2011 Slate River Camera Mounts

Crooked trees, double trees, and no trees are some of the problems that have plagued the scouting camera user over the years. This company had taken on the task to supply three different mounts that are not only heavy duty but very functional. Those who have cameras that have the threaded insert for a tri-pod will love these plus with their adapter these same mounts can also be used with most cameras on the market. If there was a threaded insert in the bottom of one of Custom ones metal security boxes these brackets have enough girth to hold not only the weight of the heavy duty security box but also a camera that would be mounted inside. 

Three versions are available and the first is the strap mount which attaches this swivel bracket to the tree with a heavy duty ratchet strap that would probably hold a Volkswagon engine to the tree.  Next, is the screw in mount which uses an auger type of screw similar to what is found on deer stand steps to screw into the tree to hold the bracket in its place. Then there is the post mount, which is designed to even fit T posts that are common in farm and ranch fence lines. You can also use round or square posts as long as the girth of the post is no bigger than 2 inches in diameter. 

I like the idea of being able to mount the camera behind and to the side of the tree so the camera will peak around the tree and not be stuck in the open up against the tree. This allows those great double trees to have a camera to be mounted between the two trunks and peak out between the crack or to the side where brush has grown up against the tree and can be use to help hide the camera. Of course, when the strap is used the tell tale strap will be visible around the tree unless you poke a few bits of green stuff under it to hide it. 

Once the mount is secure on which ever place you choose and the camera has its perch on the mount then you adjust the bracket so the camera is aimed into the desired direction and angle and centered on the desired target area.

This is a slick little viewer that will view not only the pictures off an SD card but will also view videos. check out www.custom1enterprises.com for more about this new product they offer.

 Custom 1's angle adjusting bracket for the Bushnell Trophy/XLT camera is a very heavy duty bracket that attaches to the bottom of the camera at the tri-pod insert. There are two different versions of this bracket that in addition the screw attachment there are two more points of anchor. One is by the use of double sided tape across the top and the other is with the self adhesive velcro across the same area. the double sided tape is for a more germinate use and the velcro is if you wish to be able to remove the camera from the bracket for any reason and then re attach it again later. Both of these applications work very well but the velcro method is a little thicker and with this design the python loops stick through the bracket not far enough for a 1/4 inch python to fit through. The double sided tape bracket will allow the python to be used.

Custom 1's angle bracket for the Covert II and HCO SG560 is again a very heavy duty bracket that uses the tri-pod insert to mount the camera with a screw plus you can either velcro or double side tape the top of the camera if you wish. This bracket does not have the option of the python cable through the loops like the XLT model did. This is a very heavy duty bracket and will give you years of service attached to either one of these cameras.

Custom 1's heavy duty Bushnell XLT/ Covert II lock box with python/strap capabilities. This box along with a good heavy Python cable and protected shackle lock will make a very secure setup. A bad guy with a chain saw or axe might get your camera but he would have to work to get it off the tree then double work just to get it out of the box. This is a very neat and secure setup. This same box will work well for the Scoutguard 550 when used with a half inch of foam under the camera. Care must be taken that the choice of foam is the closed cell type that will not take on moisture.

This is Custom 1's angle bracket for the Cudde Capture. A very heavy duty bracket that will work well for that purpose. We did not have that camera in house to get the pictures but I will ask that you imagine a Capture mounted in front of this bracket. I know there are many who would not ever want to make that effort but for the few who are lucky enough to have good operating cameras of that type this could be a plus to its operation. I had asked for someone to send me a cam to use for the pictures and more than one told me they had non functional camera that I could use but those who had good operating cameras did not want to let them go and take the abuse of going through the mail for fear of the camera becoming among the non functional many out there. This bracket would be a definite value to that camera.

Ten pounds of heavy duty protection for the I  and M series lunch box Moultrie style cameras. Top locking bar along with facilities for the use of the python cable and strap. Once mounted the camera angle adjusting screw can still be used to gain aim. Again another first class security enclosure from Custom1Enterprises.

This security enclosure fits both the Plotwatcher by day6outdoors and the Brinno gardencam.  If you need to protect your investment this box will do the trick.
