Couple New Home Brew Builds

Post by MuleyMadness » Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:01 am

Just finished building these 2 new HOME BREW's.

These are going to end of being my new favorites, these things are tiny at only 4" in height and 5" width.

Can't wait to get them set up in the field. May end up trying to do some cheap camp job on them also?

Looks pretty good.

Can't wait to see the pictures.

One question. While setting them up how do you know where the target area is at?
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.

Parts List/Cost:

Pelican 1010 Case - $10.00
SSII Control Board - 49.95
Battery for SSII - $5.00
AR Glass - $4.00
Foam $2.00 -
Servo Wires Needed - $6.00
Sony S600 Used Camera - $50
4 Rechargeable Batteries/Charger - $20.00
(camera only needs 2 of them)
2 GB Memory Card - $8.00

Total Cost: Around $155.00 Dollars (does not include shipping)

* Sometimes you can find the used camera for cheaper than 50 bucks, but I don't really like paying more than that.
* These are cheaper than the cams I use to build, more compact, and take just a good as pictures, and last just as long in the field.
* Hope to have some pics for you guys at the end of the summer

Where do you get the plastic cover thing that covers the outsdie of the SSII Control Board also how long do you get in the field with this set up?
