MOULTRIE PANORAMIC 150 GAME CAMERA

Moultrie has definitely brought us a first in the way of trail cameras with this model ( MOULTRIE PANORAMIC 150 GAME CAMERA )No other camera at this time offers a panoramic photo feature. With the way this unit performs though, there is little doubt that this is going to be the way of the future. You can hang one camera instead of 3, or just monitor really wide areas. It takes 3 separate pictures and combines them into one. The most amazing part is that it swivels with virtually no noise.

It is important to note a couple of things about the “cons”. 6 seconds for a recovery time is actually pretty good when you factor in that it is storing 3 pictures per shot. (You could say 2 seconds per pic). Same with the overlapped appearance. This really is the only solution out there for monitoring a field or open area with just one camera. Considering that it is the first of it’s kind as well, they have really gotten it right.

The benefits of the panoramic feature are obvious ones. You can see an entire field in “one” shot. This isn’t just a one trick pony though. You can enable a single shot mode where the camera will swivel and take just one shot in whatever zone it detects the motion in. (Out of the 3 motion sensors it has).

It offers really clear, crisp pictures by day. The flash range is almost 70 feet, so it is capable of delivering great nighttime photos as well. With the 8 MP resolution and HD video options it really performs beyond the ability of most single game cameras. Time-lapse options even make it a good camera for putting over a food plot. (Especially if you have a wide one, or want to catch a trail and a plot with a single camera).

This device is going to revolutionize the game camera industry going forward. It performs so well that it’s hard to believe other companies aren’t already racing to complete production. The only real drawbacks are the overlap effect on the panoramic photos and the increased battery usage (from the swiveling). If you are looking to monitor a large area though, you will not find a better option.
