I've been using one since last summer. The photo quality is not the greatest, but that's the sacrifice you make when you choose infrared. On the plus side, the battery life is fantastic. I've recently gotten over 2000 images on one set of batteries. Overall this unit has been fairly simple to use, and fairly reliable.

It does have a very slow trigger time in standard (battery save) mode, so it is suited mainly for set-ups over bait. AND, if you purchase a Leaf River, I'd recommend to use only SAN DISK brand memory cards.

My unit destroyed 4 Kodak/Lexar cards over the first few months (rendered the cards unformattable). I have not had any problems with the newer Sandisk cards so far. The Vibrashine tech service people, while generally friendly and helpful, have no answer whatsoever for the destroyed cards.

The above link shows a night-time shot taken yesterday. The unit is set for highest resolution in this image. Purchased a Leaf River IR 3BU two week a ago from Cabela’s. Took it out of the packaging from Cabela’s., watched the DVD, read the manual, watched the DVD, took a couple of pictures and set the unit up in the back yard over some corn. Checked the camera next day and the memory was full. From the LCD display I could see deer, not very well but I could see deer. I grabbed the camera and hooked it to my Lap Top with the provided USB cable, boy was I excited., that was until I could not see the USB port on my lap top, tried another lap top, then another laptop, then a desktop and could not view images with my laptop?

Read the directions again, watched the video. No luck, then hooked the camera to the video input of my Sony 42” LCD and low and behold I was able to view the images. I had deer, squirrels, crows, a coyote, and a family of raccoon. I then went out and purchased Lexar 256 Compact Flash (CF) card for $20 at Walmart. Plugged the card in the slot and left the camera out, left town for 3 days and when I returned I had some 130 images. Struggled some more with the USB connection, played with the settings, loaded software, looked for drivers on the internet, loaded software.

Still no luck. Went to Best Buy and purchased a CF reader for $20, loaded the reader software and low and behold I could view the images if I took the CF card out of the camera and used the CF reader. I then focused on the USB connection. Bound and determined I called Vibrashine, waited on hold for 30 minutes and then went looking for the Cabelas return label. If I had not just spent 40 additional dollars a CF card and reader I probably would have thrown in the towel and returned the item to Cabela’s. But I did give it one more try and found that the camera must be in the display preview mode for the USB port to be recognized. I own several other digital cameras, usually all you have to do plug the camera to the computer and turn the camera on.

On this particular camera you have turn on the camera, go to display preview mode then hook up the USB to the computer. If you do not follow this sequence, the computer will see new hardware and then go off searching for drivers which were not provided with the camera’s software installation CD. I am still not sure I was shipped the correct CD with the camera. Crack wep password. The CD I was shipped was for a Freecom FHD-2 Pro?

Ir 3bu Manual

The direction said that ONLY ON THE DC-2BU DID YOU HAVE TO GO THOUGH THESE TYPES OF LIMBO MOVES TO GET THE USB PORT TO FUNCTION. The direction should have included the IR-3BU in the Limbo routine. OK, what do I think of the IR-3BU, great little camera now that I figured out how the USB connection works. Attached picture is first deer captured before I figured out how to set the date and time. Leaf River IR 3BU.

After about a month my camera stopped recording pictures to the Compact Flash. The camera would indicate that it had triggered, but nothing was recorded on the flash on the flash.

I checked the cameras battery indicators and they indicated full charge. Finally after swapping out the Flash cards on two different trips I pulled the camera and took it home for closer inspection. Long and short I checked the batteries with a VOM and the batteries where low. The Leaf River IR Battery indicator does not accurately reflect battery state or condition. 11 month update-camera has been returned THREE times for repair.

First the case leaked and ruined the camera, then the hinge broke (fixed this ourselves) then it wouldn't power up at all, now it is back for not taking night shots. They promised a new camera last time, but sent the old one back to us instead.Now, again they promised us a new cam by yesterday.NOTHING. My money will go elsewhere next time. One positive is that one of their reps, Jeremiah, has been helpful. Seems like his hands are tied somewhat, though. He promises, but the company fails to deliver.

Just my experience.take it for what it's worth.
