Im going to get a new trailcam, I was going to get the new moultrie m880 looks like a great cam can get it off ebay for 125.00 but I was also looking at the moultrie panoramic 150 looks interesting for 40.00 more. I love the fact that it has 3 sensors and you can get a 150 degrees of coverage, but I dont like the fact that the lens has to move. Anything that moves eventually breaks!!! Also what would it do if it was surrounded by deer on all 3 sides? how would it know which deer to take a pic of? Does anyone have any experiance with the panoramic 150? If so how is it working for you?
It takes all the pics every time, doesn't "steer for deer". There was a thread about it; I think the moving parts and poor battery life make it a loser. I love my Bushnell. Awesome pics and videos, but $180 price tag. For the cheap price, my Primos 35 Ultra is a good workhorse I don't fear having stolen. The new Browning cam I got was cheap too, seems very well made, but is in my living room yet.
P150 generates a lot of curiosity fr buying, and then a lot disappointments for returning. Here are the things you need to check before or after you buy: 1. Are you comfortable with paying for 6-C batteries ($15 at least) for 1-month or so battery life? 2. Can you tolerate over 70% empty pictures on the same scene again and again? 3. Are you bothered when the moving part generates sound and reflection that may scare wildlife? 4. Put the camera into a refrigerator for 1 hour and then take it out, to see if the camera head is still moving? 5. Are you comfortable with the big size?
That is a camera that I would stay away from. I have had bad luck with moultrie cameras and also with the moving parts there will be more issues
As a rep of a camera company on the forum one thing you will never see me do is bad mouth another companies product I think it is very poor judgement and will only hurt our company in the end. I will also admit I have a Panoramic 150 but have only had it for a couple weeks and checked it once. It is a very cool concept and for time lapse on a big field would work great as the field of view is incredible and the IR's really put out some light. I do expect the battery life to be not that great and also have questions about the motor in the cold but the jury is still out on both for me. #trailcameraaddict
Looks like the seams aren't real precise; but with a mechanical system I would think that would be hard to do. My inner engineer is thinking how I would do this better...
I thought you could put it on single mode,and it will take single pics like a regular trail cam. The sensor will just sense where the deer is and move the lens to that point and take a pic.
The panoramic is an interesting concept but I would not buy it yet. Let them get the bugs worked out or wait for another company to come along and piggy-back this idea with their improvements. Blessings........Pastorjim
Hey, they beat those old lantern batteries I used to lug around 6 at a time in a bucket swapping them out, charging them on the counter every week....
Photomerge in Photoshop would clean that up very well provided the camera allows ample overlap. Then again, who wants to have to buy the software to do that? Cool concept, though.
Its neat but i dunno im pretty ok with not seein what goin on 150 degrees around my cam. BTW - I Like how you named the cam the Patoramic hahaha
