stealth cam(stinks)
my cam will not advance the film no matter what. i worked and worked on it today using everything that i have learned on the forum. i am sending it to them and buying a new one. the camera is so cheap....i should have known. i cannot get the E off the led. it does register passes by the sensor. i had 12 passes and b4 had 22. i am going to buy the one with the olympus in it from bass pro.

RE: stealth cam(stinks)
So far both of mine work fine. I have had an E on mine because I accidently moved the switch to 'off' and it lost track of what I had programed. So I called slealth and the guy told me in 2seconds how to take care of it.
If you got a bad one, thats a bummer. But I tried to look back at previous posts to see what type error you had and could not find your first thread. My point is that rather than trying what folks suggest on the internet, just call stealth and ask them first hand.
If you already did that.....great. But if you haven't you should, because they may offer to replace the camera for you if they cannot walk you thru the process. They were excellent in helping me.

They paid for me to send mine in, and I'm getting a new one. Hope it works, if not, Stealth will get dogged, and dogged, and dogged.

RE: stealth cam(stinks)
I know stealth takes care of you folks on replacements and all and thats great,but there isnt another camera on the market that has all the problems that the stealth does.I mean is it really worth the aggravation putting up with the thing just to save a couple bucks?Yeah I know some of you never ever had a problem and ya know what,if that is the truth then you are lucky,plain and simple.This thing is cheap junk and I would never ever recommend it to anyone.....Just my 2cents which is a penny more than the stealth is worth.

LeeinVA hit it on the head.
I had similar problems until I noticed the film was not getting caught up and wound around the right spool. There is a little plastic guide that comes out of some of the cameras.
Just make sure the film is wrapping up and you'll have no more woes like that.
Good luck!!

RE: stealth cam(stinks)
I think you have me mixed up with lemond33.I would never own a stealth.I have been building my own trail cams way before stealth came along.Dont take my word for it,look around at the other forums,one bad post after another.Sure once in a while there is a problem with a cuddeback,or a moultrie but I guarantee there are many mant posts on these stealth cams and what a piece of junk they are.Good luck.You'll need it.

RE: stealth cam(stinks)
Gotta agree hear,, i went through four of em,, just kept takin them back to wal mart,, finaly on number four, i talked to someone from the company,, they told me i didnt know what i was doing,, well ive got two other brands,, and i think i know how to set a camera,, so i just got a refund and used the money for something worthwhile
