No sorry I dont. I sell them to a few friends and family and coworkers pretty much at what they cost me to build. Mainly because if something happens then I have just have them bring it over to check it out instead of having someone 3 states over mad cause theirs quit working and paying shipping both ways and parts would get expensive .

Heres 2 that have a lot of info.

Heres 1 that describes some of the cameras. Hasnt been updated in a while so there are quite a few new ones you can hack as well.

You can also go to archerytalk.com and go to the camera section and there are some people on there that build them as well. Its a really fun hobby and you cant beat the pic quality. Another big plus is if 1 breaks down I can usually fix it or replace the part myself. I get excellent customer service like that

Its worse than crack lol. I got into building them around 2003 maybe a little sooner when the D380's were popular. I had 18 at one time! It got to be to much of a problem keeping up with them so I'm down to 6 now. I actually had "lost" one and didnt even know it. Walked up on it during spring turkey season the next year lol

Are these things as reliable as store bought ones? Or do you spend as much time fixing as your do making them? I wouldn't mind trying to make some for fun.

In my opinion they are more reliable. I've built several over the years and out of all of those only had 2 cameras quit working. In both instances it was the CCD that went bad. There was actually a recall on 1 but I never sent it in caused I had hacked it but know of others that did and they fixed them. Bought 2 more cameras off ebay and was back in business. I have never had board fail me yet.

Its really simple. Theres a few cameras that are hard to hack but overall most are easy. After you get by the intimidating factor on the first one or two you can fly through the rest.
