Summer waits for no man....so it's time for me to embark on my voyage of camera modification
My 1100D seems to give me pretty clean subs at ambient temps of 5 or less, so I think for v1 I'm going to attempt that range and see if I can avoid creating a condensation issue.
One design thought I've got bouncing around is that the rear screen is essentially redundant these days as the camera is always tethered to my laptop, so is there any sensing logic in the camera that makes it non-functional if the screen isn't there?
What I'm thinking is that if I remove the screen then a large hole suddenly appears in the back of the camera, and I can get away with a smaller cold finger, just a U-shape from the sensor and bending where necessary to present itself at the screen-free aperture at the rear. The TEC and heatsink/fan can then be attached there.
Any obvious flaws with this idea?
