Hi John, this morning it was a pleasant surprise to find your videos on youtube, I'm an Italian camera trapper and I really liked what I saw. Truly spectacular images. A warm greeting. Tommaso Nuti
great stuff am struggling to set mine up right as am getting ghosts and shadows cant work out what's causing it read all the manuals but just cant get the wee clocks in the right spot
Thanks Alan, If you are getting ghosting it sounds like it is more to do with your shutter speed being a little slow rather than your PIR sensor settings. Try this video for a little more detail on how to set up you PIR sensor: th-cam.com/video/FMeyxnGpKxw/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps.
@@JohnFormstone hi John it only happens late evening when am photographing the foxes just before dark as I go out about 5pm to set up for the foxes then carry on to do the badgers in dark my setting would normally be aperture priority with a 800 iso and f10 so the camera picks the shutter speed if do Manuel its fine but means I have to mess about again for setting a.p for badgers and I use a nikon 3300
Yes, Unfortunately I had all my equipment stolen a year ago. If i can I have my camera housing padlocked with a steel cable around a nearby tree and I always try to camouflague all my equipment as best as i can, but it is always a risk and limits you as to where you can set your gear up.
Hi Elizabeth, Good question. It can be a problem on occasion and usually happens around daybreak when there is usually a sharp temperature change. I am presently trying out a product intended for car windscreens to try and eliminate it. Hopefully I will let you know soon if it is successful.

Brilliant simple 🤘
Thanks Henry. 👍
Did the sensor modification really work ?
It works very well and I use it often.
Hi John, have your camera traps ever been stolen or tampered with? How do you prevent thefts?
Yes, Unfortunately I had all my equipment stolen a year ago. If i can I have my camera housing padlocked with a steel cable around a nearby tree and I always try to camouflague all my equipment as best as i can, but it is always a risk and limits you as to where you can set your gear up.
Hi John , don't you have problems with water drops due to the cold at night on the uv filter?
