Infrared vs Conventional Flash
Thu, 12/01/2011 - 20:45
 
So I was curious what everyone's opinion is in trail camera flash. I have a trail camera with Infrared and one with conventional flash but I haven't had the one with conventional flash out yet. I have heard a lot of people claim the conventional flash scares the animals and strongly advise against it. What are your opinions? |
Hey man Iv used a lot of cameras with the conventional flash and never had a problem yet with scaring anything away. I got multiple pictures of the same animal standing there while the flash is going off. I wouldnt worrie about it.
i have used both and havent not noticed a difference in the field just a difference on the price tag the conventional flash is just as good as the infrared i think anyway
I have used flash and IR cameras. Sometimes I think the flash spooks game. However, it doesn't always. For example in my blacktail deer spot I had my old Wildview on a trophy rock and I got a ton of pictures of a the same doe and fawn. Then I had the same camera in a good elk crossing and after about 3 weeks they seemed to dissappear. Call it coincidence or just elk being elk. I just don't want to miss seeing a good buck/elk because I was too cheap to invest in an IR camera.
When in doubt I would buy an IR! You don't have to go high dollar. I have been using Stealth Cameras that were less thant $100. I bought 4 and only one was a POS.
Good luck guys! Trail cams rule.
