i am trying without any success to find something to set up some photo beam traps to catch birds leaving a nest or a badger leaving a sett....etc.
I have canon kit so would like to find something compatible.
Thanks
Chris

Not sure if you want to build one or buy one.. Results from a quick search for --"shutter trigger, light"
Here are some schematics and such---

Hi again Chris, I purchased mine from a company in the UK called Kennet and has various sensitivity settings and several plug in variations. Will see if I can locate paperwork tomorrow for further info, may a google will turn them up if still trading (some years since I purchased mine)

Thanks everyone for the info. I have to admit to being a bit nervous about building something, however, i have a limited budget of £250 so that maybe the only answer.
Stewart i would really appreciate some info and input from you about the onje you have .
Thanks again
Chris
