[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5500519, member: 1409"] As previously stated, I have 4 of the Ridgetec Lookouts currently in use, and, yes, it is true invisible "black" flash, and the range is very good. IMO, those Browning Spec Ops HP 4 & 5's may very well be the best overall value out there when it comes to non-cell trail cams. I really like them, and that's all I currently plan to add to the non-cell lineup in the future. They particularly shine above their competitors in video mode & battery life. Most of the Browning [B][I][U]cell[/U][/I][/B] models currently on the market are not black flash. However, they have a "low" setting that deer typically cannot see. I can highly recommend the Browning Pro Scout (flash set to "low" or "economy") in lieu of a true black flash cam. If used in video mode, I would want true black flash. Around a year ago, Browning did come out with a true black flash model called the Ridge[I][U]LINE[/U][/I]. These have an internal antennae, and don't seem to get reception as well as other models, so therefore, I cannot recommend them unless you have really good cell service. By contrast, the [U]Ridge[B]tec[/B] Lookout[/U] does well in poor reception, in part due to its dual external antennae, which can be easily extended (as high as you want) with an optional easily attached cable. But, the Browning Pro Scout and the Tactacams all seem to work in poor service areas, typically uploading pics when I can't even get service on my phone. The only model I've had reception issues with over the past few years (limited to these 3 brands) has been the Browning Ridge[I]LINE[/I]. I also have 4 of the Browning Ridge[I]LINES[/I], and really like them, just can't place them in low reception areas. [/QUOTE]
