    Thank you for this-very helpful! I purchased the Force-Dark and I had the same issue with the cell link cable. Going to making some modifications to my camera and case this weekend.

    It's a good cheap way to turn trail cams into cell cams.

    I bought one but I have a Browning camera and the SD slot is on the side in line with the door latch. Way less than ideal. I pinched my first cable and given the location of the SD slot I’m hesitant to modify the door.

    They can be difficult on some cameras. I have been using a GardePro E5 and it is working really well. The way the camera closes, the SD slot location, and the fact it takes a standard 5.5.5x2.1 plug like the Cell Link means I can direct connect both to my external battery/solar combos I have been building.

    Trying to figure out how it would be possible to position the camera that would allow water to come in, even with a hole in the bottom of door, where I live, water won’t travel up a wire. Always down.

    If the wire ran downwards and was tight without the drip loop it would run down to the little hole into the camera. From there it could evaporate up into the camera causing condensation once it cools.

    Okay one last thing, sorry for bothering you. I am about to purchase one and had a few questions. If I use AA batteries and get updates like every two hours, will the batteries last at least 2-3 months in either the cell link or in the micro mini camera? I really appreciate your help

    Alkaline batteries should last a couple thousand pictures. The Micro does very well on batteries from my experience. I put Energizer Ultimate Lithiums in it and they will last a season getting a couple hundred pics a month.

    Are you able to plug that sd card with the cable on it into a phone adapter or computer to see the images if you want to? Thanks for this vid.

    Yes you are. It is basically a little 512MB SD card itself. The pictures are stored on it until the Cell Link wakes up and sends them, then it moves the photos to the micro SD.

    Cell link crap. Not the cable. You buy the cell link to work with your camera. Not buy the link and then find which cameras work. Stupid. Next I tried browning camera. Screwed my camera up and eats batteries in day or two. Not sending photos
