the BEST solar panel option for trail cameras? | bco review |

[@gardencornrobber]

What is the coldest it can operate at? Tactacam is -4 degrees.

[@danielsmith8659]

I’m late watching this one. I have 2 of these. They work well. Very much overkill….. but I was concerned with having power issues in overcast or lower light situations, I’ve never seen the panels come off 100% in the regardless of the conditions … Theuve been out a little over a month. At the end of the day …. I may not run these on ever camera every time like you mentioned …..currently mine are in food plots so sure I’ll keep them there.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s my thinking as well, perfect for that application or somewhere you plan on running a cam year round etc

[@jpashworth]

Have you found what the best combo for cell cam and solar panel is for best battery life yet? **** SP-18 + Reveal Pro?*** Blackgate + Reveal? Thanks for the review.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

This panel in the video with any camera so far

[@brandonanderson1819]

Mike from Herd 360 is a great guy! I get all of my cell cam stuff from him.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I’ve been looking at all the other things they sell, may be buying some other stuff to test

[@patrickwallace8616]

Will this work with moltree edge

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I would assume so but I’m not sure I don’t own one check what cables it takes then check the ones that come with this

[@bobevans12345]

It more or less works with any camera on the market wether a Spartan 6v or 12v like most others. It comes with the cables to fit all of the cameras. Moultire uses 5.5x2.1mm

[@Gerald-iz7mv]

hi looks nice - can you run a raspberry pi Raspberry Pi Zero W with it? The power input to the Pi Zero is 5V - what i need to make it work with the herd360?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I have no clue what that is but I’d assume you’d just need the right cord to run it

[@Gerald-iz7mv]

​@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSAthanks for quick reply - ok looks like the herd360 has 5V output too right?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I’d have to look again I think it has 6v & 12v but you could just check on Google and make sure

[@Gerald-iz7mv]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA i see the herd360 has 5V too - i assume you can use a usbc...

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Yessir everything you’d need to know about it would be on the herd 360 website

I bought 3 last year. Just bought 2 more. I installed batteries in my Tactacam cameras to see how much it they used. After a complete season and 6 months of high res pictures and video, my batteries were still fully charged when I removed my cameras.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Well yes these panels are strong enough you don’t even need batteries in your cams I have 3 cameras out that have been out for over a year with no batteries with no issues

[@5forks]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA it was an experiment. I used an external battery box on 1 and the camera batteries ended up taking over after the external battery ran down. They are great solar panels.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@5forks only ones I’ll use going forward! Worth every penny!

[@5forks]

Same here. BTW, good video.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@5forks appreciate it man!

[@robertmorris2087]

Hands down the best solar panel on the market

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Well it may be but it’s a bit excessive for most of my cell cam setups, with that said I’m very happy to put two out for testing it would work perfect for a food plot year round camera

[@ivanhou7911]

Hey, have you tested how well the spypoint panel can hide itself from animals yet? I would love to know the result

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

We haven’t and don’t have plans to test the spypoint panel out at this time

[@Albundy94]

I need one for bushnell cellucore 2 pin into the camera?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Then get one, link is in the description!

[@mattrenfroe1985]

Any update? I scrolled through your videos and didn't see any update video on how these turned out?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Going to film this weekend or next been testing them, I don’t film reviews until I have enough data to have a good performance based opinion on it

[@mattrenfroe1985]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA awesome in excited to see how it turned out with them

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@matt21945 spoiler alert they are awesome! Ahahah This is the link I bought them as Amazon has the same package but much faster shipping amzn.to/3KWdQRb
