- yes another amazing product review! this time it is my impression of the new features of the spypoint flex trail camera and my honest review as should we spend are heard earned money. On the new spypoint flex. I gave the spy point flex a more than fair evaluation. I have used this trail camera though an entire deer season as well as into my current turkey season. And its sad to say but this may be the last spypoint camera that I will purchase. in my opinion the are better more reliable trail cameras on the market. the price point is relatively the same across the board. so I hope you enoy my review of the spypoint flex trail cam after one year of using this camera#spypoint #spypointflex
#1 on opening, squeeze the lid to the camera, very easy to open
Ya. Others have commented the same i struggle
The do not remove sticker is over the sim cards, not the SD card. There's no need to remove the Sim cards
Haha I’m such a dope
No worries. I was confused about it originally, too, until I realized there were two spaces under the sticker.
Thanks for your honest onions. For that reason I have subscribed to you channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback. I always try to give my honest opinion, good or bad I think it really helps out to the consumer.
Excellent review. I have two flex cameras. One failed after just one season. The other is still going but a bit of a pain to keep up with. Customer support is, in my opinion, non-existent; but then I do not participate in Facebook, so I am limiting myself from that avenue of assistance.
Based upon your comments I will try a Moultrie Edge (or whatever their latest Cell model is). Thanks again for taking the time to do these reviews. Very Helpful.
Yes, great I think Moultrie across-the-board is great I just like the edge the best in my opinion no need to get the edge pro. Unless you want all the bells and whistles.
You made some very valid criticisms of this camera as i have one of these as well. Tge antenna not staying in place like it should... i had the same problem and the bottom being difficult to open i have that issue as well. However i havent experienced any of the other issues youve had. I did go to bass pro and buy a 15ft extended antenna specifically made for the spypoint cameras, cuz i knew the area i hunt has pretty poor cell coverage. Maybe that could help? Dont know just thought I'd comment cuz the flex i have runs perfectly. Anyway cool video and have a good one bud
Yes i enjoy the feedback and it helps others that are watching review. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me my review is based in my experience. Be well
We have a small og spypoint that watches our cottage. We put energizer lithium batteries in it. It gives us a pic every day plus any critters in the yard. For $80 and $5 a month ($0 plan available) it’s been ok at least. Battery lasts almost all year. We did have 2 weeks with no pic, thought it was broken then it works fine. 3 years still going.
Yes some of the original Spypoint literally last flat forever You just can’t fast with them too much
Your antenna flops around too. Had to tape mine up
Ya its awful.
@@peggoty75fogot to ad i gave away 4 cameras this year and the flex had a issue eatin 30 bucks lithium batteries in a week. They had me set it against the wall for 24 hrs. Now its working😳🤪
I have had spypoint micro and flex …both died less than 2 yrs! Least durability of any brand that I have used
Yes its awful. Spy-point really dropped the ball on this one never addressed all previous issues. I use moultrie edge now love them if that helps
I also have a tactacam gen 2. I like it but the pic quality isn’t great and I get deer butts too often. Batteries last and it’s reliable but could be better. Our favorite is stealth cam reactor and we are waiting for the next gen stealth cams soon. Pic on demand
I’ll have to check out some of the stealth cam cellular cameras do some reviews on them thanks so much for the feedback
There it is buy Moultri I have 6 spypoint 2 of witch are flex. If you follow the instructions you don’t have many problems. I pay 100.00 a year for 250 pics per camera a month. Very happy with mine. J
Thanks for feedback
You missed the worst part of the flex…The blue light of death!!!! If you have a large # of pics that upload if freezes and kills the batteries instantly! Over 130 pics does it
Yes your right should do a whole vid on theat😂😂😂
You cannot always update your firmware wirelessly
I have a Flex-S and I had to go get the camera and pull the SD card per the SPYPOINT e-mail they sent me
Well thats news to me, such a shame so sorry thats a pain in the ass that should not happen
Do any other cameras have multiple cellular service?
Yes moultie edge i love it
Black Gate cell cams hook up to best service in your area also
Hmmm ill check them out thanks for feedback
Mine takes random pics of nothing daily and at night it also eats batteries very disappointed
Like I said, this will be the last spypoint I buy I have a few it’s still kind of workingand when they stop working, I won’t buy another one
Steer clear of these unless you can go solar power. Batteries only last about a month and for lithium its about $25 for new batteries.
Indeed learned the hard way. Thanks for the feedback
can you hook up a solar panel ?
Yes this model works well with solar panel
After 3 days of using these and subscribing to their service for €15 for a month, I gotta say, I'm terribly disappointed. Gonna send them back and just use my cheap €60 cameras which, if I'm honest, are actually much better.
If you read the comments, you’ll see you’re not alone but there’s much better cameras out there that I’ve done reviews on myself. If you like the cellular cameras I’m currently using the moultrie edge. Absolutely love it.
Mine eats batteries also. Drops to 69% after 6 days. 1st time i had it out it quit working when it went down to 61%. Working but something wrong with power usage. 250 pics a month is not enough to cover wind and sun and critter pics. Maybe bean counters have taken over for more profit here.
Thats terrible. I have a few spy points left that are on their last legs try out the moultrie edge far superior
I got a two pack on clearance from Walmart just today for $56
Hope they work for you. Could be a boat load of frustration
I have bought five and have one working, they eat batteries and support is horible
I agree this is my last Spypoint, they have never addressed any of ongoing issues
Yea I hate the Flex does not do photo and video both
Yea definite con compared to others on the market
That door is not that hard to open!! I have the flex-s and yes the video will take 3 pics. So if you have the basic plan then maybe do not set it to video. But I used spypoint last season as well. The pic quality on that specific cam model isn’t the greatest in comparison to stelthcam. But still this is not that bad of a cam as you set it out to be. The firmware is very easy to update. I have not had the issues you have I guess. I think it’s great. I also run stealthcam and cuddeback/link. But dude the door. C’mon man. Not that hard to open. It’s nice to know it’s secure at minimum. You should re-title this video to worst camera ever.
Thanks for feedback. I have a doctors time with that god awful latch maybe I just got a bad one
My door is very hard to open.
@@thomashalonen4732 indeed
Yea video takes 3 of you photo count and yes that sucks lol
Ya wasnt a fan of the plans they offer seems like a scam compared to other manufactures
Flex Nothing but problems let a lone battrries
Agreed
junk
I hate to agree with you, compared to what’s on the market Spypoint has lost their foothold
