Thinking about buying some primo cameras does any one have any feedback positive or negative about them?

I have the mid level primos cams I had one that would shut itsself off when battery life was at 70%, I called primos and they were great !!! they replaced it with a new one free of charge , they take good pics . I just set one last week on video mode for the first time so we will see how that works out , all in all Im very pleased with them

I bought three of the #46 last year and no problems as of yet. Set them up with feeder batteries and solar chargers. Take some pretty good pics. It is pretty adjustable. Only think I did not like was that it jumps from 1 minute to thirty minutes between pics. Wish it had 5 minute setting between them. I think it does 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 minute, and 30 minutes.

My buddy and I have 2 of the X cams between us and I have to of the 60's. The 60's have never missed a lick but they make noise when taking pics. The X cams are a different story. When they work they are great, it's keeping them working that is a pain. Both have been replaced twice and we are currently waiting for the 3rd replacement of both. Primos has been good to take care of replacing them but man it's getting old. Run away pictures(1), off/set/on switch breaking off (3 times) and the display going out(2).

The one minute to 30 minuet on my 36 is a real problem for me as I prefer 5 min.

Me too, that is the only thing that I do not like on this camera.

I just bought a 60 and put it out on a trail Friday. Hopefully will be able to tell you in a few weeks how well it works.

what solar charger did you use for it......i have the 30?or lowest on and do you think it would work for that?

i have had good pics with mine, except for last week i went and checked and nothing was recorded? was down to 70 percent batteries and dont know what happened. i know there was stuff there cause i have 2 cameras in the pen.

Does your camera take 4 "D" batteries? If so that is 6 volts. I used a regular feeder battery with mine and a 6 volt solar charger mounted on a 30 cal ammo box. Solar panels was bought at Academy and happened to be Wild Game brand.

I like the one I have. And yes the trigger timer settings are lacking. Why they have those odd presets I dont understand. I would like to be able to set what time I want 1,5,10,15 min etc.
