Tactacam Reveal X 2.0 vs Spypoint Flex G36 - Head to Head Test and Review 

A factor that you didn't compare is the plans & their costs. I've used both, and I do kinda agree that the Reveal has a slight edge in a few respects, BUT the SpyPoint has a FREE plan with 250 pics per month. that is great (at least for the offseason). With a Dozen cameras out there, SpyPoint has $0 = 250, $5 = 1,000, $8 = Unlimited and that's a huge savings for me (I'm admittedly a cheap bastard!)

great review. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing!

Very good, accurate info presented here. I'm also currently running both of these cameras, and the number of false triggers that are generated by the Spypoint camera cannot be overemphasized. Besides being extremely aggavting when reviewing pictures, they also significantly reduce battery life. Amazingly, over a period of several months, I've not experienced a single false trigger from the Reveal camera. That alone makes the Reveal a winner in my book.

I like your videos. Good information and presented well.

The 100 free pics and GPS feature and the ability to connect to ANY network was the deciding factor for me to go with the Spypoint.

In the cart now that ks for the review. (Ever thought about a. Episode of "can 28g and 410 be a dove go to shotgun" :)

THANKYOU Brother....

I have 2 of G-36 cameras. One is working great, but I've had to replace the other one and the new one is giving me issues after a week in the woods. I was getting a message saying that my SD card was the issue. I retrieved it, long formatted the SD card and it was still not transmitting. Even though the batteries were still at 50+%, I replaced them. Now it seems to be working while it's sitting on my desk. While I was still testing it, Spypoint CS called me back and said it seems to be working correctly now. They also told me that a new firmware would be sent out TOMORROW, so we will see. Luckily, I bought them at my local BPS so if it quits again, I'm taking it back for a refund and buying a Tactacam.

I have 12 spypoints and ran them for the past 4 years I've had to replace 3 so far. I have 6 tactacams ran them for 2 years and replaced 3 cameras so far. The 100 free photos from spypoint is a big selling point for me though. Both cameras have worked good for me but the fact the spypoint offers a free plan just has me going more with them as I'll run them all year after season on the free plans and the tactacams I pull after season

Dealing with issues on my Flex G-36 now with not getting my full video requests and the battery jumping and lowering in the app . I’m using the LT 22 battery pack .

You probably can’t go wrong with either. I run multiple Spypoint flex-s and g-36s with Tactacam solar panels, and continue to add more. The free plan that Spypoint offers when running many cameras is a big selling point, especially during the off season.

I have 4 Spypoint’s sitting in my garage that doesn’t work. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. They’ve replaced 2 of them already and they still stop working. I just bought the reveal x 2.0 and I’m excited to try it out

One thing that bothers me about Tactacam is you have to pay an additional 9 bucks a month on top of your regular plan price to receive multiple shots. If you select the multi shot option it will take multiple pictures but only send you the first one unless you pay extra. No extra fee for spypoint.

Based on this video, I purchased two Flex G36 cameras (I already have a Reveal X and a bunch of other misc cameras). Both G36 cameras were complete garbage and neither camera ever worked for more than 2 days. I spent over a month troubleshooting both cameras and probably contacted support at least a dozen times. What would happen is I would get the G36 set up, make sure it was sending pics before I left the field, it would work for 1-2 days, and then stop communicating entirely. This happened over and over again with BOTH G36 cameras. Eventually Spypoint replaced both cameras, I returned both cameras, and bought another Reveal X. I would strongly, strongly recommend the Reveal X over the Flex G36. There is no comparison. The Reveal X is reliable, the settings allow you to get the camera to do EXACTLY what you want it to, and paying for the transmission plan is a pleasure relative to getting the Spypoint free plan that just causes endless headaches.

How do you say that one camera use 12 batteries the other used eight, but I didn’t hear you say the actual length of the battery life of each camera before replacement?

One of my new Spypoint Flex G-36 cameras dumps a pile of blank pictures daily at 12 am. Contacted customer service with no explanation. They said I should drive 50 miles, hike a couple more and turn the camera off and on again. Next I should more new batteries and another expensive SD card. The camera isn't a month old. I have two others that I bought at the same time that seem to be working fine so I do know how use them. It has now disappeared from the GPS tracking map so I assume it is now dead in the bush despite 60% batteries and good signal. My son runs several Tacticam without issue. He has gen 1 and 2.0 and they have worked flawlessly. My buddy has the new Pro Tacticam and they work great too. My bad for not going with the same and not listening to the Spypoint reviews. My non cellular Spypoints always worked great so I foolishly expected the same.

I have both cameras, from my personal experience, I will never buy another spypoint. Tacticam is the way to go!! Tacticam also has a gps location on it. You just have to copy the coordinates and put it on google maps. Still tacticam is superior

I have a few spy point cameras that only send pictures in good service will tactacam be better?

file size does not = quality. File size has to do with the compression technique of the camera. I have a very low quality camera that produces massive file sizes. and I have other cameras that are very noticeably better image quality that have file sizes 1/10 of the size of that lower quality camera. The actual sensor used and the quality of that sensor is where the image quality will come from.

Do you have to have an account with verizon or attt? Or is the data plan billed through the cam mfg?

Did you have trouble with SPYPOINT not sending all the pics ?

How did the apps and services compare?

UPDATE: Spypoint said that tech support was not correct about rain possibly voiding warranty. WAS: Spypoint says that rain may violate warranty. Today. Refused to email chat so I took a screenshot. Run from Spypoint… really.

Strong disagreement on the settings advantage for Tactacam. As a 67 year old I want as few steps as possible to get my pics.

The spypoint app is painful, controlling the camera is like trying to paint your house through the the letterbox. Very dissapointing.

Spy point are total garbage I used them and now switch to tactacam and will never go back. Spy point also has horrible customer service, tactacam I have yet to need customer service.

Spypoint did nothing for me after my Micro LTE died in just over 2yrs….spypoint support is garbage and will never buy another!

SPYPOINT is junk. I’ve used them they fail and pic r blurry at best
