Replaced my old trail camera..

Post by Wknwrur »

My old style Moultrie D50 has a white flash that conked out after last fall's hunt. So what to do..make, model, price is all slowly :? taken into consideration. Spring comes along and BP has one on sale. Just before I head out there, check the internet's other stores to see their sales. Patience pays off, I see my old style D50 on sale now for $70. Gonna go get one, but if I wait, it may go on sale even cheaper..... :D

I replaced the flash in one my brother had. If the camera still works you can buy a new flash for about a $1.00 . Very easy to do.

Good idea about replacing the flash, diesel. I'll take the unit apart, see if the flash tube looks the same and see if I can order one locally. To be creative, let's see if my spare camera 'slave flash unit' tube will fit ! If all fails, the old Moultrie will be a day time camera only :roll: . Thanks....

Moultrie makes them.

Never had a flash go on my d-50 but i did put lace over flash to keep the buck from avoiding that camera. plus it also kept out those Giant eye reflections.

Hey, I just got a black flash and you are right, it is pretty awesome. I have the Moultrie Game Spy m-100, and though it is not a Reconyx, I do believe it is the <a href="http://www.bestforhunting.com/best-trai ... ing/">best trail camera for hunting</a> in its price range, considering I can buy two and some SD cards for the price of one Reconyx.
