69$ stealth cam with 200 speed film kodak, because it was on sale last time;)
Fugi works fine also.

Digital stealth cam

Great pics and no film.

Total overall affordability is why I bought this unit.

Just the el cheapo stealth cam with 400 film slightly better pics at night.

Hoping to add a digital Stealth cam in the future.

Built all my own over the past 4 years. Currenty I uses an Olympus D-380 2.0 MP, Sony P32 3.2MP and a Minolta X20 (all digitals).

Why? Because they work better than any commercial unit.

Stealth Cam (the inexpensive one)

I’m in the process of finding out which film works the best! I'll be back in the future to post my findings;)

I just got the cheap Stealth cam. T in Pa Did you use the dirctions off of Jessie's hunting page to make them. How difficult was it. If I have success with the cheap camera I would like to build a digital one.

Had a Moultrie Game Cam II and took it back to Wal-Mart because the thing was a p.o.s.

Had 2 Stealth Cam MC2-G's! Sold one and I broke the other one. Possibly the best bang for the buck unit on the market! I used Kodak Max 400 and 800 speed film!

Now, I have a Non-Typical Cuddeback digital on the way! I can't wait to try it out!

Have plans on building my own digital unit in the near future!

Thanks for the replies so far folks. I am just trying to get a handle on whether or not there is a better film to use in my game cam.

Thanks to you digital guys too. I eventually may head that route.

Those Cuddebacks are awesome. Have not tried the Stealth cam digitals yet, but I have used their film cameras. I am going to strictly digital. May try to build on too.

Is it just me, or does that link for haghouse take you to some art place?

Non-Typical Cuddeback Digital

Non-Typical DC-200 Deercam... Fuju film at 0.86 cents a roll and 3 bucks to develop.. not that big of deal really

Great Results with Both!

I went through an old post and I believe it is www.hagshouse.com

Cuddeback gets my vote.

I had some problems with daytime pics and their quality earlier, but all the pics I had lately have been great.

I also dropped my unit and popped out one the lenses, I sent it back and had it repaired and it was sent back to me within a 10 days, with updated software.

Great company IMO.

Built it two years ago and it still kicks arse. Wish I would have done it in digital. Maybe this year I do another one

It appears the cheap Stealth Cam is ok to use.

member of hagshouse here. I am running 2 digital units now using p32's, x10's and brain units in them. I have 3 in the making now with the new camo dipped boxes. Why, someone stated it beautifully, they kick arse and are better than any commercial unit sold as of now. I just checked mine today and off one camera I got 349 picts over a weeks time using 2 AA batteries that still had 1/4 of there charge in the camera and my nine volt running the brain unit. You guys keep buying those expensive units and one day you too might get the courage to build one. the first one took me a day, the second and third has taken me only 1 hour to get half way done with them. I am waiting on the brain units to finish them out. have about 1 1/2 left to complete them. I will post some picts or you can look at them at hagshouse.com under my screen name might be better as the last time I posted a pict of my unit, I was bashed pretty hard. Good luck in what ever you decide but the homebrews rock!

P.S. goto the picture forum and you can check out the about 6 of todays pictures from my unit.

I made my game cam from info from Jesses Hunting site. The members are real helpful and you can make one from scratch if you like to tinker or you can buy the complete boards and just plug the stuff in. Pixcontroller and Fieldpix are also two that make the kits. Here is Jesse's forum to ask questions and get info.

I have a cheapie Stealth, a $129.00 Stealth and a Leaf River Trailscan. The trailscan takes better pictures with less false triggers, but for th money I don't think the Stealths can be beat.

I use Kodak Max 400 in all of them.
