exodus sp-18 vs tactacam solar panel after season review | bco review |

[@trevorsecord6854]

I had the tactacam and HME 12volt with solar out from June until end December with no problems

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Sounds like that’s the better panel!

[@robdhunter]

Same

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I got that you’ve already commented 🤣 once again happy to hear they weren’t a waste of money for someone!

[@bvsproductions9021]

What size what size port do i need for running the sp18 with my reveal? Is the port on the sp18 4x1.7? I know the render is bigger, i can figure that out later

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I’m not sure off the top of my head but the sp-18 is designed for the exodus cameras so whatever they use

[@kipneva1629]

Does anyone have a part number for the cord or adapter to hook the reveal sk.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I’m assuming you could just buy it from Tactacam I’d check herd 360 honestly they tell you which cords you need Here is a link to the cord on Amazon (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/dp/B0BSR3FTGX/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_T7413FX89AFBSV3SATMN?linkCode=ml2&tag=bluecollaro09-20

I just got a Reveal 3 pro a couple months ago with solar panel and an internal lithium battery pack. Mine is in the woods. Camera set on timely/immediate. I get about average 5 pics a day. My solar panel charge died at right around 30 day after I put in service. I’m not to impressed with it.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Tactacam solar panels & lithium battery packs literally blow

[@dheller777]

I have both and have not had any problems out of either one.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s what we like to hear!

[@gardencornrobber]

How cold did it get? I have the SK and the moment it got below zero the little panel could not keep up charging then the battery would no longer charge until i warmed it up. Now i bought the panel on tactacams advice and realized it only works to -4 degrees. Probably have the same problem once its cold and the power gets all used up.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Ya that’s pointless to have round where I hunt most panels I own work flawlessly year round even when it got in the double digits negatives no issue Only panel I’ve ever had that was just trash was the Tactacam panels Currently I use all herd 360 panels

[@ihus9950]

Is that the latest Tactacam Solar Panel? Just purchased one, I'm hopeful it works Thanks 👍🏻

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I’m not sure check the dates on this video!

[@KTMsoldier1988]

Got 3 tacatcams with solar panels and my dad has 2 with solar panels and all 5 of our cameras have been rolling since october. No issues yet as far as battery life. Granted only taking a few photos a day if that since they are on deer trails and not a food plot. I know one thing i switched on my tactacams was changing the settings check in to daily instead of instant once i found a setting i liked and that improved battery life a lot especially on my SK which the solar panel that came on that was TRASH!

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

These I all ran about the same to get a fair shake comparison between them The exodus with their panel are lights out

[@robdhunter]

I have 3 different kinds of Tactacams. I point all my solar panels southward. My SK is still at 100% I’ve seen a few say the solar panel is comes with is trash but in my experience 🤷‍♂️ it’s in hardwoods too…

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@robdhunter I’m happy to hear that man! I understand solar panels I have 17 cell cameras out with solar panels & zero batteries in any of them out year round for 3-4 years now… mine was in a food plot with heavy sun all day and still died over & over til I just gave up with it it was an absolute piece of trash worst solar panel I have tested across the board

[@Peyton-rv1qe]

Just asking because I didn’t hear you say it but did you charge the Tactacam panel up fully before putting it to use?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

You betcha

[@heathalford4721]

Only panel I’ve used is covert and I put 12 AA rechargeable batteries in the camera. Panel only charges. One in the field over a year zero issues. One I didn’t precharge batteries and I had to go get them and charge them once but that’s very short term with that one

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That is interesting!

[@Twitch25318]

How long did it take to charge the SP18 before you put it in the field

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Couple hours or so, I have put them out with two bar charge they come with and had zero issue as well

[@ricklytton1045]

Can anyone share a link to use the Exodus solar panel on a Tactacam Reveal camera?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I would think you’d just need the matching cord is all

[@ricklytton1045]

Ah, you mean just buy the standard cable for the Reveal solar panel and use it with the Exodus panel? @@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I would imagine that would be it yes that’s how it is with my other panels but I’ve never used my exodus panels with anything other than exodus I do use these panels for everything else though Herd 360 Trail Camera Solar Panel with Built in Lithium 25,000mah Battery, Black (Amazon affiliate link*) www.amazon.com/dp/B09YYSZRBD/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_2VNRHTYAEG3WVMFV0DZ3?linkCode=ml2&tag=bluecollaro09-20

[@ricklytton1045]

That panel looks promising! Thanks! @@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@ricklytton1045 you bet it’s my go to for all cameras slowly switching over to it

[@davidcross5688]

Will the Exodus SP have the same cord ends to work on the tactacam cameras?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

You’d just need the cord to fit Tactacam

[@davidcross5688]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA thx, will wait to hear back on how the Black Gate video review comes out!

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@davidcross5688 it already dropped I do believe!

[@jimmydoan9637]

I have two of the tactacam solar panels and they are pure garbage

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@jimmydoan9637 agreed least in my findings

[@chazt4863]

Sounds like another Exodus sales promotion!

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

🤣🤣🤣 I bet that’s it, maybe it’s just the performance talks the rest walks like it always is with us You must be new !

[@ryannash3374]

Cant wait for that herd360 review! Hurry!

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

It’s coming man! It’s been LIGHTS OUT

[@timramey9975]

This has to be a paid add ,, come on actually do a review,,

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Explain how it has to be a paid add? Here’s a fun fact… if it was a paid advertisement I would have to show it as so and it’d say it on the video… that’s how it is on KZbin I pay for everything I test so we can share honest no bs reviews, will our opinions line up with yours everytime no sir but it doesn’t discredit our videos it’s just a difference of opinions as we let performance and performance only talk

[@troybrake5686]

That exodus is an over priced creative XP, it looks just like mine and its 12v 2400mah I got on sale for 25 bucks and does bad ass, im not giving 70 plus for a solar panel, and I had to buy a adapter for it to work on my stealth reactor, so even more proof it's the exact same thing ,😂

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Could be! Use what works we don’t care what it is just as long as it works for you!

[@deanmccabe8783]

Sp-18 all the way

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Easily!

[@littlejohnny210]

Let's get it! You get what you pay for. Tacticams were always 🗑 I've never had luck with them.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Yessir!!
