Yep, Saw a program where they tested salties bite strength. About 1500 lbs from memory. There is no way I want one nibbling on me in the dark, or the light for that matter.

With setting up the mount on a beach in the dark has this problem. If set up with mount, deep cycle battery etc. you can hardly leave it there, but hanging around in the dark on a beach up there has a real element of risk. Perhaps having a fair crowd there would be the greatest protection, the lions would probably take one of the fatter wildebeest.

I assume a polar alignment using a compass setting and latitude angle will be sufficient for the exposure times involved.
