Actually, I don't have the solar panel yet. I have it on order ($110.00 from cabela's)but just called the company(stealth) and they said it would be mid July before they have shipped them. I thought it was expensive but after going through two sets of lithium batteries...I'm thinking not so expensive.
I will say that now that you mention it mine did have a hard time showing me where the test area was. I remember while trying it out that it was only showing the flashing light to about 15 feet or so BUT some of the pictures I have are picking up animals at really far distances. I am attaching one. I know it's kind of hard to see but the deer in the back of the picture is across a small ravine. I laser ranged a tree at the same distance and got 34 yards.
