Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

Posted are pictures from my Wildview that I purchased for $50.00 from Wal-Mart. This is probably the bottom of the barrel digital camera out there but if you want to get started on seeing what's eating your corn,salt block, or deer lickand your on a budget this will work for you.

I'll post up more pictures as hunting season (Archery Deer/ Fall Turkey)approaches.

Here ya go.

Pros:
CHEAP!!!
User friendly, easy set up
Has a 8MB internal memory or can use SD Cards
Able to upload photos in the field with USB cord. (I carry my laptop)
Takes pictures up to 40 yds in day light.

Cons:
Takes 4 "C" batteries. Only last 2 weeks!!!
No Date / Time Stamp
Slow snap shot. I'm talking 5 seconds later!!
Objects need to be 5yds in the dark to get a bright picture.

not bad pics for $ 50 .

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

I would save up money before I bought a wildview. Poor quality

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

The quality may not be as good as the upper end cams but they have there use not everyone can afford a $ 200 or $300 camera . I own the $ 98 D 40 from walmart it was all i can afford but it works for me !

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

I was like 17 when I bought my 1st camera. I just saved up for it cause I knew it would be better than a cheaper one.

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

You got some real good pics on the Tril Cam . Thanks for posting them . DICK's Sporting Goods also had the Wildview STC-TLG1 for $50 and Wildview has a $10 REBATE on the camera plus I had a $10 coupon to use at DICKs so the camera was $30 . Sweet deal ...........

PICTURES LOOK GOOD FOR A 30.00 SET-UP. I'VE BEEN USING 2 HIGHLANDER PHOTOSCOUT FILM CAMERA'S FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROLEM WITH EITHER OF THEM. THEY HAVE A REMOVEABLE 35MM CANON CAMERA AND A COMPLETELY WATERPROOOF BODY WHICH TAKE EXCELLENT PICTURES. I JUST ORDERED ONE OF THE NEWER MODEL CUDDEBACK EXPERT ALONG WITH A BEAR SAFEAND WANT TO GET A NO FLASH. I'M NOT SURE WETHER TO GET THE NEW UPDATED CUDDEBACK NO FLASH OR ORDER THE NEW CUDDEBACK CAPTURE. THEY ARE BACKORDERED ON CALBELAS FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. THEY ALSO HAVE THE NEW BEAR SAFES FOR THE NEW CAPTURE. ONE THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE 25 FOOT NO FLASH RANGE BUT IT HAS 3.0 MP FOR NIGHT AND DAY INSTEAD OF THE 1.3ON THENO FLASH FOR NIGHT PICTURES. ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE????

Ya, I hear you ED. Does that hurt your eyes or something. Sorry.

Very nice pics. I've seen pics from $300.00+ cams that were not much if any, better. Good luck and have funwith your cam. :) You can download a free 30 day trial version of a time/date stamp programhere.

Should work with your pics. If not, you're not out anything.

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

You have an awesome amount of Trail Cam pics . Thanks for posting the link . I thought I was gonna get Carpal Tunnel clicking on them ! ;) ;)

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

I know how you feel. Originally I had250 pictures in the 3 days the camera was out there and Iwent through each one to delete just pictures of the ground. This is what I meant about slow snap shot.


All in all the camera did it's job. I just want to know what's around and if I need to spend $200-$400 to show me a clear picture that then I need glasses.

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

I have one of their 3.0's and it takes descent pic's but the flash is only good for about 15' and the area I was trying to cover, it just was not working out. I replaced it with a D-40 and have had better luck with the flash about 25'. As for the quality, your 1.8 takes better pic's than the 3.0, however I still use it, I just put it in a place that didn't need as much flash.....Congrats on the camera and all the pic's....

More pictures uploaded from the 10th -12th. I discovered 2 velvets and multiple gobblers. I also discovered that uploaded on photobucket shrinks the pixels which makes my pictures worse then they really are. O'well

Dont mind ed, he is just an ass, i hate people who cant find nothing better to do the freaking complain about someone using caps, wah wah wah what a crybaby,
i think the bigger letters are easier to read,

just my o

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

i think your camera takes good pics , unless your going to print your pics and hang them on the wall that camera will work fine to see what you have passing throught your woods,
i think if you work on your camera angles a bit you will get some great pics, i tried all kinds of angles i like mine best at knee hight facing down a trail about 5 ft off to the side, but find what works for you ,also another perk i found by putting the camera low is you get smaller animals like coons, opossums, rabbit, fox, ext,

thanks for the pic and keep them coming
dr kill

RE: Wildview STC-TGL1 version 1.8 (pics/review)
 

How's it going DR KILL? I agree on the angle 100%. As of now the camera is on my feeder set @ 4ft. tilted slightly down. I realize I'm cutting off on yardage and what's directly below (hence alot of backsides). There's no other trees but the wood line that surrounds the feeder which is 60 yds away. Actually I have the feeder straped up to a HUGE!! tree for added support. More then likely I'll purchase a camera support like the AT-5 or Trail Pod tree mount.

Thanks for looking.

More pics updated: (60 pics) from 07/13 - 07/18

I through a salt block out to see if it attracts. The little buck loves it and it seems to rub off on the does. I also have an homemade brew on the ground that they seem to attract to. It's on the right side of the block. Here's the rescipe.

This makes 5 gallons-
5 Gallon bucket
Boil about 3 gallons of water - Boiling water will dissolve more of the ingredients
6 lbs Iodized salt
2 cups Baking Soda (1 lb box)
1.5 Cups Baking Powder (10 oz. can)
18 oz. Molasses (1 bottle)
Potassium Gluconate (20 - 500mg Tablets) 1 bottle
Magnesium (10 - 250mg Tablets) 1 bottle

Add more water to fill the bucket (about another 2 gallons)

Clear about a 2ft. patch of ground - minor dirt disturbance to aid absorption.
Slow Siphon the concoction into the disturbed earth (Air Line for Fish Aquariums works great!). Slow siphoning allows deeper penetration and keeps the liquid more concentrated in the desired area. As the liquid cools some of the ingredients may precipitate out of solution - not a problem - pour that stuff right on top of the wet soil.
