Last year a working Nikon DSLR costume wowed us, but with the continued rise of smartphone photography, who wants to wear a clunky dedicated camera this Halloween? Not Eric Micotto, who totally one-ups last year’s effort with a working Instagram camera getup.
The heart of the costume is a Nikon D800 with an Eye-Fi SD card inside transferring photos to an iPad serving as the display on the back. But since the D800 isn’t fully compatible with the Eye-Fi’s direct transfer mode, a portable wireless router was also added to the mix to facilitiate the exchange. Oddly enough it doesn’t seem as if the costume uploads photos to an Instagram account, which leaves the door wide open for someone to come along and one-up this one too.

When you say “costume to beat”, do you mean with scaffold poles?
The image you paint is one of true beauty.
This makes him look like an even gayer version of Enrique Iglesias.
To a hipster that is a huge compliment.
If I see him on te night I would just think “Ooo, free iPad!”
He turns around, and it’s “Ooo, free DSLR, yoink!”
Not that I would advocate mugging a hipster of course but just look at him, he can probably chase you 10 metres before his vegan powers fail him.
I may have started drinking early…
