I currently have 4 cameras on our property, all are lashed with straps to trees, no problem. It just took a while to get them right. But I have ordered a Red 40 and a Black 60. I want to use tree mounts in these two spots. Which is would be best, the Stik-N-Pik or Covert tree mount? .........or is there a more economical one out there which will work well? I'd just as soon buy these instead of building my own.
I havent used either tree mounts, but the Stic N Pic from the looks is the same set up as their regular mount and I love that. If I had to get one I would vote for the Stic N Pic one.
i have used these on a couple of set upthey sit real nice next to the tree easy to use Game Trail Camera Mount Bracket
i have no experience with either, but have read the stic n pic is a good one just as the other products they make... I have only encountered a few times where i could have a use a tree mount, but the strap did get the job done, just not as good. I could see if you were mounting them up in the air, or near a body of water/rock on a steep slope (which is where i could have used one to get it closer to the water). How are you mounting them, just curious? I have thought about getting one or two for the ease o fuse
Thanks for the quick replies, fellows. Donut, one spot will be mounted higher than normal on a tree and the other spot is on a STEEP slope.
oh snap... the minis are up there now..... and they are selling the MPE5 with a free screw in mount for 89.00, Not a terrible deal at all
That is a deal on the MPe5 and screw in mount. .....................Maybe I would be better of buying the Stic-n-Pic Combo Pack which consists of one camera stand and a tree mount. I may eventually want to move a camera over to my mother's who has a small creek out back a distance from the house.
Pm me too! Has anyone tried those rubber straps? I've been trying to attach the cams to these gnarly Utah junipers and it's a pain the butt with the stock strap. I eventually just start cramming sticks between the strap and tree to get the strap tight. LOL I've been looking for a smaller non-ratcheting strap but haven't found any yet.
Do It Yourself Trail Camera Mount | CAMBUSH That's the website for the instructions on how to build them. Feel free to ask any questions as just got done making 15.
I have a wealth of information here no doubt!! Gunna have to ponder this a few hours or days. Might try building the Cambush TAuth41 referred to then again I see some stuff including fishing tackle from the Scheel's link Ky Bob provided.
The link I posted will only cost you a $1 or $2. I would try one. I can't justify spending that much money on mounts. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
went to HD today and the stuff to make 2 of them. takes 15 seconds to put together and is very sturdy. i put one up in the back yard with an MP6 and was a breeze to set up... i will leave it out for a week or so and see how it does. i believe it cost me just over $2 per mount... they didnt have much selection on eye screw and bolts so had to get stainless steel. i will make 2-4 more, more than likely. thanks for sharing that idea
How did you like the mount? I like them for the cost and I don't see me using anything else. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
seems like it will hold up well. the weight of the camera had most worried with the eye bolt, but once tighted down it is rock solid. i wont use them for every camera, but i will certainly have a handful ready to go if i do need them. im sure the stic n pic mount is easier to adjust quickly.. but i will glady take a wrench with me and save $20 per mount. if i can find the metal garden stakes like on that website i will try a few of those out, and could see myself using them frequently... i was gonna get a stic n pic mini, but will hold off.until i can try one with the garden stake.
