What the maker and reviewers highlight
- Field & Stream verified the 100-foot detection claim and called the 0.4-second trigger fast enough to keep subjects in frame [source]
- Field & Stream says nighttime image quality is the headline upgrade over the EDGE 3, and called the new on/off dial easier to use [source]
- Built-in memory, Live Aim, On Demand, GPS mapping, and Buck Shot zoomed buck images (Moultrie; Field & Stream found Buck Shot useful in high-traffic spots) [source]
- Field & Stream reported very few false triggers over 60 days, aside from one 80-mph wind day [source]
Things to weigh
- A paid cellular plan is required, on top of the camera price (Moultrie) [source]
- Field & Stream says the standard model goes through a lot of AA batteries if you do not add solar, and disliked the push-button door latch [source]
- This is a new 2026 model, so long-term durability beyond a single-season test is still being proven in published reviews
Who it's for in Texas
A cellular cam for Texas feeder setups and senderos, so you can check photos without walking in as often. Budget for the monthly plan, and consider Moultrie's solar option if the camera will sit out all season.
My take: coming soon
We have not tested this one ourselves yet. If I get it in the field, my notes will go here. No rating is given.
