    I need more than a light detector.

    No, the helmet cam does not have a mechanical switch, just a 9vdc plug. All these plugs, batteries, camcorder, and connections are in a waterproof case in my backpak. That's why I can't get to them easily. As I said before, if I cut the power to both, I have to open the case and restart the...

    OK, I'm back on line so if anyone has a light detector circuit that drives a FET or power transistor I'd like to see it. Thanks!

    Not sure how permanent your solution needs to be but there's prototype boards.

    You can't just mechanically cut the power to both or else you have to open the case and restart the camcorder for the LANC remote to take over. Here is someone else's solution to the problem. Only drawback is you can't use an external mic anymore. Automatic remote ON/OFF using the MIC jack...

    Anything that can handle that kind of current would do fine. Do you have any sample schematics?

    Yes, both are running of an external 12v battery. I'm controling the camera from an LANC waterproof remote so I can't really cut the power easily.

    I need more than a light detector.

    Hi, I have been looking for a light detector circuit that can drive a MOSFET or something with more power. Most circuits I see can only drive a small amount of current like an LED. The goal of this circuit is kind of a video camera hack. I have a helmet cam hooked to my camcorder. I need...
