A photographer has come up with a novel way to protect his lens when using a remote camera to capture rocket launches.
Step forward Michael Baylor who covers space launches at the Vandenberg Space Force Base and built a custom automatic lens cap., the design is very simple, consisting of a large cap that actuates to cover the camera lens when photos aren’t being taken.
The automatic cap, controlled by a large servo, will protect the lens until the moment of launch. Not only that, it will cover the lens when the rocket leaves the shot to protect it from the dust and debris that is kicked up.“There is a tiny bit of condensation on the lens, but my other camera at this spot with multiple hand warmers is way worse. Lens cap camera did not have any heaters or warmers.
