that are as cheap as a used Nikon cable. Not tried them myself though.
