Thanks for the update and all the work on that @hikinghack ! It’s great to see a second deployment. Thanks also for the feedback. I hope that this initial version can prove out the stereoscopic method and justify creating a v2 with all the feedback listed here.
I have thought about the fact that the camera trap cannot be opened with the shim and zip ties in place. A solution has not presented itself yet, but we will figure something out if this method is validated.
Second deployment has some good feedback. Primarily that the stereo mount locks in moisture against the camera lens.
So while the lenses dry after big rains fine, when i took the mount off, the lens was fully fogged over
The latest footage after a week of deployment unfortunatley didn’t catch any ocelots, but did get a blurry video of a peccary

Would you say that sealing the stereoscope, or adding venting, would be better to combat this issue? Is there a technique that would normally be employed in the jungle?
I think maybe if it had a brim over the whole trap it would help. Lots of water went straight behind the stereoscope to the lens area including some mud and sometimes insects
