Cuddeback “NO Flash” vs “EXpert”

Does both model have the exactly the same trigger speed? I have Leaf River IR camera but the problem with this unit has slow trigger speed. I am thinking of buying a new cuddeback camera. I need your advise and opinion which model should I buy? I am concerned the most is the flash may spook the deer?

Thanks!

I think the no flash and the expert have the same trigger speed, I have a cuddeback thats an older model,, and I dont think the flash spooks deer, I have lots of pics of big bucks that stand there for multiple pics and it doesnt seem to bother them,, but Ive also used game cams for 6 or 7 years now, and they have all grown up around it, on my place at least. I think the film advance on 35 mm cams spooked them a little, but thats a thing of the past, not too many people are still using them since you can buy a digital almost as cheap. I have a buddy with the no flash and he loves it, but im just am not too impressed with the nighttime pics, They are clear and all, but I just dont like the black and white, with mine I get bright color pics at night just like in daytime.I am planning to buy an Expert in another month or so. I dont think you could go wrong with either one,, but like you said some people think the flash spooks game, but it doesnt seem to on my farm. Hope I helped some.

This close to the end of the year! wait until 07 and see what cuddeback does to upgrade their no flash...like maybe the option of no flash or flash...diffreent way to install batteries...patience my friend

Thanks for the reply. I am planning to purchase another camera this spring of 2007. More likely I will buy cuddeback camera with no flash because it will prevent from thief to see the flash and steal it.

Build your own 1 second trigger better quality picts. less money infared
(no flash) if ya chose and the camera can be removed and used for whatever when wanted! and over 200 pictures with 2 good rechargable AA's

Hows this for trigger speed and sensitivity? caught the feeder going off?

RE: cuddeback
 

Depends on how long the feeder is set to spin for.5 second. Well then that would be fantastic trigger speed. 30 seconds,then it wouldn't be so out of this world fast.

The sensitivity is definately there though.

Cuddeback definitely has a top of the line camera IMO. I just can't find myself spending the money. I would love to have one though.

Like I said it triggers in 1 second!

I have heard the trigger on the no flash is slower but I do not know that for certain. I would reconsider buying a cuddeback if I were you. Yes they do make a good camera but if you have ANY problems you will have one HELL of a time getting a hold of them to send it back in. Then all they seem to want is more money to "Upgrade" you. With ALL cameras you will have some that need work. They sit out side in rain and snow. If you have $400 to spend on a camera that you might only get 2 years out of then get one. Otherwise look somewhere else.

Trigger is much slower on the no flash cudde. Almost 3 seconds slower.

Pretty fast trigger. Look what my home brew cam caught last year during the rut. Not sure how fast he was coming around that corner but my camera caught him. I gotthe doe he was chasinga few mins before butshe wasn't moving as fastas he was.

That is one cool picture! he sure was hookin it

Thanks. To bad that was Feb 2nd and the season ended Jan 31. I saw this deer 3 times during bow season last year and couldn't get him to cooperate. He's a 10pt. No one saw him during gun season until this pick which was taken 2 days after it closed. SHEWWW! was my first thought! He's still alive this year. I saw him this past saturday morning at 90yds with my bow. He is alot bigger. I guessed him at 125+/- in this pic. He is going to be close to 140 this year..maybe more. He's still a 10pt with more mass a little bigger spread and alot longer tines. His wide brows give him away. We've never seen or harvested a deer with brows that far apart. I'll post a pic if I get him on my cam or with an arrow or gun. Btw this is a south alabama deer. Not bad huh!
