Primos Truth Cam 35

Bean- if you're going to check your cameras once a month, I don't think you need to worry about battery life too much.

My priomo's 35 cams take 10,000+ pics on a set of bats, I love them

I have been waiting 5 years for this elk tag. I'm not just going to scout for 4 days and call it good. I am going to shoot for a least 14 days in field scouting before the season opens. So yes I will be out there at least once a month! Granted that July and August will be more productive days, but should I get to hanging these cams in the next few weeks?

First I gotta find out which unit I drew 

[jackelope]

I would if you can or are going to be out there, although I think right now would just be for the fun of it. I don't think you need to rush out there.

I would start using the cameras right away. Just to test them and that way if there's a problem you can hopefully return it to the store. Also try to figure out which one you prefer, and you might pick up a couple more. You'll probably find that two isn't nearly enough.

Fingering the newd cameras tonight. It says in the instruction booklet to insert a card up to 32 GB but it says on the unit to insert a card up to 8 gb. What gives? I has 2x 16GB cards and an 8 gig on the way in the mail.

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.

This is why Bearpaw's forum is so useful to me.

Yes indeed. Find something you're good at and share the knowledge on here.

Well I haven't downloaded the cards yet but from watching the red LEDs light up I have some initial comparisons. Idk whether it's fair to most whether these two should be compared, but since they cost me the same I think it's fair to compare. 

I set both to 10 second delay. I paced off 5, 10, 15, and 20 yard intervals. This is with my step, which is about one yard, and not with an LRF. (edit: yes, they were set up on the same tree facing the same direction, which enabled a good comparison between the two).

The Browning seemed to wake up from sleep and fire off photos markedly quicker than the Primos. By the time the Primos LEDs lit up, the browning was almost ready for its second volley of shots. The Primos didn't even light up until I was past the zenith of the field of view. This was consistently the case at 5,10,&15 yards.  One noteworthy exception was at 20 yards where the Primos was able to eek out a few shots while the Browning  was snoozing.

Oddly enough, the opposite was the case for video. The Primos consistently woke up and lit up faster than the browning.

Now onto image quality....
