Primos Truth Cam 35

[Bean Counter]

Well I'm out of the store $205 later. I picked up the 35, as well as the Browning and a security box. I will keep it unopened and check out some reviews tonight.

Odd morphology of capitalism were now in  when I can post a question to a forum and get more help before I leave the store than I do from the dudes who work there.

Perfect. The best way to find out if a particular camera works for you, is to try it. For $80 I know you'll like the 35 if it works as it's supposed to. No guarantees, just as there never is with anything electronic that is made in China.

I've heard of problems with the lower priced Brownings but I have no experience with them. Chances are if it's not going to work correctly, you'll know that immediately. Try it at home first. If it doesn't work properly or if you just don't like it for whatever reason, take it back to the store.

Personally I love the 35 had one for 3 years until last year it got stolen. Never had 1 problem with it, took really good pictures, and even performed better then my Primos truth X cam. on one set the most pictures i got was 1515 and not one was a bad picture. definitely worth it.

get a rechargeable 6v battery and it will be better in the long run.

You can get a 6v rechargeable for less than $20

Something like this? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rayovac-6V-Rechargeable-Battery/17163374

I take it that won't fit into the camera itself, so it will have to stick out. So I'll need to do the whole yellow, red, and green wire(?) Now instead of stealing the cam they'll be calling in the bomb squad

That might work but this would be better:

So what do you do with this thing, just duct tape it to the tree above the camera or something?

 I have 3 of these cams and love them. Only down side is their bulk. As for the D batteries, no worries. I've had all three over beaver carcasses all winter taking thousands of pictures and haven't changed batteries yet! Like Bobcat said they also have great trigger speed and great video.

OK good to know, thanks. I'm hoping that since I don't live in as extreme of cold environment that the batteries will last longer.

You guys confident in just using  a cable lock? I plan on being at least a mile away from the road and off the beaten path before setting one up. Though I may put one up over a water hole...

I usually dig a hole at the base of the tree to set it in and then cover it with duff, sticks, moss, or whatever is handy. I use the Stealth Cam battery packs though because I picked up five of them on eBay for $20 each (regular price is $55).

Don't forget to bungee the cord to the tree so the elk/bear don't unplug it.

Hey that's clever! So you set it at the base of the tree, like at ground level and angle it up? Do you get a lot of squirrels and chipmunks?

I think you misunderstood. The battery is on the ground, the camera is about 3 feet or more up on the tree.

I replaced the D batts in my 35 last year only 1 time from June to sept...with thousands of pics. Id rather buy 4 D for this cam then 12 dbl A batts in some of my other cams!

[bobcat]

Yep, the battery life really is pretty decent. If you get two months out of the 4 D batteries, that's only $3.00 per month that it costs to run that thing. Not bad. I only use the externals sometimes because I set up over bait, and often it's during cold weather, plus like I said, I got the external batteries dirt cheap. l'm not sure I'd specifically go out and buy them for this particular camera.

My lights out cam runs on 12 dbl A batts and they really dont last like you would think
