You did a great job with this review! Roughly how much data did you use on your plan during those 3 weeks? This is the only thing stopping me from purchasing this camera, I feel like I'd run out of data fairly quickly of there are a bunch of false triggers.
Hey thanks so much! I will try and see if I can find that info, although my 30 day data plan has ended (so not sure if I’ll be able to). I will say that this camera did a good job not false triggering with all of those ferns and the wind. I was checking another camera simultaneously in that same area and it did way worse with false triggers than the Reolink. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Hey I just looked up my usage and it looks like I was right at 2048 MB Total. That’s right at the 2 GB limit for my 30 day plan… so it may have even stopped recording as it maxed out (at the end of my 3 week test). I also jumped in live a few times, so that has an impact of data usage. Hope this helps!
Hopefully, this works better than the solar panel that comes with the tactacam sk that didn't hold up for longer than 2 months, and I had the lithium battery with it
@@mountainbuck well 3 of the 4 properties that I hunt have very little service but this is a product that is used in the country so they need satellite technology. The 4th property is a 5 hour drive there and back and the batteries die in 5 weeks not even taking a picture everyday so I am not happy with this product I will be waiting for satellite tech and solar combo before I would purchase another one
Hey Duane! I do like that more companies are making cell trail cameras now, as more competition just helps them get better and better! I appreciate you reviewing all these cameras bro and making it easier for me to make a decision without having to buy them all. The 4th of July is always a big day for me. It is a fun day of family and friends cooking out and enjoying fireworks, but it is also the day that starts my pre-season prep on my hunting spots. Good times ahead! I hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th!
Hey thanks so much man! That’s a great date to start your prep! I appreciate the positive feedback as always. Have a great 4th and best of luck this season! The Dude abides 👍🏻🦌🦌🦌
you mean like this? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Ti7HuXUK90.html or ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0MM8x2-RSz4.html
I believe that’s just the camera ID. So if you had multiple cameras, you’d know camera 3 is the one overlooking your food plot (it should be in the information bar in the photos).
I've had this bow for six months now and it's great, I also have hoyt invicta and Mathews TRX 36 and I have to say the dragon is not inferior to them in any way and its completely reinforced concrete wall is just something incredible
i really like my orig vtalx from last year, but had to add crank as it was about impossibe to cock with factory rope cocker....but crank works really well once you get the hang of it! don't really need the extra speed of newer one you are advertising. throw a 150 gr mechanical onto ki light bolts/arrows and mine shot great with matching field points.....never got a shot at a fit deer to see what ki mechanical would do.....maybe in a few months will see. my second ki xbow and like both just fine, though vtalx is defenitely quieter with heavier overall arrow set up and paraell limbs design!
Hey thanks for your input! Good stuff! KI makes some nice quality bows for the price. Are you using those Swhacker 3” Broadheads by chance? I love those haha 🩸🩸
@@mountainbuck had to go to crowsbows 10+ plus years ago dt vision problems. was still forced to hunt with them left handed as right eye is shot and left eye not hell of a lot better, but optic magnification still allows me to bowhunt with xbows. all my bh selections have been 100 gr until last year, when i switched to the ki lights and 150 gr ki mechanicals. with that rivalx last year, my normal setup of 100 gr point and total arrow weight= around 420+ gr, including lighted nock, didn't group well at 50 yds out of the rivalx. out of frustration last summer i grabbed one of my ki lights, which i virtually had never shot due to such light wt shaft/insert from factory. threw on old half rusted 148 gr field tip from past years of shooting trad archery equip. well it flew near perfect with that boost of foc wt and overall increased arrow wt dt bumping up pt by 50 gr and adding lighted nock aswell. extra weight even quieted shot a little more and chrono only lost about 10+ fps over my normal deal of using 100 gr pt/broadhead. works for me! 150 gr mechanicals are not that easy to find and i wouldn't have a rage up my butt, so ki 150's should perform about as well as any other decent mechanical design. sorry for the long winded response, but why reinvent the wheel if it can be avoided! thanks for your videos.....they really are helpful for the exact same reason!
@@doncraig3665 Thanks for the info. That's great that you just happened to try that 150 grain broadhead by chance! I really like the 3" 150 grain Swhacker mechanicals. I'll definitely have to check out the Killer Instinct mechanicals at some point. Thanks for the tip!
@@mountainbuck hey thanks! i watched your videos last summer multiple times. your experience with these bows was definitely a help to me. nothing like practical knowledge/help when you're trying to accomplish something! anyone who thinks xbow set-up/shooting/hunting is simple or easy....they are full of it. thanks again!
Hey thanks for watching. I have tons of reviews on trail cams. I actually left this one at my father-in-laws property for a year (will get it this November) due to the great battery life. I’m looking forward to seeing how it made out over that time period.
Hey Duane! I had some time away from work to sit down and catch up on your videos. Just like other pieces of hunting equipment, trail cameras have come a long way! A lot more companies making them and that in turn drives each of them to "raise the bar" on improving them! Sadly though, some states (Iowa for one) are banning the use of Cell trail cameras for hunting use (and regular trail cameras). And let me re-state "FOR HUNTING USE", this does not affect those non-hunters using them for poacher surveillance or using them for protecting property. It seems using them gives the hunters an unfair advantage and the DNR deems it "not fair chase". Funny how this issue pops up AFTER companies have sold millions of cameras. Anyway, just wondering what your thoughts were on this. I, fortunately, live in a state where we can still use trail cameras.
Yeah I’ve read about some states banning them. I’m against banning them, personally. I can sort of understand where they are coming from if people are using them on instant transmission mode and they get pop-up alerts when deer are headed their way. That could be a bit of an unfair advantage and a bit lazy, but last I checked, this is a free country. It seems government wants to regulate (and over-regulate) everything. As long as hunters are staying within the rules, being ethical and respect the game, they should be able to use them (in my opinion). 👍🏻
Hey Duane! As others have commented, there are so many more companies making bows these days then there were 10-20 years ago. I got away from shooting vertical bows when i hurt my shoulder a few years ago. I went to a crossbow and though many will hate on them, my shoulder thanks me and my local food bank thanks me for staying out hunting after the injury. When I started bow hunting in the early 90s, there weren't many companies making left-hand models and if they did, they charged more for it. Anyway, thanks for this review and I am thinking I may get back into vertical bows. I am glad to see there are decent bows out there now for a decent price.
Hey thanks man. Yeah people hate on crossbows, but that’s what I primarily use. I don’t typically have enough time to practice with a vertical bow to feel confident enough to hunt. It’s all about being an ethical hunter for me. Plus… technology keeps advancing and I embrace that. Modern crossbows are ridiculous with how advanced they are becoming. I mean… most people still aren’t using a flip phone, are they?
