Wildgame Innovations New Cell Cam

I don't have experience with the cell version but it would take a lot of positive experiences from others for me to even consider buying another wildgame cam

That is exactly why I'm asking...... too good to be true type of deal???

I bought a non cell WG recently and set it up side by side with a $30 Walmart Tasco type cam and the Tasco destroyed it in pic quality and actual triggering on humans inside my house. That was enough for me and was able to return the WG.
 
I guess WGI quality is going down. I have 2 that are old and 2 that are really old. The really old ones are the only ones that still work. I set them on a tree with a reveal x and they detected animals faster and farther out than the x did.
 
I’ve had a few off and on through the years. The picture quality wasn’t the greatest which to me is meh but they consistently wouldn’t trigger with a deer standing right in front of them or would capture butts as they were walking off but they never failed to catch pics of pollen, flies, spiders or other floaters. They’re innovating something but Wildgame isn’t it.
 
I've never used anything WGI but my local TSC had an after Christmas clearance sale on hunting related items and they had two packs of non-cell WGI cameras for $45 so I picked it up, it included two 32mb sd cards and 16 alkaline batteries. Have not put them out yet though. But with this new cell cam and pricing..... I'm telling you I'm tempted. @Gator I agree with you about the Wallyworld Tasco's, I have six of them now and for the price, you can't beat 'em. What I've found with any of the cameras I have is spend the $ on good LI batteries and the cheap cameras will work very well.

What the heck are you waiting for? Get them cameras on a tree somewhere and throw one of your favorites on too. See how they compare, even if it’s just pictures of you coming from different angles and distances. Trail cams need to establish a pecking order too!
 
Any update on these?
Nothing on the WGI's new cell cams but I did buy two Tactacam Reveal X's that went on sale when @theAdmiral posted a Wallyworld sale for them for $69 each. I have them both up and they are working great. I get pictures every day its very cool. Setting them up was pretty user friendly as well. Sorry I didn't have more directly relevant info on the new WGI ones for ya.

i have 3 of the 1st gen reveals in the field and I love them. I've recently have the want to start getting video, how do the X's do with sending video? If you've used that feature of course.

That $69 deal would have been great! lol missed that one
