never used any of them but if you call Elusive Wildlife then they can help and give some good information on the products. i have been to their store in Conroe and they were very helpful. they will let you know if something is good or better and not just because they sell the stuff.

One our guys use one on his feeder and he says it uses the heck out of a battery(the remote does for some reason).

I have used both the "Remote" and the "Wildgame Innovations" version at academy. Both work well from about 75 to 100 yards away. Problem I had was battery drain on the Wildgame one. My solar panel couldn't keep up and keeping the battery charged was a problem. And on the "Remote", had much less battery drain but still some battery drain. IF you buy either one re-charge your battery every few months and you are probably fine. Or maybe add another solar panel. The one that I used the "Remote" on, may have had a bad solar panel connection but all I know is since I disconnected and replaced the solar panel, no more battery drain. If money is no problem get The Remote. If not get the other but you will have to recharge your battery ever few months is my guess.

Hope this helps.

I have the wildgame innovations remote, received as gift and like all their Crap don't waste your money. My feeder is 71 yards away and can't get it to work. Drains the heck out of the feeder battery and I have no idea why.
