2 Full Curls Report post Posted November 26, 2012 Hey Guys, Looking for some updated input/recommendations for a couple of trail cameras. I currently have an old Moultrie (takes a box of C batteries to crank her up) that I love and works great. With that said, I want something smaller that will still get me good battery life (a couple of months). I have read reviews and am looking at the Coverts that Amanda sells on the site. I am wanting to stay under $130 bucks per camera if I can...but will go up to $150 if its really worth it. Any opinions with information to your camera type (Covert, Cuddeback, Moultrie, etc.), battery life, effective range, and any issues would be very helpful! Thank you in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted November 26, 2012 just an fyi....one of the coverts is 129.99 (just under your price point).... it's a very small camera with great battery life and performance. It's the Covert CA4.0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted November 26, 2012 I have been using the little covert CA ones with pretty good success. I got one I left out that took a little over 3800 pics. Not sure if the batteries died but the card got full is why it quit taking pics. Night pics are the big factor in battery life seems to me. The CA's run off just 4 double A's. So that is a huge plus for them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesBuckhunter Report post Posted November 26, 2012 I've been using the moultrie M-80s. They are real small and have great pics. The night pics are the best Never any white outs and it gets a great range; I never have any night pics where I can't tell what the animal is or what kinda buck it is. They have great battery life, run off of 8 AAs but can also run off of 6 if need be. If you look on amazon you can find them around your price range of $130, I picked mine up at $122. Though I am not sure how they compare to the coverts. I've heard great things about the coverts and might pick up a CA4 in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcdinaz Report post Posted November 27, 2012 The covert Amanda sells is a great little camera, lightweight and the batteries last a really long time. I use the spypoint tiny camera more than any other because I bought quite a few of them at a good price. The spypoint tiny has the best aiming system and is easier to use than pretty much any others I have used. However, I wish I had more of the coverts as well due to the ability to use the metal lock box that is available. Both of these cameras take great pics and batteries will last for months.
