The REVEAL Ultra is packed with game-changing features designed by hunters, for hunters. Live video streaming* lets you watch the action in real time, while the new Active GPS continues to send coordinates to the app even after the camera loses power or is turned off—alerting you if it’s moved more than a half-mile from its last location. The switchable flash gives you more control over your setup, allowing you to adapt to a wider range of conditions and locations. You’ll also get the same features that made the Pro 3.0 one of America’s favorite wireless trail cams: exceptional battery life, a user-friendly app, HD photos, on-demand videos, an optional SD card slot, an intuitive 2” LCD screen for faster setup, automatic carrier selection, and a setup process that takes minutes—not hours. It’s a hunt-ready camera that works just as hard as you do. $200 | tactacam.com
