[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5644353, member: 1409"] Note: The above referenced Browning [B][I]DEFENDER VISION PRO[/I] SKU [/B]BTC-VP-ATT is a "red glow" type flash, not a true "black" flash. However, since the Browning cams allow for a low intensity flash option ("economy" flash) this flash then becomes either invisible or not visible enough to spook deer right in front of it. The advantage of red glow (most trail cams are red glow) is mainly longer battery life & longer flash range (if not set to "economy" mode) over "black" flash. The advantage of "black" flash is it is totally invisible, which at very close distances, such as a cam set right beside a scrape, can be very helpful. My "workaround" when red flash is used over a scrape is to try to set the cam just a few feet farther from the scrape, and always set the flash to "economy" mode. A little greater distance from cam to animal may be of more value now than whether the flash is red or black. If you're using your cams in video mode, go with black flash only if your target animal is a deer or bear within 30 feet. Of course, [U]flash type is only a potential issue at night[/U], never during daytime. If your cam is for security purposes, I favor black flash simply because humans can't see it, while they might notice a little red speck appear in the darkness. [/QUOTE]
