[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5715416, member: 1409"] I had, have had, or have 3 Tactacams (one of which is the Reveal X-Pro). They all have slow trigger speeds, and are the least liked cell cams in my arsenal. Tactacams eat batteries. I'm running mostly Brownings but do have several true black-flash Ridgetecs. The Ridgetecs are more reliable and more feature-rich than the Brownings. Ridgetecs cell plans are lower cost than either Browning or Tactacam. I have friends who "like" numerous other brands such as Spartan & Reconyx. Most of my friends were[I] INITIALLY [/I]favorably impressed with Tactacams. All have lost their enthusiasm and are now replacing Tactacams with other brands. The issue of "best" is a matter of perspective. "Best" what? Up-front price at point of purchase? Lower up front cost can be negated by cheaper cams having shorter batter life and more expensive cell plans. Lastly, it's hard to put a price on reliability to capture the most important pics when something trots past your cam. Those with slow trigger speeds tend to miss a lot. I have friends making the case that Reconyx actually costs less over several years than most other options. Closest thing to Reconyx's reliability and long-term value might be the Ridgetecs & Spartans. Unless I'm mistaken (good chance) Browning's current 2023 cell cam offerings do not include a true black flash model. However, their red-glow models set to "low" or "economy" generally will not be noticed by deer. [/QUOTE]
