when you look at the reviews, the cudde-backs are hit or miss. Guys like or hate them. I really think they have a problem with quality control on the line. Most guys do not get there problem resolved through customer service without a bunch of hassle. I had a DLC covert, good customer service. I do not like the way the camera needs the remote control or has to format the card every time. I just bought a spy point for 99 dollars. The test went great and I just put it out tonight. I will probably buy a Reconyx in the future because i use my camera all year long around the farm. I get all kinds of activity.
