Camera Trap Fail in the Mara North
This video shows my thought process and setting up of my DSLR camera trap in the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya. It was deployed in a number of different locations during my month long stint in the country, due to one very pesky animal.....The Vervet Monkey!
The Mara North Conservancy is one of my favourite places for photography, period! For camera trap photography it also has so much to offer!
We are Panthera Photo Safaris, based in South Africa.

Haha not sure if I loved them :D
I thought the squirrels here in the UK were a pest for interfering with my camera trap, but those monkeys are on another level.😲 Thanks for taking us along Lance. You got some great images. 👍

Thank you so much!
I'd call that a success. You got some good shots and learned some things. Maybe next time you can paint the red handles on the sensor mounts. I painted my camera box and light sand brown since a lot of things here are that color. Test and adjust is what we do in camera trapping. In fact I'm on my way up this morning to adjust the lighting on my camera trap 🙂

Ohhh good luck with the lights! I am definitely painting those handles next time! Possibly swapping them out for something slightly sturdier also. I'm happy with the images I got, just unhappy after returning on multiple occasions to find fresh tracks and no images due to monkeys :D
