One of my cellular cameras is a tactacam reveal X pro. I'm getting ready to put it out on a property that is about an hours drive from my home plus a pretty good up hill hike, so frequent checks and battery replacement WON'T be ideal. I already have the rechargeable lithium battery pack cartridge in the camera, but I'd like to put a solar panel on it and wondered if there if any of you have a similar camera and would recommend a certain panel you have found to work well? Of course, also looking for the best price and if it would work with a muddy manifest camera also would be a plus. Thanks. Pic of this years harvest for attention.

Cellular trail camera solar panel question

I have set a bunch of the various models of tactacams over the last few years. Lithium pack and the tactacam solar panel on all of them.
Switching to sending pics 1x or 2x daily (as opposed to timely) saves a ton of battery.
For the one of the cams out for state I tried one of the herd360 solar panels. It's 2x the price of the tactacam panels but it has a 25k mah battery iirc. The spp1025 panel has different outputs (have to order the right cable too) to connect to different brand trail cams.

Hope that helps.

Which solar panels are you using? There must be some sort of battery the panel charges up so camera will work at night, correct?
I originally only clicked for the buck thumbnail. Congrats, he looks awesome. I don’t use solar panels for my Muddy Mitigators. I’ve had really good luck with the cheapo Rayovac High Energy batteries. Depends on the amount of traffic you get and what kind of signal you have too, but I typically change batteries once a “season”. That “season” my cameras are out starts mid-summer and goes through all of deer season.
Again, nice buck!
