The BeetleCam is a remote controlled buggy with a DSLR camera mounted on top to film and photograph wildlife at very close range.[1] Created by Will Burrard-Lucas and his brother, Matt, its first shots were released in 2010 in a series called "The Adventures of BeetleCam."[2] It filmed African wildlife in the Ruaha and Katavi National Parks in Tanzania — creating amazing pictures and videos of elephants, African buffalo and lions. One of their cameras was destroyed in an encounter with a lion.[3]

They came back in 2011 with two improved BeetleCams, focusing on lions.[4] During this project they created a set of remarkable pictures featuring feeding lions and playful cubs. This series was first released in 2012 in an article called "BeetleCam vs the Lions of the Masai Mara".[5] BeetleCam Mark II used a Canon EOS 1Ds Mk III.[6]
