Ask DS: game cameras directly from China.

[3spop]

I have several of the lights I have bought from China off of ebay over the past couple years. They're all awesome especially for the price. Last year I bought some of the video glasses very cheap and they work great also. I figure why pay an importer a chunk of middleman money when I can get them from the same factory they're getting them from. I'm wondering if anyone has seen any game cams for sale directly from China. I know that several of the different brands are made at the same factory, Bushnell, Covert, Scoutguard, and others. Seems like you could find a source for them and get them a lot cheaper. I haven't found any yet that last more than a couple of years anyway, so I would take a chance on one for sure. Anybody got a link??

I've tried to find it and it is a guarded secret. If you find the supplier, let us know.

Yea, I figure there is probably some kind of agreement with the main factories over there not to sell to anyone other than the U.S. importers, but I bet it will get out sooner or later if not already. I did see one no name 12 mp cam on ebay. It was for sale in America for $135 so it looked like somebody got ahold of one somehow.

Biggest thing is having the licenses to do it all with that china company. All the import costs and brokerage stuff.
You would be suprised how much hunting stuff actually comes outta china. At work i usually check just for my own interest to see. Makes me mad to even look anymore

We americans get lied to alot by companies and shows.

You can't just drop a bomb like that and not explain. Are they good?

Is anyone still building homebrews?

I did look at those in the link above. Somebody needs to be the guinea pig.

I'd be scared of it.

you can buy the Moultrie M80XD's for $110. and they are great cameras that are dependable.

yea, the way some of the other items are priced, I was thinking you might would be able to find a camera you have to pay $125 for here at a price of maybe $40-$50 over there. Looks like somebody nixed that idea though.
