Does anybody have any experience with the new style of trail cams, such as the Plot Stalker? These gadgets are the ones that simply trigger once every few seconds, producing a series of stills which can then be viewed quickly to provide a fast-action "movie" of the subject area. No motion sensor...just a wide-angle lens that can show you an entire field and is supposed to show you everything that goes on in there.

Do they work? Anyone use them and like them or hate them?
 
They work ok but anything that is further out in the pics it's very hard to see (zoom in) what it is. The quality is lacking. But if areas are small they do work well.
 
Some of my trail cams have that option but I do not use it as all of my spots are close. I have seen on line pictures using that function and they seem good and they catch deer where they are too far out to trigger the motion detector part of the camera.
 
I'm wondering if this type of camera would allow me to monitor a largish clearing (say 100 yards by about 300 yards). Could you distinguish enough detail on a deer at that range to know what you were looking at?
 
Good review here...

Seems some people use the plo####chers to determine wildlife patterns & identify individual targets, as a supplement to the actual trail-cams that are motion activated.

That would totally depend on camera placement (higher is better for longer range).

But you'd probably want to set-up a cam at each end of the 300yds, having to only cover 150x100yds each.
