You got me thinking Jim. If I remember correctly my first trail camera was made by Trail Timer. I did a search on the internet and couldn't find a picture of it.

It was a platform that I put a 35mm camera on with another platform resting on top of the camera. A plunger button would push down the button on the camera to take a picture. I would duct tape the sides to try and keep the weather from the camera. It was quite the "rig job."

I have to see if its still laying around and take a picture of it. It worked awful and was a waste of money....but at the time it was the way to go.
