So i read this and wonder? is it a Go Pro you want, or a Trail Cam?
Either way, they both capture great shots.
Con's for the go-pro. two, (or 3,) buttons to navigate all the options. Finding a chart to map out the button sequence to change the resolution from 4K to 720p (for memory saving,) was difficult. but they are becoming more intuitive. that being said, you can radio connect it to your phone and navigate menus that way, if.... you can connect it to your phone.
I have yet to set up a Trail cam but i'm of the impression you can set them up with a motion sensor and that means every time, the first picture is of your own goofy face looking at it asking yourself "is this thing on?"
Hope that's some help.
