2013 DLC Covert MP6 Black

[phade]

Basic Features

 

Three res settings...8MP is the highest.

Black Flash - range of 40' illumination

Up to three pic burst and a video option

Time lapse

 

Impression:

 

Cam soaked for two weeks or so. I was impressed with the pic quality. I believe it's actually the same camera (actual camera portion) as the 2012 Black 60 - just with fewer LEDS to fire and packed into the 2012 MP6 body.

 

Daytime pics are great and nighttime pics are what I call "good". The night pics are usable and motion blur is about the same level as the black 60 and on par with the higher-level black flash cams out there. It's black flash and has slightly less illumination than the bigger body Black 60, so that needs to be taken in context.It is also a legit entry level black flash cam. It would be a good "only" cam for someone or even for someone who wants to test out black flash. I have quite a few cams and I have no qualms about it performance wise. It also very small and compact.

 

Trigger speed is always good. Three pics in 1.5 seconds or so.

 

I did make a mistake...I somehow put the cam on high sensitivity. Which, in my experience is a big no-no with Covert cams as they are sensitive compared to most other cams (good thing imo). I also placed it in the worst possible place to put a cam with high sensitivity...reed grass. Guess what happened? 7,600 pictures in two weeks of those stupid things blowing in the wind. Dummy me. The good news - cheap AA batteries ( costing me about $2.00. And...battery meter was still showing full bars after 7,600 pics. Safe to say this cam will last a LONG time on a set of batteries.

 

Sample pics are taken at 5MP, the mid-level setting.

Got a Covert MP6 coming in the mail to me in a few days. After dealing with POS truth cam 35's for the past few years, I'm excited to try it out.

They are very nice pictures

[landtracdeerhunter]

Nice pics! That cam is available for $130, shipping included. Are their better deals on'em?

[phade]

Is that from wing supply? If that's still up there...buy it. They screwed up on their website. I believe that should have been pricing on the regulat mp6.

[landtracdeerhunter]

Wing supply on Ebay. Looks like the 2013 model with the 28 LEDs.

Opps, my mistake, not the Blackout. The 2013 MP6 Black on their site is $130 + SHIP, but, backordered. Keep looking.

i have two of the mp6 blacks.  Putting them out next week.  Looking to get two more coverts but not sure the money is worth moving up to the code black?  Not sure the extra money is worth the hd video?  any thoughts Phade?

[phade]

Knowing your use and the effort you put into your land...getting a pair of black 60 to use would be worth it. Video over scrapes or trails will be useful to you. I'm looking at my first batch of videos from my 13 black 60 now.

Hit post too early...for code black...get one for security purposes or to monitor movements. Remember that you can only use the code black at a one min setting.

Reason why it shows out of stock (not backordered) is because its the wrong price - but shipping on that cam from WS is about $12-13 on top of that price. The cam retails for $169. Ebay has them for $149 or so sometimes from some sellers.
