I bought a Stealth Camera this year and the first time I placed it I got 11 pictures of which 7 turned out real nice of mostly does and a small buck. The next time I checked the camera I had only 7 pictures so I decided to go ahead and have them developed but there was nothing on the film. I figured I didn' t load the film properly and it never advanced. I moved the camera to a different area that had a lot of fresh rubs and a good line of scrapes. I had seen several good bucks in the immediate area and hoped to catch some film of them. I left the camera out for a couple weeks and checked it to find 16 pictures on it. I knew it didn' t take very long for the film to rewind so I was concerned again, and again the film had not advanced. I have checked this time more closely to be sure the film is catching and it appears it will advance this time. Anyone else have this problem?

what kind of film are you using?

how about the batteries?

I use Rayovac Super Heavy Duty Batteries... Dollar Store ....... they work Good..
I also use, 400 speed Kodak..

Havent had a problem.

I sometimes have a problem of the camera rewinding the film when its too cold, or the batteries are low.. I take the camera and warm it up and then manually rewind it...

otherwise... for 68 dollars... I' m satisfied......

I think I saw somewhere not to use Fuji film in these. But then I may be confusing this with another camera. Anyone else remember seeing this?

Whats wrong with the Fuli film?

The only trouble I had with mine was my fault I did not load the film properly and it never advanced.
I had 96 visits to the camera site to boot.

The makers say to use 200 film but with 200 film the pics turn too dark at night.
I have tried 400 film it is a lot better I spoke to a person at the camera shop and they suggested using 800 film so I am gonna try that next.

My only other beef is that you can only get either 24 or 36 exposure film.
With the amount of visits I am getting I think my next camera is going to be a digital one that will take a bucket full of pics.

Can you put your own camera in there? If so, can you use a digital camera with the Stealth Cam?
