Overview
The Browning Strike Force Pro X 1080 builds on the huge popularity of the Strike Force HD Pro X. Equipped with a set of 6 powerful LEDs and improvements in image quality, trigger speed and flash range, this compact camera is a superb addition to the Browning range.
The 6 high power Radiant low-glow LEDs on this camera have boosted the infrared flash range to 120ft. The extra brightness also helps to improve the overall quality of the images and videos it captures. Low-glow LEDs are perfect for wildlife-only setups, however if you are looking to use this for security take a look at the Dark Ops Pro X 1080.
The video trigger speeds are now only 0.3 seconds - among the best ever. Photos triggers are 0.18 seconds, and the faster recovery speeds of 0.6 seconds for photos and 1.8 seconds for videos means this is an very speedy unit.
The photo quality has been greatly improved compared to the predecessor; it won’t give you DSLR quality of course, but it is great at capturing all manner of daytime and night time activity, and with minimal motion blur at night. The video quality is 1080p at 30fps and this gives recordings a smooth and crisp quality, improved by automatic exposure balance.
The build quality and overall design retains the excellent features of the Strike Force Range. It has a 1.5″ forward-facing colour screen to help with set up and so you can review images/videos without dismounting the camera in the field. It also has a great little steel bracket which the camera can pivot off for better positioning – if you’re used to fiddling around the get your camera trap positioned right, this makes things much easier!
The Strike Force Pro X 1080 is also straight-forward to use – uncomplicated, quick and simple.
Due to it’s 9V power system, night time videos are limited to 20 seconds per clip. However, if activity remains, the camera can recover in just under 2 seconds and record another 20 second clip. The warranty length in the UK through NatureSpy is 2 years.
This camera successfully builds and improves on the Strike Force HD Pro X. It is simple to use, has great advanced specifications whilst keeping the same compact build. We would give the Browning Strike Force Pro X 1080 a 8.5 out of 10.
