Looking at buying the Primos 35 game camera. Wanting to know the general opinion of these from people that have used them.

here is a couple pictures from one of them...I got two out and I will give you a better idea Monday, these were more or less taken in a test run setup (as you can tell I didn't set the time/date right :? ) I'll tell you this, you see that big tree in the picture...I took 50+ pictures of squirrell jumping on and off the bottom of that tree and it caught them all pretty center the screen, so that's good trigger! It's very simple to use too, I like it so far, we'll see how they worked after being setup for real for an entire week...

I got the second one (can't remember the number) and have been very pleased with it.

there a set of sticks and Millenium bracket in a tree "very near" that tree! LOL

What you can't see is the HUGE swamp red oak acorn falling out of that tree all over the ground....That doe, think she got shot bout 100 yards from there by another camp member opening weekend...not positive, but I think...either way...

I have a couple of these- they are really simple to use and have worked flawlessly so far.

It is the 45. You have any problem with yours not flashing(LEDs not going on) right at dawn or dusk and the picture being almost black except for horizons? Other than that i love it.

checked these cameras this weekend...they are nice, easy to use and all...I can't put bait out in front of cameras where I hunt, so my camera setups are far more difficult, they are on trails or like in the one post above, looking at a tree I think something my browse under...so what I am saying is usually for my setups, the deer isn't gonna move around in front of the camera much as a deer feeding on bait designed to catch the deers pictures...that being said, I had 60+ pictures on one trail, no food...so I think that is pretty good...just it catching movement on the trail. Which I think it missed as many as it caught, cause more than that many deer moving through there in a week, no doubt in my mind!

Let me say this, I believe a cameras miss WAY more than we realize, all of them...Sunday evening my dad and I were hunting on his lease...each of us hunting over places where cameras where setup. Both of us had deer pass numerous times plainly at perfect spots in front of the cameras while we were in the tree watching. Neither of the cameras took pictures of these deer...however if you check those cameras weekly, they produce 200-300 pictures each. So they work they are taking puctures, but they are just not triggering EVERY single time a deer passes. I ask myself, I climbed the tree by a camera that had taken 144 pictures in 4 days, I watched 5 of the 7 deer I saw walk 10 yards in front of the camera and when I left, still 144 pictures taken on the camera. So how many deer are passing that thing and not getting a picture taken?

I have a 46 on the way. I'm hoping it turns out better than the latest moultree cams.

I actually have the 60. I misspoke. and I'm not having any trouble with it. Don't ask me about my trophy cam though. :roll: :roll:

I have the 35 got it back in July have had over 1500 pictures on it. Everyone has been clear. Even have gotten pictures of deer running by it at 40-50 yards out. Have not changed the batteries once since I put it out in July. I am about to start replacing all my others with these.
