is this for night only or can it be used during the day AND can it sit on a tripod?

It can't be used at night. It requires natural light and its settings are based on daylight. It comes with a mounting stick and mini bungee cords. I push the stick into the ground next to a tree and wrap the bungee around the tree and stick. Never had any issues.

It can only be used during the day. It has no flash or night vision. It is however a great scouting tool. I would scout during lunch and find a promising spot put the plot watcher in and go hunt another spot. Then retrieve the camera the next day at lunch and see if that spot is worth hunting and put it in another promising spot. You are in effect doubling you scouting efforts. I would spend the extra money and get the Plot Watcher Pro.

My father didn't look to see if it could be placed on a tripod - he stuck it in a tree. I do believe it could be used for night and day. It wasn't what he needed, so we returned it. Worked great, just wasn't the kind he needed.

Night only. Threaded camera hole will accept tripod. Fyi these suck. I have 2 and they dont work right.

It is for day only. Does not take picture after sunset. I beileve it could be strapped to a tripod.

I'm not sure about the tripod but the camera ONLY works during daylight hours.

For nighttime it is fantastic, we bought a 10' collapsible screen and use it (tied to a bigger audio system) for screen-on-the-green presentations. It throws a great image even at that size. I do t know if I would use it during daylight hours.

I wouldn't think this would take photos at night. This filter demands long shutter speeds and alot of light to render it's unique look. I haven't tried it at night though.

The battery is still accessible. There is not bottom. It stays open. And yes it can be used with a tripod. I live by the ocean and this skin has protected by my cameras for years.

It has no special light settings, but I used it on a dark overcast day and the images came out great. I have not used it at night, but I would guess that it would be equal to an average photo camera.

You can use it at night, you just can't see it. I can't even see it during the day without glasses. There you go.ź

Camera only works during daylight hours, makes a video of the entire day. It's more of a surveillance camera than a conventional trail camera.

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

I have used it indoors on a stormy day to photograph a painting with no outside or interior lights and it did a good job. I have not tried to use it outside in dusk or night conditions.

It comes with a very tiny tripod. The battery lasts between an hour and an hour and a half for me but I'm not always in HD. I have two batteries and I swap between them.

It is designed to be used with a tripod. I prefer to remove the strap, but at times leave it on as well.

It is really designed for hand-holding it against the LCD screen of your camera, to view your histogram or image after you take the photo, and that is what I do. For me, it really works best when I am using a tripod for taking day or night landscapes. I wear it around my neck with the included neck strap, so it is convenient to use that way. If you are doing video work and wish to attach it to the camera, you can also purchase their " rubber bands" to temporarily strap it to the back of your camera.

I took some AMAZING picture on a virtually black night with just a little bit of moon. Be careful, though -- you need to use a tripod. Above 200 ISO the images are very noisy, and the image stabilization only works down to about 1/8 second. But with a good tripod you can go to a multiple second exposure.

it's night performance is WAY better than I expected, it gives a good contrast with noiseless in low light conditions. use a tripod for better results. but keep in mind that you are not using a DSLR.

No this camcorder does not have night shooting capabilities. It does very well in low light conditions though. I have recorded street scenes very successfully with nothing more than the street lights themselves.

I have a cannon slr as my primary camera, so we didn't use this one at night. It was basically to use in water.Nice to have though.

No it can't and I would consider another cam - this one does fine in the day but nighttime images are horrible.
