Overview
The Browning Strike Force HD Pro X packs a lot of punch into a small package, and builds on the success of the previous version.
It uses the new kind of LEDs to give really strong IR flash range at night.
Trigger speeds are improved too – at around 0.15 seconds for photos, and 0.45 seconds for videos – to be this fast for both types of trigger is impressive, and few cameras come close to this – especially in this price range.
Video quality is also improved at 900p – its smooth and clear, with excellent IR flash range at night and exposure balance.
The build quality and overall design of the camera is very good, with a 1.5″ forward-facing colour screen to help with set up and so you can review images/videos without dismounting the camera in the field. It also has a great little steel bracket which the camera can pivot off for better positioning – if you’re used to fiddling around the get your camera trap positioned right, this makes things much easier!
Due to its 9V power system, night time videos are limited to 20 seconds per clip. However, if activity remains, the camera can recover in under 2 seconds and record another 20 second clip. The warranty length in the UK through NatureSpy is 2 years.
We’ve been really enjoying this camera – its quick, great on batteries, the video is good especially at night (though not as good as the ), it improves on the previous version in all the right areas and its just fun to use too. We give it 8.4 out of 10.
