I am sure I could modify or lengthen the cables as I often create custom interface cables as part of my profession but I do not want there to be any question if there is a warranty issue and at this point all of my Cuddelink cameras are still under warranty. I am hoping that Cuddeback has an upcoming solution for everyone that will solve the problem and keep the warranty intact. Thanks for the info though.
there is a new solar panel and 2 ports coming in 2020 that will plug into the DPB. They needed to insure that the user didn't plug the wrong cable in the wrong end and damage the camera so the solution was the new panel with a different plug. If you have existing panels reach out to me in 2020 when the new one is available and ill have something worked out to help you if you want to use them with the DPB. the current panel works fine with J and k cameras with he proper rechargeable batteries installed. I have seen others modify the current cable and are using it with the DPB now.
, but a very unique buck and i was thrilled to take him! The mass on his left antler exceeds 6-7" in the beam and his g2 is 13". He had what appeared to be an old front foot injury and according to someone nearby had had the malformed right antler for a while. 
they should be fine but for a cost standpoint lithiums dont offer much advantage in Clink cameras, i realize they do in others but not in cuddelink.
I wanted to share some success i had last week as a result my Cuddelink network. I was hunting a farm on the second to last day of my vacation, while in the stand I had a text come thru with images of this buck on another farm. It was the first time we had images of him, two images 15 minutes apart and then another after dark on the same timber edge. That evening my good friend (who is also an owner of a large archery shop/bucks and bulls stevens point in wi) and i looked at the aerial and he told me there was a ladder in between the two cameras but it hadn't been used in at least 5-7 years, the next day was my last day so i decided to give it a try. I walked in to the stand at gray light so i could look over the ladder. It wasnt ideal but i deemed it safe enough and climbed in. I discovered my shot windows were very limited but settled in. About 8 am, i had some nervous does near me and i saw the buck for the first time. The does scurried away when he approached and he followed , never getting closer than 70-100 yards. At 10 am, i had a single doe come from the direction he left and he was 100 yards behind her. For some reason, he stopped and disappeared. I stared in that direction for 20 minutes but he never showed. I went back to watching everywhere and just before 11 am i looked up and he was coming right at my tree at a fast pace!I barley had time to get ready for the shot as he turned down a trail at 10 yards and went broadside. I was able to find a small hole to shoot thru and made a good hit on him and watched him stop 40 yards out, walk another 10 yards and finally went down for the count. He's a bit lopsided
im going to send his teeth in to be aged, i think hes up there in years though.
What side was foot injury on?
right front i believe
I was thinking I should invest in the upgrade battery packs like came standard on the cellular home cams. My camp system is in upper Michigan so that's even colder.
if you are using aa's even brand new batteries have trouble in below zero temps , in this type of weather that could be the issue and when it warms up they may start working again. as you know the temps we have had the past few days are more like jan than november. I run d boosters in below zero temps but when you get below 10-20 below even the d's cant handle it. Its the one time when lithiums are worth it.
Yeah I'll certainly spring for the D packs if perform better. I did buy some Duracell optimum for my recent changes. Figured they where packaged in 12 packs like it was a sign from the heavens.
Farmstead Outdoors is the best place to go. Good prices and are knowledgeable about the products. Free shipping as well.
Swapped the dual power bank with a different one with new batteries as it was In the single digits this morning and didn’t want to mess around. Everything is working again.
I moved it 2 weekends ago on Saturday. I got 2 pics from it that day or the next and then nothing until today when I got 3 pics. I haven't been down there since I moved it but I know deer are in this food plot. I would have expected pictures like these all along. I have another camera hung on the same post so we will see if deer actually haven't been there or if the cuddelink is missing them.
