Homebrews are are easy to build if you have any skills with tools. Much smaller cameras when you are done and a fun project too. Give it a shot, you may just like it.

I would have to respectfully disagree. If your only concern is to have a camera hanging in the woods then sure. But if you want multiple photos with amazing clarity then probably not. Effort--Very little, Time--about 6 hours, Cost--about $130, Satisfaction of getting quality photos from something you built--Priceless. :chuckle:

Sure if you want poor pictures then buy that $39 trail cam and see where it gets you.
