I bought three of The Primos 02 from Natchez. I have them set to video on the lower setting. Trigger speed on video seems to be sufficient as I have not had any empty frames yet. The infrared seems to really draw a lot of attention from the coyotes and raccoon that I've caught on film. The Primos 02 has a bright red glow to them and it does wash out the frame when they first fire up. When I'm looking at the IR illuminators the red glow is visibly much brighter than my Bushnell cameras.
In this video, the coyote is likely walking toward the camera when it triggers. Camera is set waist high so the IR light is right in his face. You can see he is stopped, looking at the camera, then lays his ears back and trots away. I have similar video with raccoons and other coyotes traveling the other direction.
View My Video I also have video from a Bushnell Aggressor where an elk is licking the camera. The Aggressor Red Glow has a much softer glow than the Primos 02. I prefer the Bushnells because I can set them up to take a series of photos then go to video. However, they are twice the money. With the Bushnells, I still get animals looking at them but it is at a much lower rate of the IR photos.
For the price (I'm at $85/ea), I think they were a good buy. They take good daytime pictures, have a good trigger speed and they are easy to set up. The worst thing I can say about them is that the IR diodes glow very bright. If a thief walks by at night, he will see it.
I have lock boxes and cables for them and I'll be using them in some places that they may find a new owner.
