    This quick and easy camera mount is an affordable alternative to the commercially available system that everyone loves. The basic tilting mechanism can also be adapted to mount on standard steel t-posts that you see in barbed wire fence lines, or could be used as a tree mount by changing one of the eye bolts to an eye lag screw.

    I've been using electric fence post stakes on my ground rigs because they are cheap, like me, but the split ring hangers in the design will take up to 3/4 inch rod if you want more stability, and are also available in larger sizes than what I used.

    Please see attached video....



    Hope this saves someone a few bucks, or helps to land someone a Monster Buck!
    Have a great day and good hunting!

    So why not title your post "inexpensive trail camera mount" Rather than taking a shot at a site sponsor ?? Maybe I'm reading too much into this but seems a little out of the norm to me. That being said I will stic with what I have :D

    Didn't see it as "taking a shot" at Stic-n-Pic. I saw it as a cheap alternative for those who probably wouldn't buy a factory made product anyway. I've been in sales for many years, and there are two major type of consumers. Those who will pay for someone else to do something for them, and those who will find a away to do it themselves. No matter how hokey, or jimmy rigged it might be.

    I would be shocked if this post actually took a purchase away from P-N-S.

    But I see you are part of their pro-staff so I get why you took offense.

    Its got nothing to do with my pro staff affiliation. I've been around long enough to know a spade when I see one.

    Last time I looked Stealth sponsors the Trail Cam Forum. Not Covert so he can post what he wants to just like you do.

    In light of recent complaints i've made a few changes to this post, but i dont see anyway to change the thread title. Sorry,
    didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, just trying to save people some money.

    Lol, stic-n-pic themselves are a sponsor of the site.
