It's about $210.00, kind of depends on how cheap you get the camera from Ebay.

Thanks Brett, I'm gonna have to get em one of those kits. I wish they had one for my Sony P52 that I dont use anymore, but I guess I'll have to buy a camera too. Oh well. Maybe i'll have one done for next spring.

This manual is also necessary and helpful.

Brett

Stuff you will need.

1. Small gauge soldering iron (heat control is best) it not it's fine though. (I bought the smallest tips/one I could find from Radio Shack
2. 30 gauge wire (buy from Radio Shack)
3. Marine Goop or Loctite glue
4. Very small phillips screwdriver for screws on camera
5. Electrical tape
6. Exacto knife/razor blade.
7. Solder of course for the soldering iron, smallest you can find.
8. Tooth pics (help for cleaning off excess glue)

That's about all I can think of at the moment, but I may have missed something.

Thanks a ton; that is awesome, the proof is in the pudding in catching such action shots from your other post like this one, that ain't happening with most cameras out there at double the cost; the very first pic: http://www.muleymadness.com/forum/viewt ... =17&t=6478
