After a long period with continuous problems with condensation inside the metal housing, I decided to make a new housing. This time I made it of plastic, since I suspected the old metal housing being the main reason why there was so much condensation. And indeed, the inside of the housing stayed bone dry for two months during some really wet weeks. I also changed the camera from a D80 to a D700, to get some better quality photos.
But there was definitely not much animal activity going on, or maybe it might be that the paint on the housing still smells a bit too much and scares the animals away. So I only got the back of a roe deer, and nothing more.
The new set-up.
