Product Overview
The R5 solar panel is how you stop driving out to swap batteries in November. A built-in 5,000 mAh cell banks power on cloudy days, so the camera keeps sending after a week of gray skies.
Why it earns a spot
- 21% solar conversion efficiency, up from 18% on the previous generation panel
- Built-in 5,000 mAh 7.2V lithium-ion battery that buffers power through overcast stretches
- Works with X 3.0, Pro 3.0, X 4.0, Pro 4.0, Defend Cam, and Reveal Gen 2 cameras
- USB-C input for wall charging when you want it topped off before a hang
- Adjustable mounting bracket to angle the panel at the sun instead of the tree
- Rated from -20C to 60C, which covers every day you will realistically be in the woods
