Anyone that has ever run trail cams has a camera or two they thought about buying and maybe did or didn't for whatever reason. Moultrie A5 was that camera for me. I finally bought one and although it is very early in the life of this camera, I am very pleased! Here are a few pictures from the first pull. I will try to get a few videos uploaded some day when I switch it to video mode.
I have always had good luck with them. They don't look like an 880 or 990, but for $50.00 to $80.00 they are well worth it. Moultrie has done a good job of improving their entry level cameras over the years.
I bought an A-5 last year, had it out for a week and the IR went out. Thankfully it was still under Wal-Marts 15 day warranty and they let my exchange it for a new one. I had the same problem with the next A-5. I returned it and spent 10 more dollars on the Primos 35 Truth Cam and it's still in the woods. However, I wish you better luck than I originally had with them haha. Awesome pics by the way
Yeah that's a risk I was willing to finally take. Got it for $45 on wingsupply so I wont be out much some day down the road.
I don't think I guy could go wrong for $45. On a side note I just order 2x M880I s. I'll be sure to post some pics as soon as I let them soak awhile!
I am actually getting ready to order two of those as well. Where did you order yours from? Just looking at prices right now
Just a thought, but the D-55IRXT is on clearance at Rogers Sporting goods for $69 right now. I bought several of them last week. Just put the first one out last weekend so not sure how they work but reviews are great. Apparently they are a 1.7 second trigger and 8 second recovery with a legit 50' range on infrared. Not the greatest stats but still respectable and I couldn't find anything else in the $70 range that compared.
It's a great camera for 50 to 60 bucks. Had mine out since early NOvember, batteries still don' need changed yet. Got some better deer pics on it, don wanna go prowling in my folders so sneak a peek. Gor better piCs from the hollow. Thought maybe someone would steal my Moultrie down there, got is set up 50 yds from the h0use n0w
