Analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    The Moultrie M-880i Gen2 is brand new for 2015 and comes with a complete redesign from last years M-880.  This is a no glow infrared trail camera, meaning the infrared LEDs are invisible to the human eye when taking a picture at night.  Structurally, this is the difference between the Moultrie M-880 and this camera, the M-880i.  The \"i\" stands for invisible.  Let's take a look at the rest of the Moultrie M-880i Gen2 Review.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuality of

has been relatively easy to open and close even with cold fingers.  The buttons for programming and the battery eject tray are all positive and work well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     The python lock bracket is an extremely poor design.  The loops are angled which makes the camera sit funny on a tree if you are only using the python lock and not the security case.  It would also be pretty easy to torque the camera in a way to easily snap the brackets.  We don't like this design at all, the only way to truly correct this is to use the camera with a security case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     We have found the programming to be tricky and not intuitive at all.  The programming from the 2013 M-880 was simple and easy to use, but ever since then the programming has grown in intricacy.  We have received quite a few calls from our customers needing help programming their camera (which is unusual for a non-cellular trail camera).  \u003c\/span\u003eHere is a breakdown of some of the more popular settings:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-3
