In this video, a GoPro Hero camera and a small flashlight are attached to a piece of 1 inch PVC pipe to create a "burrowcam". I assembled the Burrowcam device to check on the well being of one of the gopher tortoises that call my ten acres home here in rural North Florida.
A nearby burrow had been dug out and enlarged by something and a small gopher was found dead nearby, so I wanted to check on the well being of a big gopher who lived nearby in another burrow. The burrowcam was only in the burrow for a few moments. With no viewfinder, I don't know what the camera is seeing until I get back to the computer, but as you can see, the gopher in this burrow was just fine. I'm not sure what animal dug up and enlarged the other burrow, but we do have lots of coyotes in the area.
As for the burrowcam, I plan to use it as a culvert cam, creekcam, etc.
