Browning Trail Cameras Strike Force HD Pro X with Card Reader

So first off, very happy with my purchase.My previous trail cam was a cheap brand from a box store, nothing special, poor resolution, and died after a couple seasons. My initial impulse was to try one of the cheap no name knock offs you can find here on Amazon. However, our family relies heavily on the game I'm able to provide for our food for the year. So I decided to spend a little bit more.Pros;Great day and night pictures.Amazing battery life!Very easy to use.Helps me tremendously with hunting.Cons;I don't really have any.The SD card placement is a slight annoyance, not a big deal really.Some folks I've seen complain about the browning software. This doesn't have an impact on my review because I don't use it. May be worth looking into if you want to use those features though.So yeah, very pleased with my purchase. Definitely recommend. Happy hunting!

What I like: I like trail cameras from Browning. They last longer than other cameras from well know companies. The picture quality in the daytime is very nice. The camera is easy to program.What I do not like. The case the batteries fit in ejects rather quickly and easily. This is nice until the eject button for the battery compartment is inadvertently hit or pusheed. On my camera this drops the battery case to where it fit flush with the bottom of the body of the camera. Snug it in until it clicks and before youy shut the gate make sure you do not hit eject.Overall this is a nice camera for those that do not want a cellular camera. I leave mine out year round for the most part and the batteries do last for months.

We got this camera after noticing that the Campark trail cam was missing a lot of the wildlife that came through our back yard. We placed this next to that camera and the Browning picks up so much more that the Campark. Video resolution is pretty good, both in night view and daytime. We haven’t tried taking any still photos since we like observing wildlife behavior but I would assume quality to be similar or better. It is easy to use and construction is pretty high quality. If I had any complaints, it would be that the SD card is difficult to remove sometimes. A pair of tweezers eliminates that issue. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a wildlife camera.

The media could not be loaded.  I bought the camera to take videos of the animals visiting our woods at night. Eventually, I was able to obtain high quality of videos of raccoons, possums, skunks, deer, and foxes. The problem was the length of the videos dropped from 20 seconds to two seconds as the battery level dropped slightly. I contacted Browning and learned that night videos required the use of lithium batteries. If that had been in the instructions, I would not have wasted much time and many batteries. If that had been in the instructions, I would have given the product a five star review.I had a good comparison because I started with a camera costing half as much and which proved to be defective. I returned it and gave it a one star rating. Then the seller said I would be given a new camera, if I first raised the rating to five stars. I only right honest reviews.Update: I have used the camera for two weeks with the six lithium batteries. They still have lots of charge. The camera has been taking great night videos in subfreezing temperature.

Good camera and loooong battery life. Animals can see the infrared lights at night though. Makes hogs freeze in their tracks and foxes run away from it. Sometime I’ll update the review with some footage.

I've been really happy. Video quality is excellent and we've captured a huge range of wildlife far exceeding my expectations. Like many trail cams it sometimes gets triggered accidentally, but it's not a big deal. Lag is very short and Battery life is great. My only major gripe is that the SD card slot is too close to the edge of the housing and it can be exceedingly difficult to pop the card out. Also, it would have been nice if the security cable hole went through the door latch, because nothing stops someone from stealing your SD card, even if the cam is securely cable locked

I got these cameras for my husband for Christmas. (He picked them out) He says these are the best game cameras ever. He has had many different brands. He is even asking for another one for his birthday this month! If you need a game camera give this one a try! You won't be disappointed.

The camera itself may be considered an average player. While still photos are of a good quality, the video is not as good as one may expect looking at the price even at the highest quality settings. Many cheaper cameras from below $100 price range do better video so I consider this one to be really overpriced for its video quality.But the major !!!! issue is with the design of its SD card slot which leaves you only 1/32 of inch between the card and camera body rim and only 1/4 of inch between one side of the card and the body extension with AC socket. This design makes it absolutely impossible to extract a card without a precise work with tweezers or small pliers unless you have super small and slender fingers with long nails. I absolutely cannot understand other positive reviews noticing this absolutely horrible usability flaw as 'The SD card placement is a slight annoyance, not a big deal really.'Just imagine a situation when you are in a mid of twilight wood simply wanting to replace the card to view offline what's been shot and leave the camera with a fresh card inserted. Good luck for a brave one to do this with thin tweezers trying not to drop and lose the card!!! Especially if the camera is in not an easily accessible location which may be a usual case for real outdoor use...
