[See UPDATE] ok trail cam with a few cons.
[UPDATE]
- K&F Concept contacted me and inform of new changes/upgrades to their trail cam. They also adjusted the selling price to makes this cam more competitive.
- Also this makes me feels more certain about their after-sales customer support, which is a crucial decision when making a purchase. I would rather pay a bit more knowing that the company stand behind their product 100%.
- Add 1Star in overall rating for the after-sale customer service support.
**********
- I was excited to try out the K & F Concept trail camera to see how it stacked against my 2 other trail cams. I have a few K&F Concept brands for my photography so this is a brand that I knew. Unfortunately, it didn’t fare well against my 2 other trail cams.
- But let’s get to the good point: Video and Photo quality, which is on par to my other trail cams and so no complaint about it. It’s quite good for a trail cam.
- Now the not so good point. The design. The trail cam only uses 4xAA batteries to power the unit. While it’s ok, my other trail cams have an extra slot for another 4xAA batteries for double the working time. Another trail cam I own has an internal battery, solar charging panel and extra slot for 4xAA batteries too. So this trail K&F Trail cam is lacking when compared to my other 2 cams.
- NOTE: There is an option for you to run the trail cam by plugging in. To do that, you’d need a connector with a rounded/barrel plug. It uses 6V 1A to run the cam.
- As for the memory, The package I ordered comes with a 32GB memory card. The type of memory card is an SD type, not micro-sd like my other trail cams. This doesn’t really matter much as both types of memory cards work the same way, the only thing different is the size. That’s all. Not a bad point, but just to point out for those who wonder what type of memory card it uses.
- The Camera comes with a strap for you to strap to structures or tree trunks. I have a slot on the bottom to screw in a mount or tripod mount, but this doesn’t include any mount at all. My other 2 cameras include a mount and so I prefer K&F includes a mount along with the strap. Too bad they didn’t.
- Finally, the price. It’s the most expensive one I own so far. The price of $169 (at the time of review, including all savings) is a big spending for me. The lack of extra ways to power the device and the high price is just a big barrier for me to consider this over my other trail cams. For price comparison, my current trail cams cost 23% and a whopping 40% less than this K&F trail cam. It’s hard for me to justify spending that much.
