Best $50 Trail Camera?

[Guppy35]

Can anybody recommend a decent trail camera for around $50 or less?  I've got several higher quality cameras, but there are some areas on another property that i would like to scout without putting a lot of money into the cameras.  Doesn't have to be anything special or have all the bells and whistles, just something that will take decent day/night time pictures.

check flash sales for field and stream and bass pro.  I got a primos a few years ago that was like $50 or 60 off.  The (lower end) wild life innovation cameras are good for day but pretty bad for night.  That is all I have.  I buy the cheaper cameras because I want to know what predators are after my chickens and I do not need to see how many points the fox has.  But I get a lot of deer on them and night time quality is pretty bad.  There seems to be a sweet spot in distance.  Too far and only eyes and too close is a wash out.

I picked up a steathcam 3 pack for $99 black Friday last year.  They seem to be ok for the $$.  Normal price is around $129 / 3 pack.

I like Primos because they are so easy to set and are not expensive. They came out with one that is under

$50. I bought one and it takes decent day and night pics and also has movie mode. No frills but they are

less that $50. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=primos+bullet+proof+2&_sacat=0&_sop=15.

That price is only on ebay. Other places that are more than $50. The model is Primos bullet proof 2.

Wild game Innovations. They run $30-$40 and ya get about 3yrs outta them. They take excellent pics for the $. We have 10-12 of them out 8-10 months outta the year.

wildgame cams are under 50 seem pretty durable we have bears messing with cams they hold up well

I have been running a cheap wild game cam behind my house for years and it just crapped out this spring.  I leave it out all year.  Pic quality isn't the greatest but decent.

I run wild game innovations I bought at Walmart for $50 on public land and they work just as good as 75-$100 ones I have on private land

[Guppy35]

I ended up buying four of the Wildgame Innovation cameras through Dick's last week.  They arrived yesterday, but since my wife works from home, she found the package before i got home....which means she has leverage.

And the deer love them
