Neighbor Larry built a GoPro camera trap for me, and I finally set it in the woods.
My goal? Color videos at the water hole at night.
The undertaking has been a challenge.
First, you need sufficient power to charge the power-hungry GoPro Hero2 and external LED arrays.
Wireless lights would be ideal, but we're not there yet. So, after driving two t-posts into cracks in the bedrock, which happens to be volcanic capstone, I slipped on the pipe extenders, and wired the two arrays at a height of 6+ feet to the camera.
The rig looks like hell, and I knew it would be a standing invitation even to the dumbest bear in the woods.

Of course the inevitable happened.
A blond pole dancer showed up, and her provocative performance disabled the lights.
You've seen her before, if you've visited Camera Trap Codger in the past.
This 2-year female is almost certainly one of the two tiny cubs in the YouTube videos I posted in the spring and summer of 2013.
I think you'll agree, she's a foxy pole dancer.
