motion detector camera trigger for night wildlife. - 11-21-2008, 11:42 PM


sorry if there is already a post like this. I couldn't find one in searches.

I'm looking for a motion detector, or IR detector that will fire my camera. I use canon stuff. I want to photograph animals at night. I can solder and stuff but prefer not to. Is there affordable product out there that can do this, or an easy rig job? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I've heard of "the time machine", but that's just way more than I'd need, and pretty darn expensive too.

Thanks ya'll

I found a thing called the zigview which can trigger your camera with motion, but I think it's a day time only thing.
