Home Made Remote-Controlled Camera Films Animal

Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas introduce their project, Beetlecam, designed to capture close-up photographs of African animals from a ground perspective. Traditional camera traps were deemed insufficient, leading to the creation of Beetlecam, a DSLR camera mounted on a remote-controlled vehicle. The Beetlecam features a 17-40mm lens, dual ETTL flashes, and camouflage. The project has been successful, resulting in unique photographs. Viewers are invited to see the images on their blog.
