dbHunterNY Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 that's too bad. Muddy is usually good about their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Muddy was bought out. They're part of the family that owns big game.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) The past Big Game cameras all had the control function buttons on the inside, sealed from enviroment. I don't understand why a company would want them external. Costs should be higher to produce. The market place is expanding for other usage other than trail cams. Maybe for inside use only.

phade Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 There is a latch that covers the buttons. External buttons can be made that works. This cam has a rubber gasket that stops short on both sides, causing leak.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Bad design.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Looks like the inside if the browning trail cams, do they use the same shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Same factory but lesser parts clearly.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Replacement cam is working well. Good day pics and decent night images. A little washout on deer up close at night but not bad. Acceptable at price point.Bought a second cam today after the replacement has been working out- the second one leaks as well. That cam is getting returned. Simply too much of a gamble to get a cam that doesn't leak.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
