Blog About Remote Controlled Buggy wildlife shots

drocpsu · 20th of April 2010 (Tue)

I saw a link to this blog post on Engadget or wired and thought it was pretty cool. A couple guys built a remote controlled cart and mounted a 400D to it. then they went to Africa and drove it around the grasslands (in a game reserve or something, I assume) and snapped off some great wildlife photos. Pretty ingenious idea, if you ask me.

There's some cool pictures in here (theres a link at the end of the article to more photos):

That's pretty cool! I believe I see a red "L" on that lens, though. A wee bit more than I would be willing to invest in such a project...
