went out today to do some scouting and move some trail cams around... found a spot on a swamp edge with tons of deer tracks but no tree large enough in a suitable location to hang my cam... this is what I came up with, bundling a bunch of sticks behind the back of the tree to increase diameter so the bungees would fit has anybody else ever had to get creative when hanging their cams?
All the time. Worst thing I've had to do was hack off some thorns from a honey locust tree. I use python straps on most of the cams, the other day when I did maintenance on cams...one of the smaller trees I had a camera strapped to had grown so much this year that the lock refused to release. I had to hammer on the strap to get enough slack for it to release...that sucked.
You can also wrap the bungee cord around the tree twice to shorten the cord. I also tie a knot in the bungee to shorten it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I use screw in and threaded eye bolts with a bolt between for all my cams. Can get any angle you would ever need. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Yep.. I've used eyebolts on big oaks before. Lately I just used some garden stakes and smaller bungees, so I can position the camera better, especially on tall grassy field edges where I don't have a tree close enough to the edge.
