Browning trail camera and CS rant!

[Casey]

I don't have a dental pick. Anyone got any other ideas?

Small screw. I used a long teacup type hook

Yeah they are small screws. I finally got the little rubber grommets out and the screws as well.

[Casey]

I meant use a small screw to thred onto the rubber then pull out.

Something like this but small diameter/longer length.

I replaced 2 lenses today. I used a small drill bit and drilled the plugs out until I felt the screw head. Didn’t damage the screw at all. Takes about 15 minutes to swap one out. The biggest pain was getting the lens cover out.

Ah, I gotcha. Now I gotta order a lense. Has anyone ever tried to use one without the lens? If so, what happened?

[Casey]

Mine that were broken out took a bazillion pics of nothing.

Best cam by far !
Fix the lenses somehow.
I have 2 with brown packing tape over them, works fine.

So you just put brown packing tape on the outside? Didn't have to unscrew anything and it is working fine? Am I understanding correctly?

How long have you had the cameras out with this fix?

Lenses are now in stock on the browning website.

Woodpeckers are undefeated against me and every trail camera I've ever put out. I posted asking for solutions to help with woodpeckers years ago on here. lol

Mine too! This is the one they told me they would not restock!

I am going to try the brown tape!

[hog_down]

Just mailed mine out at lunch today. It stopped working, and I'm pretty sure it was the BTC - 5HD. If they get it working for half the price of a new one, I'd call that a win.

I did just find an email where they offered me another one at a reduced price. I just deleted the email. I ordered some fresnel material to try and see how that works. If not, the brown tape will get a shot. If that doesn't work, I'll trash it. I just bought two of the Muddy cameras everyone was talking about on another thread. For $30 each it could save me a lot of aggravation.

Yep. Have $40+ of them ordered..
