Love the lightweight easy to use design. Rechargeable batteries , built in light and high resolution camera make it a great quality choice for a good price!

First trail cam for me and glad I held off on picking up a more expensive one. This kit has everything you need to get going and capturing those night time and day time images when you're not able to be 'there'.

Camera came nicely packaged and including batteries, memory card, usb cable, and fastening strap. Controls are on the inside of the unit - note that you can disable the noise when choosing your settings.

Something also worth mentioning is that the directions for this unit specifically recommend against using rechargeable batteries and seem to only recommend alkaline batteries - not sure why, as I prefer rechargeable NiCad batteries for something that will use batteries often.

I think I might pick up one or two more of these as I am so impressed with what I've seen so far.

Lovely little machine and a perfect gift for an outdoorsy friend who has badgers on their property. Unfortunately I overlooked the fact that it doesn't contain rechargeable batteries, which is essential with a device like this as it draws quite a bit of power from the 6 x 1.5v AA batteries which are not included consumed, and I assume this has helped keep the price down compared to comparable, more expensive devices. If you want to record video or take photos you'll also need an SD card, which is to be expected and not necessary if you intend to use regular binoculars. Nice feature, but not a necessity. Very easy to use and very clear optics but it's amazing to be able to click through the different infrared intensity levels and suddenly be able to see even on the darkest nights where wildlife can be seen brightly, it really is quite magical. Overall very satisfied for the money paid.

This is our first metal detector & it is SO much FUN!

We keep finding metal objects in our yard, that were left behind by the previous owners, & I have stepped on a few of them. They seem to be in a general area where we believe they had bonfires. I want to avoid anyone else stepping on the foreign metal objects & thought it would be HELPFUL to have a metal detector.

I read several Amazon reviews & decided upon this metal detector.

Assembly took hubby all of 5 minutes, if that. We installed 2 rechargeable 9v batteries, & went to work.

The detector is USER FRIENDLY (even for a newbie to detecting), it detects ALL metal, & feels SOLID, & works WELL.
It has a CASE to store/transport it in, though you do need to REMOVE the detector screen to store the metal detector in the carrying case.

All you have to do is detach the wiring harness, which is a 2 second process.

The detector comes with the manual, detector pieces, a carrying case, AND a handy FOLDING hand shovel, which even has it's own separate storage pouch, which is great because it keeps dirt from off the shovel OUT of the main case.

As shown in the video, it is VERY easy to select ALL metal types. Tap the SET button TWICE & then ENTER, and you are READY to detect.

It has a screen backlight, which you can leave off to conserve battery life. It also has VOLUME settings & the CAPABILITY of adding a headset, should you desire (headset NOT included).

The unit feels SOLID, though NOT terribly heavy, it can tire your arm out if you use it for a long time (especially for a newbie like me).

Battery life is GREAT, with our USB rechargeable batteries (NOT included). The batteries were half charged when we installed them & still were about the same when we finished using it about 2 hours later. It is GREAT being able to use rechargeable batteries in it, to save money.

The ARM REST is COMFORTABLE & the ARM STRAP is SECURE, which makes for a comfortable exploring experience. My older/taller kids can use it without any issue (tween plus) when using the ARM REST, as they are 5' & taller. My shorter kids can use it too, though they can't use the arm rest because they are too short, it does NOT stop them. lol

Overall, we are VERY happy with the metal detector. It has SUCCESSFULLY found various items in the old bon fire area, like screws, nails, pennies, shards of metal, etc. VERY grateful those are pieces of metal, etc that will NOT be going into my feet, nor that of my hubby, kids, or critters.

This is a GREAT starter detector & also seems like it would also be great for the SEASONED metal adventurer too. Not sure what else one would need in a detector, because this seems to have it all.

HAPPY with our purchase!

We WOULD purchase it again.

It works really well. It is small and you can put it in your pocket when you pull it. A plus is that it's rechargeable so you don't have to spend more on batteries.

The best quality is the rechargeable battery, which unlike other batteries I've had, holds the charge so I have to keep changing batteries after an hour of use. Image quality is great, as is the number of display modes and options.

My husband is a hunter, and has multiple trail cameras out in the woods. However, he has struggled with them sending him pictures and or the camera not getting good photos due to the angle. Most of the other trail cameras are over $100, not including the batteries or SD card. This camera came with 4 batteries (although it needed 8) and an SD card. It also had an LCD screen, so you can see the angle that the camera is facing which comes in handy if you don't live where you have your cameras hung, so you can see what direction the pictures will be taken when the camera is hung, rather than after the fact.

Will update the review once pictures are received from the camera and downloaded. So far, 5/5 stars for the features it has.

The market is currently being flooded with trail cameras... and they're all kind of the same. I now have five in use and I see the problem with this model that the stored date is apparently forgotten when the batteries are empty and has to be reset accordingly. So it depends on the battery life. Only 4 batteries have to be installed here - the running time is again sufficiently long due to the mono flash.
In my experience, the quality of the photos and videos is in the upper middle class - the quality of the night photos with a presentably good illumination is even exceptionally good.
