I had nothing much to do during the week, so I thought I'd modify a toy I found at a department store to help counter a problem I have in getting close to the birds in Olango Bird Sanctuary. I came up with this Remote-controlled platform with a swivel head. Theoretically, I should be able to maneuver this contraption quite near the birds and just swivel the camera or position the whole body for the shot I want. Live TTL visual feedback is supplied via the "HERO" Live-view attachment, as well as sound and remote shutter triggering:  Now, who's planning to go to Olango? :-) |

Thanks guys! I sure hope this thing works as well in the field as during my trials at the village. :-)
Heheheh, there's a coming long week-end - maybe Osawa will be game enough to go back there again! Hahaha.

NOt just the lights - the sounds too! It's got a horn, a laser turret sound, and a missile rack with lights in front of it. Hahaha.
