I didn't order any after seeing some reviews on them. I think they're $20 for a reason.
Look at the 2 reviews here. Is it not the same camera?
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/895288/wildgame-innovations-razor-6-x-infrared-game-camera-6-megapixel-swirl-camo

 I aint goin to put all the gas, time and effort into putting up a pos camera and come back later to find crappy pics or it doesn't work.  :twocents:

Hope they work out great!

I finally got one of these cameras set up last weekend. I'm definitely happy with it considering it was only $19.99. I didn't get that many pictures yet, but did get a few. The problem was the darn elk moved it at some point so it was no longer pointed at the trail. Mostly what I got were close ups. The regular daytime pictures in color look pretty decent. I'll post a few. The first one is me walking away after I got it set up. The next picture of the elk is the only one I got before the camera was moved. I'll try to check it again Sunday evening and hopefully I'll get some better pictures then. I may decide to move it to a different tree if I can find one that will work where they're less likely to rub up against the camera, as elk always seem to like to do.

I wouldn't be surprised to have a bear chew on my camera. I had one camera out there a couple years ago that a bear tried to pull off the tree. It wasn't able to break the strap so the camera hung on, but the hinges were broken, or at least bent to where the camera was no longer waterproof. Luckily it was a Tasco that i had only paid $40 for

SkyBuster- was that your camera?
Title: Re: MIDWAY USA GAME SALE!!!!!! $19.99
Post by: lamrith on May 19, 2017, 02:59:42 PM
Guys, Get yourselves some of these mounts.  They can screw in if the cam has a camera hotshoe mount on bottom.
Slate River EZ cam mount (https://www.amazon.com/Slate-River-Game-Camera-Mount/dp/B004CR1T5M)

If your cam does not have screw in ability, you can buy a double sided tape plate as well.
EZ Aim and stick adapter (https://slateriverllc.myshopify.com/collections/camera-products/products/ez-aim-stick-on-adapter)

Then get yourself 3-4 climbing steps:
Ameristep Step up tree steps.
 (http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Ameristep-Step-Up-Tree-Step/productDetail/Blind-and-Treestand-Accessories/prod70364/cat100386?ref=google?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shoppingfeeds&utm_term=318451&utm_campaign=GDF&gdffi=956ae87823e94c98adceb63322121bc0&gdfms=E2707991C5F84CE6BF5B5CA6ABF52FE8&gclid=CjwKEAjwr_rIBRDJzq-Z-LC_2HgSJADoL57Hn90aePD3hFR6F1EoLcOCTO2gbre9MCiE-ro9KuQeYxoCUR3w_wcB)
Then climb up the tree a few feet with the steps and then screw the EZ mount in just above your head level (so can still reach and turn on cam and aim it).  Turn it on, climb back down and remove your steps and on to the next spot.

That will get them up in the tree and harder for tampering by 4 or 2 legged varmints...

Yes, I bought 3,  I haven't checked the other 2 since I put them out.  But the chewed on camera seemed to work fine after I put the batteries back in.

But the day photos are better than the bushnells.
Title: Re: MIDWAY USA GAME SALE!!!!!! $19.99
Post by: bobcat on May 24, 2017, 09:09:50 PM
Checked this camera again tonight. Got a few more decent pictures. I also have the Bushnell out that was $24.99 and I'm liking it a bit better. For one thing it does bursts, while the WGI only takes one picture at a time, with a 15 second delay. I have the Bushnell set to take 3 shot, and I believe I have the delay set at 10 seconds. So obviously it just gets more pictures. Still not 100% sure though. I turned the WGI 180 degrees hoping that perhaps the lighting will be better. I noticed this evening that the sun was shining directly into the camera, which isn't good. At least the elk didn't rub up against it and move it this time.

Boss 300 win mag-  I'm beginning to wonder if my camera isn't working at night. So far I have no night pictures. There are a few just around sunset where it was dark enough that it went into IR mode. But nothing during complete darkness, which is odd. Are the elk just not moving at night?

I'll have to put another one of my Busnells next to the WGI and see what happens.
Title: Re: MIDWAY USA GAME SALE!!!!!! $19.99
Post by: lamrith on May 25, 2017, 04:52:42 AM
BOSS - That 3rnd burst can be very useful.  Hunting partner and I had cams out last year and the ones set on 3-round had 3x as many picts, but we also found they had more useful picts.  There were times when something happened fast or camera trigged before something fully visible and only one of the three shots would catch something and it was not the 1st picture but often #2 or 3 catching something following, or such.  Smaller animals, running young animals, etc.  Nice thing is these days the cost of memory cards is low, so just put a 16 or 32gb card in and never worry about storage..

That's great, not a bad video. I've been thinking about switching my WGI cam over to video mode. I know with all the WGI cams I had in the past, I preferred to use them in video mode. I think I'll do that next time I'm out there.

Switched it to video a couple weeks ago and it did good. Only problem was in the very first video, a bull licked the camera and got slobber all over the lens, and all the videos after that are blurry.   :bash:

Primos camera at dicks is $50 on sale and if you have an rewards account they give you $20 off if you spend $100 so $40 a camera is a good price. I have 3 of them just bought 2 more and they are good for the money you get good pictures and they are cheap if you lose it. I had one out for over a year and working good plus battery life is good and you can run a python lock through it at least if someone breaks it off tree the camera will not work for them and it only costs you $40 plus sd and cable.

Final results of these cams for me is complete garbage. I've had yard deer walk by at 15 feet and not trigger it.

I'm pretty disappointed, I ordered several cams from Midway, they never came, when I asked what happened they are claiming they were delivered a month after I ordered them. I never received them! I'll see how they handle this but if I get cheated out of my money I will never order from Midway again!  :bash:

One thing to keep in mind is these cameras trigger when they detect temperature change as something walking by.If they stand still it doesn't trigger or WHEN outside temperatures are at or close to the body temperature of animals. In other words none of them work worth a darn in mid 80's and up.

That's weird.  I've never had a bad experience with Midway.  Hope it gets resolved for you.
