Not a "camera trap" in the true sense of the word but thought I'd share it with you guys anyways. After almost a week of trying I was finally able to capture some elephants drinking at one of the windpumps using my GoPro. I made use of my head strap mount attached to a brick. After placing my setup right at the pump's outlet I set the GoPro to shoot at a 5 second interval and then waited for the elephants to arrive. This was the outcome...

Awesome NeilV, great job. You must have been stoked to find the camera in one piece

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Bailey, glad you enjoyed it. I must say, I did consider the fact that they might destroy the camera and I honestly just worried about the SD card. As long as I got some decent shots I thought it was worth the risk.

Thanks Offshore. I see the video already has 500 views after just 4 days. Not exactly what I would call a viral video but I'm quite chuffed.

We need Rain and we need it now.

That veldt is looking poorly. Hope you get some relief soon

Hell Offshore
What area is that?
Thought the WC had lots of rain
We were also looking pretty bad in the EC until last 2 weeks
and then a fantastic 100 mm
Looking good here now

Frankmac I really hope so. We normally get our first Rain on President Paul Krugers Birthday, the 10th of October.

Lakey, the Farm is in Limpopo between Pietersburg and Tzaneen in the Wolkberg , however in Oudtshoorn we had very little so far, less than 100 mm this Season.
