Smaller trail camera
I'm building a few small game cameras for those locations around ponds and streams to hide from the smaller animals. The small size makes it easier to carry 8 or 9 with me most of the time.
The case is a Pelican 1010...camera is a Sony P41 and the sensor board is the new Simple Sniper. I used a 9 volt battery for the sensor board and had to make a small snorkel on the back to fit the 9 volt. I had 2 small coin cell batteries in it but switched so all my cameras would take the same batteries.
Here's a photo of the side showing the snorkel, I ground out some on the inside of the snorkel for the battery corners to fit and then fitted it and gooped everthing to weather seal.

Can you post a photo showing the snorkel? What did you use to enclose the battery? Any problems making it waterproof?
Beautiful job. There is something to be said for small trail cams.
Cliff, just realized that little camera would fit down a mountain beaver burrow, and you wouldn't have to contend with nosy camera lickers like elk! (I'm thinking of your excursion to Mt St Helens a couple summers ago).
