My project
Hello,
I'm doing a dslr camera trap now.
The case is this one :
Attachment 96
https://www.conrad.ch/fr/valise-dout...cs-658800.html
The DSLR will be my Nikon D750 with the 50mm or 24-120 probably ( I will do 2 differents housing fot these 2 differents lenses )
I will put a home made PIR sensor and connect via a jack 3.5mm connector to the case.
This electronic will have a light sensor, 16 differents modes (or less ;)) selectable with a rotary switch, led status who can be disabled and maybe more features if I find ideas or if you give me more ideas
I'm 3d drawing with Solidworks and 3d printing with my Prusa i3 MK2.5 differents pieces like to hold the 86mm filters and to fix it to the case, print in flex to do at least weatherproof protection
Now I need to find a hard solution to fix on a tripod,... with a 1/4" or 3/8"
For Flash I use Yongnuo flash at the moment I have a YN-685 with a YN-622N on the camera to remote the flash trigger.
here is a thingiverse link for more details :

I received a TF-322 and modified it. I connect the sync connector in serial to the trigger wire, like this I am able, with my PIR electronic sensor, to detect the day and to shoot without flash during the day...
I don't know if my project will work fine everytime but I want to test it!
the only problem I have now is I'm around 2cm higher with the TF-322 and I don't know if I can put inside the box as planned

I almost finished the case, and now I'm focusing on the electronic I do myself, and print case myself with my 3d printer. I pick ideas of Camtraptions to adapt to my ideas..
I have 16 programs I can choose, I detect the day/night to turn ON/OFF the flash (maybe I will not be able to insert it in the "pelicase"

Looking forward to seeing the final build!

I updated the first post to add informations

Interesting project, i am going to follow this.
I have had a camera trap out in Southern coast of Finland for a little more than a year. PIR has its good and bad sides. I use a light barrier in certain places when i suspect false triggering of moving bushes or trees. Keep posting

I just try to developp a new version where I can connect many different sensors like laser, PIR, optical sensor, noise ?! but now it's not the priority
Here is some new picture of first version who work but need to use many different battery (DSLR, flash, sensor). My goal is to group on only one 12V battery and be able to be used more thand 1 day (especially for flash)
