DSLR camera traps

Anyone else run these? Just pulled the card from my first setup that had been out for a few days and the results are pretty rad. Can see some potential for sure, so if you run one, would be psyched to here more about your setups!

If you don’t feel comfortable putting this out there publicly I understand, but what’s a set up like this cost?

This kit is the core, but you still need to add a dslr, lens, and some lightstand/tripods/etc. I bought used Canon 5d2 and 17-40 lens for the two trap setups I have. There are also a lot of diy guides out there using cheaper components as well, so you don't have to drop $1000 on just the housings and remotes.

Thanks for the info. I’ve seen this done on a professional level in like wildlife docs but never knew how a normal person could get it set up.
