I have been looking for a trail camera to use for public land hunting. I wanted to record deer traffic as well as some turkey and pheasant traffic on a couple of different pieces of public land. On these properties, I hesitate to drop in really expensive cameras because I know the realities of hunting these public land properties: a camera has a high chance of getting stolen. As well, these properties are wide open properties in which I can mount the camera either on a fence post or an independent stake. These options do not allow me to lock the camera to anything or can easily be pulled out of the ground.
In mid 2020, I picked up the Lanmodo Trail Game Camera from Amazon for $50.00 and began testing it out. The camera works surprisingly well for what it is. It is a smaller, lighter, cheaper version of some of the more expensive cameras on the market. It comes with a 32 GB micro SD card installed, so it is a tremendous bargain for such a small camera. The images come out clear, the video comes out clear and it is easy to set up. I had two of them set up and, just as I suspected, one of them disappeared. As frustrated as I was with the theft, I would be far more upset if it had been one of my more expensive four or five hundred dollar trail cameras.
The user manual could be improved, but overall I am pleased with the camera and the imagery. Check out the Lanmodo Trail Game Camera, and if you need something at a discount price to put in places where you are not afraid to lose it, these are the cameras you want to consider.
The features on this camera according to the descriptions are:

Non-luminous and special appearance design also help it stay concealed for hunting.
