[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4999318, member: 1409"] Browning Dark Ops? Keep in mind the internal battery meter generally does not work properly with lithium batteries (including the newer Browning cell cams). At some point, you will go from 100% to 0% with a single next video clip. Yes, compared to only a few years ago, battery life is phenomenal, and most cams use fewer batteries as well! It's so nice to only need 6 batteries instead of 12! As to the video clips not draining the batteries as fast as assumed, try doing video on your cell cams ---- "uploading" those video clips will drain things fast! I assume that's one reason the Browning Defender cell cam was designed to use 16 AA batteries, as it was among the first to offer cellular video uploads (at a reasonable price point). Ironically, the Newer Scout Pro model uses 8 batteries yet has longer batter life than the Defender. Lots of good info on this thread! Seems I need to re-think the video vs. stills dilemma. And if you're not additionally doing "field scan" mode to monitor fields and larger plots, this feature has been very enlightening to me in certain applications. With certain cams, you can set them to simply take a pic, say every 1 minute or every 5 minutes, etc. during certain hours of the day (such as early morning & late evening. You can see deer, often make out large antlered bucks, over 200 yds away from the cam. This feature allow you to pick up deer way beyond the cams' relatively short triggering ranges. [/QUOTE]
