Bushnell 6mb low glow 24.99 @ midway

I don't have high hopes for these but I'm not going put a lot of $ into cams that I'm going to risk putting on public land...but if you're looking for a cheap camera (24.99) I thought I'd pass this along.

Bushnell Low Glow Game Camera 6 Megapixel Gray

 

Thanks I'll prob buy one. I hunt edge of suburbs/farm country and it's pretty much same deal. I got a primos easy cam same price last May off ebay and while it isn't the best I don't worry too much about it walking away.

 

I've got no problem with the cheap cams.

 

If anybody wants to see some video from the Bushnell cams I made a couple vids public on my FB page since I couldn't upload them to photo bucket for some reason.

Looks like the cams were still listed at 24.99 but I'm not sure if they still have inventory or not. Ymmv.

 

The videos look good. I'm wondering if you tipped the camera up a bit if the flash would reach further. The way the camera is sitting it looks like some of the flash is being absorbed by the ground.

 

Maybe. I'm thinking a reflector may also help.

 

Sold out now. Hard to beat $25 though if it works.

Shop around. I was picking up the Stealthcam P12 for $35.

 

I haven't seen much for good pictures out of Stealth cams under the G30 level. The G30 is great if you can find it for about $80 your doing good.

I did find some Covert MPe6's last year for $55 and that was a steal of a deal. Those cameras are bomb proof. If you look hard you can find them for about $75.

 

Any idea what battery life is on these cheap Bushnells?

 

Only take 4 AA's so I wouldn't think they would be too great on battery life. That's half the battery power most cameras have so you would think they would have about half the battery life.

 

So far, 1 week...lol . Sorry I don't know yet...

 

I have some cams that run on 4 aa that'll go 3 or 4 mths. Granted it's not beer cold in NC

 

Different part of the world from me.

Northern Wisconsin we get highs below freezing during hunting season and the coldest temp I had on a time stamp on a camera this year was -34

 

Lithium batteries then? I can get away with cheaper rechargeables.

 

Sometimes I use those. Just too expensive when your running 20 cameras. I pull most of the battery eaters out of the woods by November which brings my camera count down closer to 10-12.
But even running my Covert MPe6's over some bait in below 0 temps I would only get maybe two weeks out of the batteries (changing before they would die) because I was getting 6,000+ pictures every 4 days. So it's situation dependent for me too. I just hate the upfront cost of lithiums that's why I try not to use them.

I run some of the $40 Wildgame cameras and they work great. Price point camera but they work well for me. 8 months or so battery life. Descent photos and really easy to operate.

 

I think you will get all that you want on this source.
