This post shows the rig that I built. An example photo taken with the setup is shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.pmstudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S20_2290r1-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For this I used an old Canon S100 compact camera &#8211; this was quite an advanced compact camera at the time. What is not well known is that many Canon compact cameras can have the firmware (this is the software that both controls the camera and determines what features it has) updated in a non-permanent manner to give it additional functions. For more information, including those cameras that can be modified see the CHDK web page here: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/chdk.fandom.com\/wiki\/CHDK\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/chdk.fandom.com\/wiki\/CHDK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the steps taken were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Download, install and try out the CHDK software<\/li><li>Create a power supply from a rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery and a voltage regulator with appropriate leads<\/li><li>Check the power supply works OK with the camera<\/li><li> Build weather resistant cases from plastic food containers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: I am not a DIY craftsman, more of a bodger that can create something that works for me but is not particularly elegant. Here are the photos of the final rig:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"
