Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MAXDONE Wildlife Camera 4K 64MP is eighth in this guide. It is a 64MP stills and 4K video trail camera with 850nm low glow infrared, a 100-degree field of view, IP66 rating and a free TrailCam GO app that talks to your phone over Bluetooth and ultra-low power Wi-Fi. It sells for £47.99 and carries 4.5 out of 5 from 674 ratings.
The reason it sits where it does is the battery number. The bullet points claim a built-in 2,000mAh battery; the other MAXDONE listings in this guide claim 6,000mAh for the same 64MP headline. This listing also contradicts itself in a more basic way: the bullet says there is "no need to install any batteries", while the specification table ticks "Batteries are Required: Yes". Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.
