User Comments

I ordered the Highlander digital camera from cabela's about 2 months ago (July 2002), and have been amazed at the quality of this camera. The camera paid for itself the first couple of weeks when I decided to drive to the ranch to browse through it. I was amazed at the quality of deer we had on the ranch and the quality of pictures it took. As for the battery life, I have not changed the batteries yet and its taken over 400 pictures in the past 2 months. We were recently hit by the result of a hurricane and had no problems with the camera being waterproof. It's a very lightweight camera and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Another great feature is the fact that it does not use a flash, but uses Infrared beams instead which avoids scaring your game away. I cant say enough good about this camera. Sincerely, Blake.

Manufacturer Information

Highlander Sports Inc. is no longer in business. This email was sent to us in March 2004 by Allen Davis regarding repairs for Highlander game cams.

My partner and I are the designers of the Photospy digital cameras that they sold. My partner and I plan on serviceing the black and white and color cameras that are returned for repair. I also plan to upgrade the camera software with the latest upgrades.

I may also offer repair for the non digital cameras that Highlander sold.

If you are interested in this type support for the products that you have sold please email me at aedavis@direcway.com.

I would also appreciate any advise on how to get the word out to all the folks that purchased their hardware. We hope to repair any problems that may occur to the hardware.
