What camera housing unit are you using?

[@FWCResearch]

Hello, We have used both Blue Robotics 3” housings and have had some custom housings designed for us. The camera is a raspberry pi camera. TrapCam is the brain-child of Dr. Jack Butler adventureswithamarinescientist.com who has a repository to help guide others as to how to build them.
