Simmons game cameras

[Bowman]

I have say. For low cost game cameras, very cool.
Pros
Easy to setup
Compact
All black
Low cost
Excellent pictures.
Cons
Latch could wear out
Battery pack load was very easy
But batteries pop out easily
But once pack is loaded it is ok.
But for low cost it passes.
Quantity vs quality.

So of all cheapy game cameras I worked with
Stealth (this on one I would not buy again)
Tasco ( works ok poor picture)
Multrie ( work horse difficult to set up)
The Simmons beats them.
I am using a browning it's better
Than all the above. But if the Simmons
Hold up in the field. Price is Right.

Well I have 8 game cameras deployed all at my property for testing. Some of my SD cards are getting old time to replace them. I like buying the pony packs you get 2 or more SD cards.
Testing them before sticking them out in the woods.
So far the results with the Simmons
Has been mixed but mostly good.
Like I said need to buy new memory cards. Test them now then get crappy results out at the woods.

I have a bunch of different brands....The cheapest ones seem to be the easiest to use....Which is good, since I'm technicality challenged....lol

Great comparison of them, that helps a lot. The SD card and batteries cost as much as the low end cams almost... what is the pony pack on the SD cards you mentioned? I dont mind buying more sd cards and batteries than I need right now to keep the price down in the future. I found some bulk pack batteries 30 cents each if I buy 100. Can the MicroSD cards be used with the adapter in these cams?

Yes it can, micro will fit tablet, and laptops for reading.

Also I purchased an adapter that has std USB and a micro USB the has slots for the micro or std SD card.
In addition I use an adapter cable with a female std USB and a micro USB at the other end to hook up to my small tablet. Which I can up load
And view the pics. I carry it in a slim small case in my backpack.
Check my cameras out on the field.
Got it all at Fry's electronics.

Any guys using the 4g trail cams? I am assuming you just set up an extra line to get the sim card for the camera, is that how it works?

 

[ilovesprig]

Too pricey for me....Besides, I like the surprise of what I see on the cam....lol

[TrapLine]

FN good deal bro. Congratulations.

 

[ilovesprig]

Nice....I saw some at either Poway or Los Cochas here in SD.

I still want to get a few 4g ones if I can find some deals so I can place them far from home and still get data on an area I can visit 3-4 times a year.

 

[Bowman]

Yes me two eventually

What's the difference between 4 mg or 12 mg? (Other than you're going to get better pix)....You ain't going to get them cheaper than that....
