So I am looking at getting a trail camara, what I want is a leaf river, but I just cant afford almost $400. So now I am lloking at the Cuddeback Capture. Does anyone on here us these, are the good? And is says delay is as slow as 30 seconds.. is that good? Sorry if I am asking stupid questions, I don't know much about these trail camaras.
Thanks

I believe the 30 seconds is not the delay time? It is the recovery time. (The time it takes to process the information after it takes a picture untill the camera is able to take another picture.) It use to be one minute. Althou trail cameras are able to take pictures in a burst mode.(2 or 3 pictures one right after another)

Here is a site for Trail Camera reveiws. Do some reading here and then decide.

That too looks awsome, man, can't decide, I will have todo some research. How do you like Moultrie? How long does the battery last for you?
Thanks Again

Okay, that makes more sence, thanks. Does that mean after each pic, it has to wait 30 seconds for it to process before it can take the next pic?

Yes. The I40 is a good camera but it has a slow trigger speed. You need to use bait in front of the camera to hold the animal while it takes a picture.(3 seconds)Trigger speed is the amount of time it take for the camera to wake up from sleep mode until it takes a picture. So the camera senses motion wakes up and then takes a picture. The Cuddeback has a 1/2 second trigger speed. So you won't miss an animal that walks by.

What would you suggest slider? Get the Cuddeback for $200 or the Moultrie for $164?

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #7 on:** June 10, 2009, 08:42:49 AM »

well i have no arguments... but we have had our camera out for 3 weeks and not had to change the battery.
we have caught all of our animals in the act and the trigger speed has not been a problem for us.
for the money you cant go wrong with it.
look at some of my trail cam postings and you will see.

use a capture and am real happy with the speed. It is a lot better then my d40.

here is a bear just passing through.

here is a coyote coming in.

I40 hands down for the money, i put batterys in mine last year in may and it hung continously till dec with no batt change

I just bought 2 of these from a guy on EBay that I have bought 3 other game cameras from him paid $102 and $107 for these Stealth Cam I430IR Infrared Digital and for that price you get a 1GB SD card and 6 batteries

I repeat the earlier question: "What would you suggest? Get the Cuddeback for $200 or the Moultrie for $164? "

I've been looking at both. It appears that the primary difference is trigger speed: how important is that? Also, the Moultrie has an IR flash while the Capture does not. How important is that?

Thanks for all the input.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2009, 08:39:09 AM »

I-40

Craig · « **Reply #15 on:** June 11, 2009, 08:45:37 AM »

Capture.

Way faster. You can get the IR capture for about $20 more then the regular capture.

Slider · « **Reply #16 on:** June 11, 2009, 08:55:11 AM »

I would rate trigger speed/picture qulity #1
And then battery life #2

Bob33 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2009, 09:22:29 AM »

I should add that picture quality is not as important to me as capturing an image. I want to know if a deer or elk walked by; I don't need to know to the exact inch how large it is.

All the Cuddleback IR models that I can see online are around $250: $50 more, not $20 more.

Is IR really worth $30?

just got the two pack of wildlive extreme 2.0 from cabelas for 130 and they are exactly what i paid for. very slow trigger speed... you get what you pay for but they might get stolen anyways...
