Shooting African Wildlife with a RC DSLR

  • Michael Zhang · Aug 24, 2011
 

Last year we featured the work of Matthew and William Burrard-Lucas, two brothers who mounted their Canon DSLR to a remote-controlled car to shoot close-up photographs of dangerous African animals. The behind-the-scenes video above was just published yesterday, and shows the RC DSLR being driven up to different animals, all of which are clearly thinking, “what the heck is this thing”? They should offer these “BeetleCams” for sale. I want one.

    Not really a new idea though, is it?

    Hey guys, for everyone interested, I’ve been building this stuff for years, but mostly with highend firewire-cams (robotics). If you can afford the bucks I will be happy to build a remote controlled driving base with pan/tilt and trigger for you camera, and every other feature you can think of :)
