How To Make A Trail Cam Mount

#trailcam #howtomake #cameramount
In this video I show you how you can make your own trail camera mount that is cheap and works! Can even adjust the angle of the camera to fit any tree or height you place the camera!

Brilliant, looks like I’m heading to the hardware store.

Great idea! Just got a couple cameras for Christmas and no more screw in mounts left that I purchased. I’ll be making a couple this week! Thanks!

Work great been using the same time setup for 20 years .

Extremely easy to make, extremely cheap, works great.

Perfect! Was noodling on this recently and thought I’d check to see what people have done. This is simple, effective, and cheap! Thank you!!

I've been making and using this set up for several years! Works great!!

I have been running these for 6 or 8 years.
I modified mine a little. The head of the my hex bolts are welded to the washer, which are also welded to the lag screw. This makes the bolt immobile once the lag is screwed into the tree. That way, when you spin the wing nut, the bolt doesn’t just spin, it actually tightens tight. I also use a smaller wing nut on the eye bolt so I can tighten it tightly against the insert on the camera by hand. A tool-less install that is always solid.

I know this is 3 yrs old, but man I just found it and made up some. Thanks!

Very clever, off to the hardware store now.

Jamming in the stick to adjust the camera made me LOL. I'm done with the stick technique. Thanks for the video.

[VincentWestberg]

I can not believe I didnt think of this. Thank you so much

Great idea. I just made one. I found a thumb bolt at the hardware store and used a wing nut on the other end to hold the eye bolts and washers together. Works great!

[sherry]

What a cool and ingenious idea, thank you. 😊

[KJAdventures]

Thank you. This works great! I just set up two after your video.

[clayhaddon]

Wow thank you so much that really helps

[anthonykontos]

Perfect timing for setting out some cameras on my new food plots thanks for the tip

Actually thought I invented exactly this back in 2013, lol. Agree 100% best way to hang a camera, also hang them high. I just subscribed, no stranger to PA, on the border or Easton in NJ. Good luck this season broski.

Man, really glad I found this video. Phenomenal idea. Preciate it.

I've made these, they are really good, far better than straps. Putting cameras high helps, or putting them low on a ground spike can also help. I'd highly recommend camouflaging the camera - just hot glue gun ghillie suit scrim etc to the case. Plastic Ivy or plans can also be good to break up the outline. I'd also think about the field of view and how much of the camera can be seen from the side that just doesn't need to be - putting a camo'd-out camera in the V of a bough is usually preferable to mounting it on a tree trunk. I haven't seen a video that covers all the things that you can do to stop your cameras getting nicked, I might have to make one, but these mounts are simple, effective and I don't think they have a downside. You can check the general field of view using a laser pointer with a couple of clothes pegs clipped to it, sit that on top of the camera and it will give you a good enough indication of where it is looking. Everyone should be making these and ditching the straps.
