For all the guys that said "Homebrews can not do BLACK FLASH!!" this one is for you. I have now done it. This unit is built with a DXG-567 Video camera with a BB224 lens mod done. It is IR of course. It has 24 10mm 940nm IR LED's for the LED Array. At 12" inches or less you can barely see a faint purple glow. Out past 12" inches you can see NOTHING!!! No purple low glow what so ever!! A TRUE BLACK FLASH!!! I owe a HUGE thank you to my close friend Ron Davis (EgbertDavis) over at Hag'sHouse for telling me about these LED's and helping me figure out a way to make them work. It has the Amplified Sound everyone has come to love in my units with the external microphone. Has a Big Foot video control board which has video lengths of 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 minute, and 3 minutes. Also has a ton of delay settings and a PIR sensitivity adjustment as well. It is paired with a HPWA Fresnel to insure you never miss a animal. I have done the 3D camo on this one. The test video was done last night. Sorry my big mug is in it. I need to hire me a super model for these test shots. Well check out the video and tell me what you think....The unit is headed to Bryan BSK for some non-biased testing and I am sure he will tell you guys what he thinks. Bad or good. Thanks...Jim

WOW Jim that is what we've been waiting for!

Okay I know the 2 AAA operates the board, the two C cells to the left would be external for the camera... Does the 8 C cells operate the Black LEDS? I know this may be early to ask, but how long would the 8 C Cells last in the setup?

I am asking because I have been waiting to get an audio 567 camera set up and have been waiting forever for a TRUE blackflash
camera.

VERY NICE WORK Jim! Hope that booger takes off good for you!
 
Just working it out on paper..Should get 10 hours of video on the 8 c cells. The 2 c cells are for camera external power and with Eneloops inside the camera itself those will last 6 months. The 8 c's run the Black LED's and the pre-amplifier for the microphone.
 
Looks amazing Jim. Can't wait to try it.

In your test video, can you tell me how far the bush in the center background is from the camera?

"Wow" is all I have to say...

Can't wait to get that unit in my hands. I can't believe you can see so well and hear your voice so clearly at that distance.
 
Can you make a camera with black that will take and hold several thousand pic and run for 3 to 4 months. with gas as high as it is don't get to go to my farm in Ohio very often
 
I can do video in black flash but no still pics yet. I can do a still pic with 850nm IR material. Almost a black flash but not hardly there....
