I’ve had this camera running through rain and heat for 2 months straight. It hasn’t missed a beat. The solar panel does exactly what it promises, non-stop power with zero maintenance.
Camera itself works well, but the mount kept loosening over time, even when fully tightened. Had to replace it with a third-party bracket. Brinno should improve the arm’s locking system.
The remote access via the 32-ft extender was a lifesaver. We were able to adjust the schedule mid-way through the job without taking the rig down. Brilliant system for site managers.
This isn’t cheap gear, but the performance justifies the cost. Everything feels durable and well thought-out. Just be prepared to spend time learning the camera menus if you're new to Brinno.
The footage quality is outstanding, especially with HDR enabled. I was able to document a 10-week site build in great detail. The solar charging saved me hours of climbing and battery swapping.
