SPYPOINT Cable Lock

The locks work great until they don’t. After a few rains during winter the lock drums the dissimilar metals inside the drum and water produced horrible galvanic corrosion. I had two installed on trees and both did the exact same thing. No amount of penetrating oil would allow the key to open either lock. The locks don’t have rubber caps over the key hole and no seal around the cable insertion point. Absolute garbage. I had to cut both lock cables destroying the locks to change out my batteries.

Bought this lock cable and used it to secure my camera near my hunt spot back in late August. Tried to remove my camera at the end of bow season in my area on Nov 1, found the tumbler had jammed and would not work with either key. Poured methanol deicer into tumbler thinking it might have gotten water in it and froze up. No worries, after breaking both keys with surprising ease, i accidentally pulled the cable from the crimp on the backside of the tumbler while barely even trying. So not only does it not work properly with the key, but anyone can easily steal your camera with a half-hearted tug on the cable itself.

Puisque mes caméras sont sur des terres publiques, je me dois de mettre un dispositif de sécurité. Ce produit est génial pour protéger mes caméras et pour ma tranquillité d'esprit.
