Is GardePro Legit? We Put the X60P Live Max to the Test in Real Hunting Conditions
By Jonny | HuntXP Gear Team
When it comes to trail cameras, you can either pay top dollar for a big name—or roll the dice on something new. GardePro is still a newer brand to U.S. hunters, and we know what you're thinking: "Is GardePro legit?"
We ran the GardePro X60P Live Max through real hunting conditions — snow, below-freezing temps, and a lot of Midwest unpredictability. Here’s what we found.
First Impressions: Big Solar Panel, Bigger Battery Life
Right out of the box, one thing stands out — the solar panel is huge.
Honestly, it looked a little ridiculous at first. But a few weeks in the field told the real story: 100% battery life, even through snowstorms and cold snaps.
Most trail cams start draining batteries fast once real winter hits. Not this one.
Bottom line:
You can set it up and forget about it. No more burning time and getting your scent all over the place, changing batteries. No more missed trail cam footage when the big one walks by.
Setup and Mounting: Quick, Strong, and No-Nonsense
GuardPro sends you everything you need:
Heavy-duty tree spike and solar panel mount
Separate mount for the camera if you don’t have a good tree
Built-in LED screen for manual setup
Setup was smooth — about 15 minutes — and the mounts feel like they’ll survive rough conditions without issue.
Remote Management: Full Control Without Leaving the Couch
Once your cam is set up, the GuardPro app takes over. From your phone, you can:
Change settings (photo/video, sensitivity, etc.)
Monitor battery life
View real-time photos and videos
No need to stomp back into your hunting spot every time you want a small tweak.
Less pressure. Less scent. More deer activity.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Image and Video Quality: Surprisingly Good for the Price
Let’s be honest — with a $150-$200 cam, we expected "good enough" quality.
What we got was better than expected:
Sharp images day and night
Crisp video playback
Clear sound, picking up turkeys clucking without static or distortion
If you’re looking to document movement, build a hit list, or catch velvet bucks early season, it’s more than enough.
Price Point: Big Performance Without Big-Name Prices
At $150–$200, the GardePro X60P Live Max seriously competes with cameras costing twice as much.
If you’re building a fleet for multiple stands, public land setups, or lease properties, this is a strong value play without compromising core performance.
Is GardePro Legit?
Short answer:
Yes — the performance so far is seriously legit.
Longer answer:
GardePro is still establishing itself in the U.S. hunting scene. Based on our field tests, we can confidently say the X60P Live Max holds its own against bigger brands — especially when it comes to battery life, image quality, and mobile control.
That said, long-term durability is still an open question. We’ll be keeping these cams in the field, through more seasons and abuse, and report back. But for now?
We're happy to keep GardePro in the lineup — and we trust it enough to recommend it.
Final Verdict: Worth It.
If you want a cell cam you can rely on without blowing $400+, the GardePro X60P Live Max is a strong pick.
✅ Solid power management
✅ Easy setup
✅ Reliable photo/video quality
✅ Real budget value
Don’t be scared off by the newer name.
GardePro is the real deal — and we’re planning to run them hard this season.
