The photo above was
taken with a Kodak FunSaver.
Notice the color differences
between this one and the
photo below, which was
shot with a Kodak Max Flash
This photo was taken with a different camera
-- a Kodak Max Flash.
Both photos were developed
at Wal Mart with the exact
same processing steps.

We recommend you practice with a Morty Kit at home before installing
it in a tree.
Find a place that you can install it facing downward without having
to climb up on a ladder. The practice will serve you well.
You can always unscrew it from the practice spot to put it somewhere
else.
When installing it in trees, the height you select will depend on
what you're trying to photograph.
If you do not want to get photos of deer, bears, dogs, etc., you
will need to place the camera up high enough so the bait hangs at
least eight feet in the air.
If you are trying to get a photo of a sasquatch, the bait can hang
about 8 feet from the ground, but the camera should be installed
on a branch about 15 feet off the ground, to put it out of easy
reach of a large sasquatch.
If the sasquatch coming around at night may be as large as 9 feet
tall, it can likely reach up another 5-6 feet in the air, and may
mess with the camera if it can easily grab it.
If a sasquatch does pull down the camera, our guess is that it may
smell it but then discard it nearby. It probably won't smash the
camera to bits, so you'll still have your photo.
In these two test photos on the right, the bait is
hanging 3 feet below the camera. The ground is 6.5 feet away.
The flash should be bright enough to lightly illuminate objects
another ten feet way from the camera -- the distance to the ground
if the camera is mounted on a branch 16 feet in the air (out of
reach of a sasquatch).
The Kodak FunSaver is prefered over the Kodak Max Flash.
Both types of cameras will work with a Morty Kit, because both cameras
will fit in the bracket.
FunSavers are better not only because they're a few bucks cheaper
than Max Flash cameras, but the photo quality seems to be better
as well.
The Max Flash flash range is advertised as up to 14 feet, as opposed
to 10 feet of flash range for the FunSaver.
Oddly enough, the FunSaver's flash seems to be brighter than the
flash on the "Max Flash". You can see the difference in
these test photos.
The Max Flash has a higher film speed -- 800 speed.
The FunSaver's film is 400 speed.
The higher film speed of the Max Flash technically makes it more
light sensitive, so it should see better in the dark. That may have
allowed Kodak to use an even dimmer flash than the one on the FunSaver.
We like to see other people's results of this test.
