The Perfect New Cell Trail Cam Setup 

Thanks Bob, hope you guys have an outstanding Mother's Day too!

I have known Chad since 2016...one of my favorite in the industry! Very intense deer hunter too, which I can fully appreciate. Look forward to hearing how you like the Render Paul!

The cool thing is that my cams last with video over 3 months right now and j just change them when I swap cards at some point while hunting a nearby stand. But man with those cell cams they will be perfect! Especially when I can hide them 6' higher than the cam, separate from the cam

They sure are Yogi! Man, so down to earth and real. Always enjoy spending time with them. Dinner...drinks...included Dylan for the two days they were here too. And my wife Diane and daughter Ariana. Just all around great time. I think all together 13 podcasts and videos in 2 days, kind of wore out after, lol. Jake and Chad...great team!

Don’t mean to be a pest maybe when you get a minute you can ask her I think she said around 1pm but I’m not sure was a long time ago had that conversation please let me know so where on the same page ty

@@suzmell1 no problem Paul...she will contact you.

All so true Chris...they really are a game changer!! It begs the question...unfair advantage? I can't wait to use that new Render this year...but it really is a much higher level of scouting info than I will have ever had before.

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 very good point on unfair advantage. With our small parcel, bucks often only pass through right now and may only be around for 1 day. So there mayyyy have been times when we received a cell cam pic of a big buck wandering around and immediately dropped work and rushed out to hunt 😁. But it's also REALLY nice for confronting trespassers.

@@blazeice111 EXACTLY what I will do 🙂 Great point about trespassers too!

I hope that you can get one soon! Make sure not to go too cheap when you do...I've seen a lot of cell cams that fail quickly...

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I am Sure I will Jeff, I recently bough a track loader to work on my property and would love one for security to watch my loader when I am not there.

@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors Sounds like a great idea...those things are expensive. Good security 😉

Hi Randy I have done that several times throughout the years...even going all the way back to my UP of MI property in the early 2000s. I think I am at 25-30 habitat days including what I have done on mine or others lands. The last one was $500 per person for a 1 day event and I had around 20 show up. The problem is that it takes a weekend away. I already have full trips that take a weekend a month, a short trip that takes a 2nd, and between kids family and my own work on the lands my weekends are worth a whole lot to me. I think my first habitat days were around 18 years ago. Just too much other work to do. It seems good on paper but it would take a lot to take a weekend away from me, in particular when combined with the preparation, food, facility, workbooks, power point presentation, etc. My sponsors/partners like the several million RU-vid views I will give their products this year, depending on the products. The articles I will write with links, personal recommendations to clients... Always trying to make sure what works the best! I think I've given 70-80 presentations going back a long time...just hard to fit it all in. Hope that makes sense and I appreciate the interest! Maybe I will have to hold one this year...

thanks for the reply Jeff. If you ever get the notion to do a seminar and need a neutral parcel email me maybe we can put something together

Hi Liam, I would want one out at the latest by August...mine are typically out by the end of June or early July. Many of h the bucks I shoot are patterned during the prior years. Then I use late season trail cams, summer scouting and summer cams just to make sure that they are still alive.

Looking forward to hearing about it Randle! A game changer for sure...

I can't wait to use one with a very high potential of quality battery this season! Should be a game changer.

Feel free to shoot Exodus an email if you have any specific questions!

@@chadsyl23 thanks Chad, i bought the Lift 2. It's working great so far. Being my first trail cam im still playing with the settings to stop nuisance photos and videos.

Don't be shy about trying out the cheap chinese cams. I was always leery of them, assuming they were crap. I have moultrie, browning, covert, bushnell, spypoint, tasco, etc. Received a cheap chinese cam as a gift last year. Expected nothing from it when i put it out. But was pretty amazed with it's quality, especially for it's price. Now i have several. And the best thing about them? Not caring/worrying about them too much, as there isn't ridiculous amounts of $$ invested in them. The big name cam companies are absurdly over-priced, especially when one reads about people's dealings with dud cameras and customer service. No more for me.

thanks a lot and I hope that you guys have a great day too! I think they should for sure. I will definitely lay out where they should go...great for setting up later!

Ok great I will be heading up Thursday morning 3hr hike do you have any idea when you will be in my neck of the woods also will you be calling me that day to give me an eta

@@suzmell1 hi Paul definitely will be calling you, but Diane has the schedule so no idea on time - whatever you guys had worked out.

It's a Verizon Network Ken. Which is a good thing...they have by far the best coverage in rural areas. I don't think you can add any if them to a current provider you are already are using. Sperate plans... Maybe the guys from Exodus Trail Cameras can respond to that one ..

