Thankyou and subscribed. Just starting to research and trying to choose between the two since the Gen 2 presently on sale at Cabelas Canada.

Nice Job Mike with the comparison!

Just bought one and used last week. So far so good.

Caught a nice "old" bruiser on one of my new XBs within three days of hanging it! One of my XBs is having issues so I need to exchange, Saw the the X Pro was going to be released... I guess the price will help me decide which to get. Been running a cpl of the orig Reveals for a couple years and I love all of the Tactacam cams I've tried more than any other game cams I've used in the past. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for watching

Ty for the info it helped

Show a picture of the led and what it looks like

I had to exchange an XB and all Bass pro had left was the X Pro; two days later my Husband picked me up a Gen X 2; I like the view screen because I can aim it while I'm at the camera. My issue is with the $5 for 50 videos; sometimes they load sometimes not or I'll think what is in the pic is what will be on the vid (when it will send it) but several have been videos of nothing for 15secs....just crickets chirping. I am thinking of trying the $9 pro plan addition, anyone else tried it and if so is it more consistent than the $5 for 50 vid or pic plan? Also is anyone else having very grainy videos/pics coming through Instead of "HD" that's supposed to be sent? Any info/tips appreciated (I'm running solar panels on all and Tactacam is the best IMHO even with the lil glitches here/there). Thanks!

I have recently received a few hi res pictures of a deer at close range and a portion of his body was somewhat pixelated when zooming in. This camera had a marginal signal where located. I think that is the reason. Not all the digital data made it through. I have requested videos that occasionally have the animal that was in the photo missing. There is a bit of a delay from the time the camera takes a photo and then begins videoing. I think that is usually the cause of “missing” animals.

What is the effective nighttime photo range between two different model cameras? And nighttime photo quality between the two?

Night time quality is good on both with the low-glow having a little greater range.

Hey Mike....thanks for the video comparison! Question for you. I am running 8 SK's and four of them have the Reveal external solar panel attached along with the rechargeable battery pack installed. Battery life is HORRIBLE with this setup with single pic and video selected. Settings check is set to instant. Any suggestions? Do the Reveal solar panels not have the power to keep up? Do you sell a panel that is better than the Reveal model? Thanks!!

@herd360

2 жыл бұрын

Instant settings check is tough on batteries by itself. Daily settings check would help. The Tactacam packs can handle a decent amount of activity each day with plenty of sun. I do have a much bigger and more capable solar pack if you need it. www.herd360.com/products/solar-power-pack-spp1025?

I’m confirming you can not get pics from the pro on your cell phone since it doesn’t have wifi? If not are they coming out with a camera that can do both?

@herd360

7 ай бұрын

The wifi on the Reveals has nothing to do with getting pictures. They all receive pictures to the app through a cellular connection. The wifi is on the models that do not have a screen so you can connect to the camera through the app on your phone and perform setup actions. You must be close to the camera and put camera in setup mode to perform.

@huntermark1160 they come feom Tactacam with a simcard. I would steer clear of anyone selling that isn't an authorized dealer with the ability to contact them. There are people on ebay that setup accounts then list items much cheaper and then when someone buys it the seller uses a stolen cc to order the item from a legit seller and have it shipped to the buyer. The legit seller then eventually looses all those funds. Also if not from an authorized dealer there will be no warranty. As an authorized retailer I can not advertise an X-Pro for sale below $149.99
