[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5633958, member: 1409"] TrailCamPro has started testing the [B]Browning Defender Vision Pro[/B] cell cam. So far, so good. Although this is a red glow cam, I've found that if the flash is set on "economy" mode, close up deer typically don't seem to notice the flash. I normally only add true black flash units, but due to this "economy" mode option setting, the Browning red-glow cams can substitute. I may actually prefer them on large fields and food plots where I really don't care if the flash causes the deer to keep a greater distance after an exposure or two. IMO, Browning initially goofed when they came out with the "Ridgeline" series cell cams because of it's INTERNAL antennae. I've personally found the reception sub-par to every other cam I use with external antennas. But Browning solved that problem with this Defender Vision "Pro" model, as it has a port for an external antennae. That said, assuming you have really good cell service where used, not having an external antennae is actually beneficial because they are easily broken off by coons or broken/lost/stolen by humans. So this new Browning cell cam is giving you a choice via just using the built-in antenna, or easily attaching an external antenna (which you may optionally run several feet higher for better reception than antennas simply at same level as the cam). You can follow the review as this cam gets tested over the coming weeks. The initial circuit test makes it appear this cell cam has phenomenal battery life of over 14 months! Even more phenomenal considering it only uses 8 AA batteries. Most of my currently used cell cams using 12 AA batteries will not last 6 months before going dead. Can save time on money when 8 AA batteries last twice as long. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.trailcampro.com/products/browning-defender-vision[/URL] My hope is that Browning will soon come out with an alternate model of this cell cam utilizing true black flash. I will generally only use a true black flash cam on scrapes, while red flash "can" be acceptable in other situations (even preferred in some due to it's greater range and less motion blurring).
