CAMERA TRAP
One way to photograph animals
that typically avoid humans is to
employ a camera trap near animal
trails and water sources. Hähnel’s
Captur Module - Pro is a versatile
solution for wildlife photography
that can be used as a wireless
remote shutter release from up to
100 meters, has built-in light, sound
and motion sensors, and also
includes the Module – IR that can
be mounted to a tree, for example,
creating an invisible beam that,
when crossed, will trigger your cam-
era’s shutter. Estimated street price:
$99. Contact: Hähnel (RTS, Inc.),
