Received this camera for Christmas, please tell me its a good camera- I have had so many bad ones. Tell me what you do and dont like about it, thanks
Great camera. Incredible day pictures. Good night pictures. Invisible to detect when triggered at night. Excellent battery life.
About as good of a camera you can buy without forking over the money for a Reconyx. I own four of them myself.
I got a black60 also and like the fact nothing has noticed the camera and got spooked like my other camera's flash. The small size,battery life and Trigger speed is great. I think this camera will do awesome on a trail or over a scrape. The viewing screen comes in handy and there are alot of options on the settings. The little bit I messed with it I happy with it. Next year I will have it out more, but I am not second guessing this camera's capabilities at all. Also the Covert support team here on the forums is second to none!. Look, 15 minutes after you posted you got a response. Try that with any other camera on the market. Even on other camera's facebook page you still have to wait for a while to get a response, if... you get one. What other cameras did you have before this?
friends dont let friends buy cuddebacks For me being a Moultrie guy for the last 7 years, it took a little bit getting used to the settings and setting up the Covert. Wasnt bad. I found this video on Youtube helpful. I would have figured it out myself, but I had to to do something to pass the time till the UPS guy showed. haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW5xNsD3SJM Regardless,please keep us updated.
I just got a Red40, I have had it out since christmas. I am itching to get the card out of it and see how the pictures are. I have a Moutrie M80 and that is pretty good, but I think this one will be a bit better.
Personally I prefer a crummy Primos 35 over pretty much anything. I mean it's trigger speed is slow and loud, it's slightly detectable at night, and to top things off I am always changing the D batteries in it every month it seems.... I kid I kid...The Black 60 is the camera I wanted (only thing better is a Reconyx based on everything I've seen) but settled with the Red40 because as much as I LOVE covert cameras (currently own 3) I simply am not in a place to justify spending too much on a camera (hence why I own two CA models and now a Red40).
not sure if you seen this post. I know some have : http://www.chasingame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=27679 towards the end of the post, like on page 5 he got his recoynx back all fixed up. Good read though
I have no doubt Pat, trust me you've sold me for life on Coverts. My little CA models flippin blow out our Primos cams (35s and 46s) we've used till now. I can't compare first hand with reconyx only from what I'm told, read and see...as I'm sorry I would never even consider buying a trail cam at the price tag of theirs! If I spend that much money it'll be for a Black 60 and some other model of a covert..possibly even another one :D
I just checked the pictures on the Red40 last night and all I can say is wow. Besides the fact that I had quite a few deer nose up to the flash(which would happen on any camera that has an exposed flash) the pictures were great, Some of the deer that I picked up would totally have been missed by my Moultrie M80. I am sold the next one of my cameras is going to be another Red40 or a Black60. The only gripe I had about the camera was the threaded mounting system. It looks like its just a thin piece of plastic between the nut thats inside and the bolt you are screwing into the nut and I could see that breaking pretty easily. My Moultrie is much more stout in that department. I'm not a fan of the bottom screw location either. I was much more happy with it in the center of that back like on my Moultrie also. I will post pictures up later to give you guys a couple shots.
actually that's all my uncle and I use and my cousin, got another for Christmas. They are bad to the bone!
