Rugged RPi Camera case

I've been working on a mount and a fairly rugged case for my RPi camera recently, some photos here

https://picasaweb.google.com/selsinork/RPiCamera

The end goal being to do some timelapse and video where the camera would need to be outside in a rather hostile environment

This was the result from earlier today

the little camera did well

Edit: does the embedded video work ? I don't see it, so here's the link http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1255yy_sandiefield-road-demolition_webcam

Wow, what a test subject!

I too had to use the dailymotion link, as the embedding here doesn't work for me either.

Was it deliberately shot with the camera on its side? I watched it with the sky on the left of the frame.

Yep, distance vs the field of view of the standard lens meant it was the only way. That's widescreen for you too, I'd probably have got about a third of the block being demolished and most of an empty street the other way. It's also a bit odd.. take a 1920x1080 still image with it and the field of view is different from 1920x1080 video

When I was building the case I gave myself the option to mount the camera either horizontally or vertically anyway, so not a huge problem for other uses

No surprise though that when you look in the camera section of the RPF forum there's lots of people with creative mods to get different / better lenses.

Great video.
The building looks better than half the ones they knocked down in Christchurch, inc a few that they are removing because they don't fit the current plan.

I like your case and mounting, as my project is to shove it up on the skifield, which obviously has all sorts of unpleasant weather,
Luckily its mainly stills we want to send back over wireless.

I do need to add a controller to control the solar and start it up and shut it down at the end of the day.

I thought the trashy mirror photo article was good.

thankfully he doesn't have the same cleavage.

Because they are a photo, he's allowed the portrait mode.....
