Hi guys... I was given a low-end Stealth Cam for x-mas. It's the MC2-G (35mm).
I have read a lot of posts on the battery hungry stealth cams and expected to be changing batteries pretty often. Initially, I checked the cam everyday, thinking the highs in the single digits and lows below zero would tap the AA's quickly....The cam was powered for 8 days in those temps and I never did get a low bat light. I had 20 pics on the cam when I took it down, got the pics developed and reloaded with film and new batteries. The second and third rolls of film were all taken with the same set of batteries and i never did get a low bat light....the temps around here have been below freezing the entire time the camera was in the timber. The last set of batteries I refered to has lasted 2.5 weeks, 42 pics taken and still no low bat light.
Did I get lucky? I certainly can't complain about it! Is this unusual?
