    I have all my cameras (except Moultrie) on homemade tree or fence post mounts. Most other manufacturers use 1/4" x 20 threads with the hole on the bottom of the camera. Moultries use an oddball thread in the back of the camera. Does anyone know what thread size will fit the Moultries?

    Drill the insert out with a # 7 drill (.201) or a 13/64 drill (.203) and hand tap it with a 1/4-20 Bottom Style tap. Make sure you don't drill all the way thru the back of the case. I'm sure this procedure will void your warranty.
