I liked that the 3.0 doesn't need a stupid memory card. I've had enough issues with the class 10 card that I was happy to not have to have one. Wife was with me and insisted I got as many as I wanted. That free pass doesn't come around very often.

Tactacam byer beware ! There's different reasons why I really enjoy my tactacams & one of them is that they will send videos as soon as you request. They're 15 sec videos we know. When the new 3.0 came out, featuring 30 sec video, I had to jump on that ! I ordered last Sat & it arrived the very next day. Anyhoo .... what I unfortunately found out, rather quickly, is that it won't send a video when requested until the NEXT camera activation UNLESS, you subscribe to their " extra " plan. That plan , though kinda neat, is an extra $9.00 a month. It will cover ALL of your tactacams & will send unlimited, even multiple pics if you have a cam set for it....so even my gen 1 will send , say 2 pics at a time for each occurance. They advertise that the plan will send HD pics & videos, but in reality , only pics have the HD ability, at this time.

I sent the cam back & got another 2.0. The $5 plan for 50 videos is good enough for me & could last a couple seasons. Oddly enough , I did try the extra plan for a day or two before switching back & I didn't get charged anything . The cams I set for that are still sending me multiple pics for each capture. My new monthy charge for all my cams thru & it wasn't on there ....
Says the pro has the video on demand, not the 3.0

My 3.0 Pros need that update thats supposedly coming.... Temps, GPS and send times remain out of whack, They seem much more apt to false trigger with non-animal motion too.

I wish TC would allow you to have different plans under one acct too. When running multiple cams that Pro plan is pricey when only needed for a fraction of them.
