hes right its a "chicken catcher" dont ask why its called that but its used by catv and communications. that is the outside piece which the wire lays inside of and there is a wedge that goes inside to "pinch" the wire so it can be pulled tight and hooked onto something using the wire loop.

I'm ordering one of the infrared ones. I'm also debating what to do about the power system. The one I used to have burned through batteries left and right - I assumed it was because of the flash. Wonder if I could "lipo" it up?!?!?

I KNEW you would know! I couldn't remeber what they called em.

someone's been watching my favorite movie lately, man ariel is hotttttt:whip:

lol, figures someone would catch that. I was hoping it would be a private joke between me and myself, and everyone would simply think I was "eccentric". I'd like to say I know that line because I have kids... :oops: :whistle:

Thats where grannys fake hip went! Wonder what she was doing in your back yard? Were you two getting frisky?

The infrared is awesome, great night-time pics without scaring the deer away.

I know my cam burns through batteries a lot too (even without flash), especially in the winter when it's freezing cold. I'm sure lipo could be used but it's a matter of doing it safely and making sure not to drain the cells too far. My cam has a provision for connecting a 12V lead-acid battery (small deep-cycle trolling motor battery was suggested) so I might try that.

Sorry for the off-topic rantings!

Hahaha...thanks for all the ideas guys....reminds me
of why this forum is so great....:) from
brushless to why is my toilet water circling the drain backwards...you will get answers...lol

hey slime...are you positive it's a "chicken catcher" used fr cables???

Yeah, he's right. I knew I had seen one before, then when he posted it triggered the memory. The line men who took down and reinstalled my lines when I cut down a tree used them.

Dude, look above, your cable line is fine. Im telling you its a finger holder, like the chinese finger cuffs for 17th century virgins so the man came back horney and the wife haden't self satisfied. Might be worth something on ebay

was probably catapulted into your yard from a couple of blocks away when an apprentice decided it would be fun to see what happens when you let go.

Thanks again for all of your help! But I just confirmed it IS a "chicken catcher" my cousin works for comcast..lol....well....anyone want a 17th century Chinese finger cuffs/bottle opener/spare hip replacment/dinglehopper/snarblartt..??lmk...I'll pay it forward..hahaha :)

ha, privite joke between me and you eh? lol
