DIY Trail Camera Mount - Cheap and Simple

[@tarzan30809]

Excellent idea and video! I am doing this today

[@damianmartinez9252]

I set up two of these and so far they are doing great!. Thanks for sharing.

[@HuntFishDrive]

Awesome! Glad they’re working well!

[@anthonykontos7931]

Perfect timing I just set up my food plots this past weekend and going have cameras in all four corners. Thanks for your tip really appreciated it.

[@HuntFishDrive]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@kevinboettler7342]

I did this exact same thing it worked great for me

[@bklambert83]

this was a great idea. The only adjustment I made personally was using wing nuts for everything. Makes it way easier to keep things tight or adjust.

[@HuntFishDrive]

Good idea with using all wing nuts!

[@tomthilges2475]

im working on restoring some busted sheds, after those are repaired im going to make one of these. Thanks for posting this.

[@HuntFishDrive]

+tom thilges no problem, I thought it was a slick little project. Sounds like repairing sheds could be an interesting project as well! Good luck 👍

Just want to add, the thread pitch for the eye bolt that goes to the camera is, 1/4" x 20. I know there is at least one other thread pitch for 1/4 inch bolts. Just want to cut down on confusion.

[@HuntFishDrive]

Good point, thanks!

[@dlc1119]

All cameras use 1/4-20 threads, in the 'National Coarse' series. The 'other' thread is 1/4-28 which is 'fine' thread. (The 20 and 28 are # of threads per inch respectively.)

[@BrokenMonkeyProductions]

Any updates on what you think of it after using it?

[@HuntFishDrive]

Great question, still works well! I haven’t had any issues with them yet.

[@jakedeal6508]

That was neat, might have to try that.Have you checked the footage over at the den? Also, I'm looking forward to your fishing videos, I posted a fishing video on my channel. Unfortunately, it looks like shed hunting is over for the year due to all the greens growing in the woods.

[@HuntFishDrive]

+Jake Deal I'm actually planning to check the trail cam on the den this weekend, hopefully something is on there. Heck yeah, I'll check your fishing video out! I can't wait to get out fishing. And you're right about shed hunting, got thick here the last couple days. Thanks for the comment buddy 👍

[@robertthompson7699]

Yea that was a cool idea I like that I got one for ya design something cool that you can hang some sheds on around the house lol I'm just throwing that out there good educated video my brother see ya next vid.

[@HuntFishDrive]

+Robert Thompson that's funny you mention something to hang sheds on, I've been thinking about the same thing! I have them laying around the garage everywhere now, gotta figure something out lol. Thanks brother, once again, appreciate the kind words. Catch ya soon!

[@yohanriendeau4681]

great video dude I'll try it great way to save money

[@HuntFishDrive]

+Yohan Riendeau thanks! Heck yeah, I figure it's worth a try since it's so inexpensive 👍

[@shawnzink6716]

Awesomeness 👍

[@jamesvatter5729]

Good stuff! Thanks.

[@shmohnshmohn1700]

I have a place where I want to try this. But to make it a little more resistant to thieves and bears, I'll bring along a short sledge hammer to pound the post deep enough that it'll be hard to pull out by hand, and I'll drill a hole through the post to attach a python cable lock to the camera. I almost always use security boxes with my cameras too, as bears are a real issue - I'd have lost several cameras to them without the box and the python.

[@HuntFishDrive]

Great tips!

[@danielbrady2979]

never thought of that idea

[@HuntFishDrive]

+Daniel Brady I hadn't either. I'm going to make a few more and see how they hold up. Have a good one 👍

[@tokyodragonmasterlee409]

Nice

[@usernamemykel]

Wow - your camera seems to have a "fish eye" lens!

[@HuntFishDrive]

I know what you’re saying. It’s a GoPro, and for a period of time it was on the wide setting, which def didn’t help. Good call though.

[@williamtarr9758]

Just curious about thieves

[@HuntFishDrive]

+Willy T valid point for sure. It definitely makes the camera stand out more than if it's attached to a tree. I thought about painting up the fence post and hardware with some flat camo paint but haven't done that yet. Otherwise a couple fake Christmas tree branches or something like that might help too? Good thought though.

[@williamtarr9758]

Hunt Fish Drive great video I'll definitely be making one good job cheers

[@HuntFishDrive]

+Willy T thanks!! Good luck, I'm going to make more as well 👍

[@usernamemykel]

Some are in jail, some not. They come in all shapes, ages, sizes, sexes, ethnicity. If you need more info, either Google or Wikileaks will help.

[@shyammehara1500]

[@Hugo-Hernandez]

[@HuntFishDrive]

Awesome! Glad to help out! Appreciate you letting me know 👍
