I bought a stealthcam a couple of years ago and it took 95% whiteouts and blackouts. I bought it around December, put it out in the summer, and found out it was broke. Due to stealthcams crap warranty, I was SOL.
These guys are having an optics sale right now and might have some good deals. They usually have user reviews too that will give you an idea of quality. I have bought stuff from them.
You can buy refurbished cuddeback captures off of ebay for 100 bucks. comes with new strap and I been using them the last 2 years with no problems. They are rebuilt back to new. Plus I think there is nothing that compares to a cuddeback. Ive had most of the other cams and missed a lot of pics. Got tired of pics with nothing in them. I have 10 cuddebacks now and im never disapointed.
Lol yeah accidentally hit the location button. I just checked my cams today after a week of having them on plotwatcher mode in the rain... Still perfect!
