This trail camera is pretty easy to set up and use
The media could not be loaded.


















 Update January 29, 2023. I made one mistake in my original review. This trail cam comes with at 32 gig micro SD card not a 16 gig card. I also set the trail cam back to the default settings of taking 3 pictures before a video is recorded. In my review below, I had mentioned that I would try a different settting. I tried one picture, then the video recording would start. That ended up with about a series of 800 pictures, each followed by a short video. That gave me 800 short videos that I had no intention of checking each one. It is very quick and easy to scroll through the pictures, the videos, even short ones, take too much time to review.Original reviewThis trail cam pretty much worked straight out of the box, even though I was not quite sure what I was doing when I set it up. After installing the batteries (that were included, as well as a 16 gig micro SD card), I followed the basic set-up procedures, strapped the camera up in my backyard and turned it on. I made a quick check to make sure it was working properly, then I had to leave town for 5 days. Today, 12 days after putting the camera up was the first time I had to check to see what kind of activity the camera recorded. When I hooked the trail cam up to my computer, I had a combination of 713 photos and videos. I used the camera's default setting, so the camera took both pictures and videos. There were approximately 3 pictures for every video that were taken during the last 12 days. Overall, the quality of the pictures were good, including the night-time photographs. There were several blurred photographs of animals moving quickly through area in front of the camera's lens. I assume these photographs were taken right before the video recording started, because most of the videos only show the animals leaving the view of the camera lens. (It appears that you can adjust the number of photographs taken before the video recording starts, so the camera should be able capture the movement of the animals sooner.) The default setting for the length of the video recordings is 15 seconds (this can be lengthened). The maximum size of micro SD card that can be used with the trail cam is 128 gig. Tomorrow I am going to switch out the 16 gig SD card the trail cam came with, with a 64 gig SD card and extend the video recording time and resolution. Today, I reset the camera up using the bracket that came with it, instead of using the strap. (Although, my first impression is that the camera is more secure with the strap rather than the bracket. The camera seemed wobbly with the bracket.) I will update this review in a few weeks. I am pleased with my first results with this trail cam.

Easy to use menus and 10 second tutorial is helpfu
Recently received and set up camera. The case feels solid (I mostly use these underwater) Optical clarity of the lenses looks great. The initial setup tutorial on the touch screen is just the right length and very helpful. TBD how the video processing quality is but good marks for manufacturing and user interface.

Q
Do canon fd lenses snap properly or do they twist?
A
I have an old Canon 50mm fd lens with it on a Sony Alpha 7s, snaps in place on both sides, I find very good quality! 
Q
Are you able to adjust aperture using canon fd lens and adapter? I have the adapter and the a6500 but it doesn't recognize FD lenses.
A
No. With this adapter, your lens is completely manual. You can only operate your camera in manual or aperture priority mode. 
Q
FD series adapter ring installation and operation steps.
A

There are two types of FD mounts
FD/FL Breech-Mount (with a silver ring, you need to rotate the silver ring when attachment and removal), breech-lock mounts are identified by the silver ring
New-FD Bayonet Mount, bayonet mounts are identified by a red dot next to the lens release button

Here are the steps to install breech-mount version

  1. Set your lens to smallest except for auto(bayonet mount only)
  2. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the OPEN side
  3. Line up the red dot with your lens and adapter ring(if yours is bayonet mount, just turn the adapter ring towards clockwise direction to make lens and adapter tight,then ignore the 4th step)
  4. Turn your lens ring towards counterclockwise direction to make the adapter ring tight with your lens
  5. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the LOCK side to engage the aperture closing pin

Operating the adapter

  1. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the adapter; on your lens, set the aperture to the smallest opening and use the adapter ring
  2. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the lens; place the adapter ring on the small aperture(Lock place) and control the aperture on the lens

 
Q
I have a Ann older canon fd 50mm 1.8 and a Sony a6000. Is this meant for that?
A
Yes the FD-NEX adapter is what you need. I also have a a6000 and a Canon FD 50mm , 28mm, and a 300mm and they all work well with this adapter. 
Q
Does this adapter allow for canon fd lenses to focus to infinity on sony e-mount mirrorless cameras?
A
yes, i had no problems with infinity focus with this adapter. the only FD mount lens i use anymore with my sony is a vivitar 20mm, and i pretty much only shoot infinity focus with it.