Hi Ken. Chad here with Exodus. This camera is a Verizon certified device meaning it needs Verizon coverage for it to work, however it will send photos/videos to any smart phone, connected tablet, and computer. All legitimate cellular cameras are designed and optimize to run off a specific network provided by Verizon, ATT, US cellular, etc. thus the reason you see some manufacturers offer ATT or Verizon specific models. Hope that makes

Hard to say they don't have the best in the industry...or at least tied at the top. They work very hard but as I've found myself, you certainly can't please everyone! Jake Hofer is awesome too...top notch all around

Hey David, Wanted to touch base and see if there's anything we can help with. Feel free to send us an email info@exodusoutdoorgear.com

Exodus Trail Cameras I have sent several emails about the possibility of a refund or at least to speak with someone about my concerns. Haven’t heard anything in weeks. Could you please get back with me on this?

Man I wish that was possible...multiple camera angles and planning for the shoot, just not enough time. Hence the significant amount of B roll. Kind of a balance. We typically shoot 6-8 vids in 3-4 hours and do not have any more time than that. Then it goes to edit. I'd like to use diagrams more too...but not enough time to use for every video. So we do on some. I have been wanting to use cell cameras for s couple of years now...game changer for sure! Almost not fair...

Ha, too funny...claim it Randle 😀

Whitetail Habitat Solutions I am. Me and you claim that idea now. We will be rich over this and buy us a couple thousand acres to hunt on. GOD BLESS.

I'm sure these guys are extremely busy trying to get those Cell cameras out to us. I called today and was able to get some info. They were very apologetic and assured me I will have my camera ASAP.

@@gradyrobinson-shaw6079 sounds like they weren't organized.

Not all are the same. But if you can't figure out how to put an sd card into your phone or computer to view it's contents, that ain't the cam's fault.

After running more of the Renders and keeping a close eye on power consumption, we've seen camera's far exceed the 5,000 mark. If you're running a cell camera the way it is intended to be used, we strongly suggest using a solar panel.

Nick...sounds like they have tested several thousand pics thru the new cell cam without the panel. Can't wait either way! Most cell cams have a high failure rate regardless...I am hoping the new Render matched their current models in reliability. They still have the same 5 year warranty which is incredible...

I would assume they don’t because I personally would t want a camera that large. I know if you go to Exodus website they sell there camera and there solar panels. I know it’s not build in but then it you can mostly please everyone. Also with how much power the cell cams need, send pictures and operate they consume more batteries. Chad explains it pretty well on how to maximize the battery life in this video and I’m sure if you called them they would also give tips. Technology is always progressing so I am sure at some point this won’t be an issue but due to costs (cost to build the camera and how much you would have to pay) this is where it’s at!!!

Well that's nice at least, Jonathan. I like buying the whole package in one place at least. You'll have to keep us updated on this cell camera Jeff. We currently use Spartan cell cameras and although they're still kicking, they usually don't capture us when we walk by so ...

Nick Presley we will have a full package on the website later this year. It’ll have the Render, Solar Panel, and mounting bracket!

@@TheJonathanGibbonsTeam great comments Jonathan! I certainly wouldn't want a trail cam larger than what they create. Right now I had 13/16 setups that a deer didn't look at all season. 1000s of pics. Make that trail cam larger and it could kill a spot. When I use the panel it will be as high in the tree as I can get it. Also, with a solar panel you face it to the south...trail cam setup, north.

Interesting opinion....that is highly up for interpretation tho 😉

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 You are correct. It's about opinion. Unless of course you kill a RECORD book buck. Everyone loves to say "I killed a Booner" or Pope and Young this or that. So it may be fair to say that "score" is important to some. But Fair Chase, as defined by the ones who literally wrote the book on it, declares that once a bucks image is captured on a cell trail camera it is no longer eligible to be entered into either record book. It is not fair chase. This is according to Boone and Crockets definition of Fair Chase.

Jeff, I like your channel. You have a lot of good information (except on blood trailing). And I appreciate how hard it must be to edit and upload all those videos. I just don't enjoy hunting food plots. I enjoy the challenge of hunting public land in big hardwoods. And small tracts. But I am glad you do what you do. As long as it is legal! Keep at it old man...you are a credit to your age!!! (but I'm older!)

Learned something new today. Thanks @Richard Britt for bringing that up. For clarification. Regular Picture or video recording trail cameras in which you must go on site to retrieve the cards or images, is considered fair chase by the B&C, and P&Y. However...... Cell cameras that send real time pictures and/or video to you remotely is considered unfair chase by the B&C and P&Y, and therefore negates entries into the clubs if used.

Been having luck with lithiums....but looking to switch to that setup too.

Sounds like with testing for the new Render and a solar panel they should more than last the entire season. I get to see every model of ever cell cam across my clients lands, and man I have to say there is a lot of garbage out there... extremely unreliable. There are a couple decent...most very bad as far as reliability goes. Can't wait to out the Render thru its paces this season...hoping it exceeds the typical experience my clients have with longevity and of course battery life.

Yes... agreed, I was disappointed that mine didn’t transmit video only photo and the photos are low quality; lots a variables enter the equation in cell cams; this technology needs lots more refinement and development

@@benpena2832 I know that Exodus spent a lot on components! Very high end. While most companies are actually cutting costs in the industry to produce very cheap cell cams ..Exodus went higher.
