dont sound bad.. but why not build your own???..ill take a good homebrew any day over any moultrie..penn..stealth...the ham

The delay settings would steer me away. The shortest delay is 1 minute between pics which seems like an eternity compared to 5 or 10 second delays from some of the homebrews. I see that in multi-shot mode it will take 3 pics each after 15 seconds but that still seems long compared to other homebrew boards.

Another thing is that it runs on 6-D batteries. Those things will add a considerable amount of weight and without knowing how long they will last, I'd be wary.

Just my $.02.

A friend of mine had two of these,,,,notice I said had. Both of them were stolen. Homebrews will get stolen but they do tend to offer more security than other cameras. I think the trick is to move the homebrew weekly if in a public area. Most retail cameras can be stolen with just a pocket knife.

Or if the are cuddetrash, just give them a good yank.

Someone posted about the new stealth...the trigger was suppose to be great..the picts looked good..but WAY spendy....close to $500 I think.

I cant speak for the D40 model, but I can the I40 model, its fast, less than 2 seconds day/night.

The multimode shooting is slow, 3 pics about 40-45 seconds.

Its kinda big too, but the batteries last a long time. Its not real secure, plastic(not much) holds it to the tree, I had a steel cage built for mine, yet another thing to haul around........... previous posting is correct about homebrews.

Personally, I'd favor HCO ScoutGuard SG550.
