[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4897212, member: 1409"] Necessity was the Mother of Invention for "Homebrewing". Years ago, the Snapshot Sniper control was the cat's meow, and was far superior to commercially available "trail cams" costing two to five times more each than setting up a homebrew. Plus, the image quality of the homebrews greatly exceeded the "store-bought" trail cams coming out in the early 2000's. My first homebrews were 35mm film cameras, then later the then new digital Sony p41's. Exactly, and today, generally speaking, you can just buy something comparable or better for less money, now including cellular trail cams. One development that hurt "home-brewing" was when the true black flash trail cams came on to the scene. My homebrews all used full bright flash (color images at night) which had more tendency to "spook" deer. There was a poster on here named "Fireman Jim" who was making homebrews and selling them. I don't know if he still is, but he would be a great resource, since he was fairly recently still building them. [/QUOTE]
