I'm new the forum but I just wanted to put my input on the solar panel. I had purchased one not to long ago and it seems to be doing the trick. I placed it where it would get sun from about high noon(had the same concern about east/west, but stealth assured me aslong as the panel has sunlight hitting the pannel, your camera will stay charged). I do have one little gripe about the camera though. My first attempts with the camera had gotten a lot of "rump pics." I have read some of the forums saying to back the camera up and did so, but havent had a chance to return to my property to see the results. As far as batteries, I had brand new lithiums(energizer), so I now it was charged. I was curious if the cam takes to long to charge the flash, or something else I might be missing(i did move the cam back to about 13 ft from center). Curious i any of you have had similar problems and what other cams are like compared to the Stealth. Thanks again[&:]
