[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 828523, member: 50197"] Thanks for the link. I watched a couple of the videos. The English subtitles on one looked more like a random word generator than anything else. The others weren't great, but good enough to understand what was going on. I enjoy do it yourself projects that require some ingenuity to pull them off, but unfortunately, electronics are not in my wheel house. Back in the early 2000s I needed to take some underwater video of a 4,000 year old canoe a dive buddy and I discovered while diving a local river. I didn't have the money for a commercial rig, so I purchased the smallest camcorder I could afford and made a waterproof housing for it. The first couple iterations leaked like a sieve, but with some perseverance, I managed a working model that allowed me to get the footage I needed. I had a great time figuring everything out and manufacturing it with common tools and materials. Of course, today I could go down to Best Buy and purchase a hi definition Gopro for a few hundred dollars that fits in the palm of your hand. My rig was large and cumbersome, but it worked. I suppose I will have to settle for the prefocus, spray and pray method for bees in flight. I managed to get this one a couple months ago. This was pretty much just dumb luck as I was in the process of taking a shot of this hibiscus flower when a bee showed up. I was far enough back and using a small enough aperture to get him in focus.
