I don't often post a review of equipment I purchase that increase my enjoyment associated with my pursuit of whitetails but I want to give some feedback on a recent purchase I made of a couple of GardePro E5 trail cameras. I've used many in the past from Browning, Stealth Cam, Bushnell, Whitetail Innovations and Moultre. I always liked the Browning's but after a couple or three years, they quit working. My Stealth Cams also worked well but but again, within just a few years they also quit working. My one and only Moultre never worked since it was pulled out of the box. I later learned they had a problem with that particular model of camera and when I reached out to them they more or less told me sorry about your luck.
I'm sure that everyone here has stories of cameras that have worked well for them and others that have had problems with some. The big thing is the cost of quality cameras is usually north of $100 and most of us would like to run multiple cameras. Then there's the issue of theft. We want to invest in quality cameras but the risk of theft is enough to make us have second thoughts about putting cameras out on public land.
After my last Stealth Cam quit working, I decided to try a cheaper alternative. I watched several YouTube videos by content creators that run many trail cameras. I made the decision to try a couple of GardePro E5 trail cameras sold on Amazon as well as other outlets. As I type this post, Amazon currently has this camera listed for $39.99!

My experience so far with this trail cameras is fantastic! I believe that the quality far surpasses the other cameras I've used in the past in every aspect. Anyway, maybe this will open a few eyes to the possibilities of cheaper cameras that offer the quality to match the big name cameras but don't break the bank. I've purchased my last name brand camera and will from now on find a cheaper equivalent for my trail camera needs.
