You can use window tint but it really cuts back on flash distance.I tried all shades and scrapped the whole idea.

Not much you can do about the clunk in most cameras.I have a few old Stealth I540's that will scare anything within 20 feet.Actually they are fun to see the reactions the critters give when they click.
You may get by on an active scrape if the buck is making noise too.Only thing you can do is try it and different setups.
Myself I will never use a camera that clunks or makes any type of sound nearby where I am going to be hunting.I make enough noise anyways. :mrgreen:

I tape over all but two of the LED's on my Moultrie M-100 and still get excellent pictures and videos.

Black electrical.
I'm pretty sure you can get by using only one of the LED's and still get great videos and stills.

just make sure you don't put a short delay and burst mode, or if in video mode don't put the clips too long of a duration or things could get a little hot in the cam.

I cover all the IR's with black tape except the ones that set the XtendIR's off.And they are covered with the sensor.I have never had an issue with the cams overheating that I know of.
