RangerClay Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Not sure which room this actually belongs in but I'll start here because every trail cam owner should see this. I have poacher problems on our hill. I would like to put a camera on the road but I'm afraid they will see it and steal it. I've thought about putting it higher but never could figure out how to point it down. TILL NOW!

wtnhunt Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Would be cheap and simple to make. Thanks for sharing with us Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 That looks like it would work pretty decent. I usually just stick a chunk of tree limb behind the top of the camera to angle it down, but I only go up 5 or 6 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Simple! Hardest part is putting up the ladder to instal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Only downside i see with that is makes it where using a cable lock might not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Cool & pretty simple. Made some in the past out of wood & used a ratchet strap to hold it to a tree. Typically though, I do the same thing Mudrunner does. Only concern I have with the brush on this mount is how much wind blowing the brush around would trigger the motion sensor.

Adjam5 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 That is a great idea. Joe...I also had issues with trespassers and placed a few of my old non working trail cams all over the property on the trails. Screwed them right through the cam and into the tree.

Turkeygirl Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Great idea, I may have to do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 A good, simple idea. Probably could come up with a simple solution to lock it to the tree. Only concern I have is, if not on private property there is a concern with screwing it into the tree. That would not be legal on state or federal land here in Montana. I just use shims (or a branch if I forget to pack a couple of shims) which work as long as you don't get to high up the tree. It does help to keep the bears and other critters from messing with the camera if it is higher on the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
