Hi Marcus,

I wanted to follow up on my original email.   I was able to get your
gphoto2 to operate on the Nikon Key mission 170, so you can probably add
this action camera to your list. The Capture feature worked flawlessly.  By
contrast the Key Mission 360 (currently on your list) did not work very
well,  perhaps this is due to the dual cameras.  As part of our bird
conservation efforts (with San Diego Zoo) we need to also capture a 10
second video of the birds  on our smart feeder.

How feasible would it be to add this capability?  Is this a limitation of
the physical camera hardware, or is there an option to update software to
add this capability.

We would love to collaborate with you  on this effort if feasible.

We plan to deploy our system into the jungle in Mid November.

Thanks for your consideration
