posted on 15/05/2012

Miniature camera specialists SeeSense have supplied a Toshiba IK-HR1S high definition camera system to allow natural history documentary makers to record the early development of a newborn Joey within its mother kangaroo's pouch. A specially modified light source was also provided in order to illuminate the tight and dark confines of a Red Kangaroo’s pouch. The slim profile circular LED pad produces a dimmable, true daylight colour temperature source of soft, even illumination. The Rosco 75mm diameter circular light source was drilled centrally so that the camera lens could protrude through, accurate machining ensuring that it was a tight fit on the lens and would not work loose when inserted into the pouch.

It was only located in the pouch for short periods of time so as not to disturb the animals. SeeSee... [more]
