A interesting solution (if you have this problem) (1 Viewer)

Hello !

I was :bounce: happy to discover that my new digital video camera has a i/r remote control.
I was :C angry to find out that the receptor was only on the front of the camera. I want to set up my camera and tripod to spy on several suet feeders I have hanging outside my door.
I work in a hospital so I went to my dentist friend/birder "Dr. Yankem" (just a joke) and asked for a disposible little mirror on a shaft they use to look at your teeth. I plan to fasten the sheft with a rubber band to my tripod mounted camera so when I tap the record button on the remote from a distance behind my camera the angled mirror will deflect the beam to the sensor in the front of the camera.

Now is that a great idea :clap:

Thank you,

Better find out if it works first, be embarrassing if it doesn't, infra red has different properties to ordinary light.
Good luck with it, I just love novel ideas.
