Ive toyed with the thought of making a homebrew but I really dont like to take time out of my outdoors time to get into all that. I guess if money is an issue then id do it. But for now my NT Cuddeback works flawlessly. I had a NT Deer Cam from them that still works flawlessly after 6 years and about 100 rolls of film. So I guess Ill stick with products from Non Typical.
