Overview
The Tactacam Reveal Solar Panel R5 is a trail camera solar charger with a built-in 5,000mAh backup battery, charging 30 percent faster than the previous generation and connecting via barrel jack to nine different Reveal camera models.
This is a compatibility first accessory: it is only useful paired with a Reveal camera that takes a barrel jack, and the panel's value is in keeping that camera powered through cloudy stretches and long nights rather than any standalone feature. On Reveal 4.0 cameras specifically, it also unlocks Advanced Insights, live battery percentage, charging state and voltage readings, which helps with panel placement since you can see the effect of angle changes without guessing.
- 5,000mAh built-in backup battery
- 30% faster charging than the prior generation
- Works with 9 Reveal camera models via barrel jack
- Adjustable mounting bracket included
Who it's for
Fits hunters and land managers running a Reveal trail camera who want to stop swapping batteries on a remote setup. Not useful without a compatible Reveal camera, and the diagnostics feature only applies to the Reveal 4.0 generation.
Pros and cons
- Compatible with nine Reveal camera models
- 5,000mAh built-in backup battery
- Adjustable bracket for sun angle
- Live diagnostics on Reveal 4.0 pairings
- Diagnostic feedback only works with the Reveal 4.0 generation
- Requires a barrel jack connection, so check camera compatibility first
Performance notes
The larger panel surface is built to capture more energy per hour of daylight, and the 5,000mAh internal battery carries the camera through overnight and overcast periods without a power drop. The adjustable mounting bracket lets you angle the panel toward the sun on a tree, post, or structure, and on Reveal 4.0 cameras the live voltage and charging state readout takes the guesswork out of finding that angle.
