I think it's a pretty cool idea. I wonder what untouched raws looked like before touching up

that's cute - I prefer this approach to the other African wildlife photographer who was submerged in fetid parasite ridden waters for 3 hours a day.

cool idea. Almost looks like a remote control tank. I can imagine going around with this downtown and having pictures of curious observers looking into the lens. Maybe even attaching a fish-eye lens onto it :D

Very cool. I think I'd go with a less expensive camera though.

Very eye openning post. Thanks for sharing.
Now if I only can buy my own minature lunar rover. I hope that prat that sat in the cesspool of swamp bacteria sees this before he injures himself further. Somebody e-mail this to his spouse.

Maybe Nikon/Canon can come up with a fake mouse camera housing to scare off those nasty pachyderms.

Aaah, the beetle cam is rather cute. I imagine I'll see a Hello Kitty version selling on an inflight SkyMall magazine shortly.

I can definitely see a use of this in the urban jungle for candid street shots...... hmmm wonder how long would that last before getting snatched. Better put a GPS homing device on it for easy location. :D

I'm thinking maybe some girl teased his lack of courage and manliness so he decided to be submerged in fetid parasite ridden waters for 3 hours a day in the hopes that girls will sleep with him.

I don't think any girl would want to sleep with a man who was submerged in fetid parasite ridden waters for 3 hours a day and peed blood.
