I have six cameras, four of which use these mounting brackets. Mine are Bushnel, and Tasco adores them.
These should fit nicely if your camera has a tripod mount on the bottom. I've been using these mounts for the entire summer and I'm in love with them!

Nope. I discovered that after screwing in the tree, there is insufficient clearance to screw the camera onto this unit; therefore, the camera must be longer. I've got one of the tiniest Browning cameras out, but it won't spin on without crashing into a tree. I had to back out the bracket, spin the camera, and then twist the bracket back into place in the tree. One thing I discovered is that you must ensure that the camera's aim is at the correct angle, as there is no adjustment. Get something with a ball adjustment type end that connects to the camera if you have the extra cash.
The screw part of the holder should be a little shorter; where I hunt, we have Fir, Pine, and Hemlock trees, and screwing the holder in far enough to get it locked up correctly requires almost destroying the holder to get out of the trees.
Look, these aren't bad for the money, but they're far from great. Because the threads aren't aggressive enough, screwing these into harder wood is difficult. Metal is also flexible (it bends easily). As I previously stated, it isn't bad, but it isn't great. The mounting system for HME products is much better.
I repainted it after bending it 90 degrees. Now everything appears to be in order. I'm going to do the same with the others. The shape of the camera was concave. There would have been no problem if it had been flat backed, but it appears that several brands are shaped this way, necessitating the use of a longer stud or a different bend.
After failing to mount my game cams with straps, I tried these and they're fantastic. They're much easier to position than straps, and they keep the camera in place better. It takes less than half the time it takes to find the perfect branch and then strap it in place with three hands. It worked so well that my hunting buddy went out and bought some of his own.
The job is done with a simple design. It's best if you can drill a pilot hole first, but it'll work in trees even if you can't. The mount is extremely sturdy, and it doesn't appear that it will bend under normal conditions. The only drawback is that the camera itself does not adjust, so you must ensure that the angle is correct before installing.
They perform admirably. To avoid overtightening the mount into the tree, keep in mind how much space your cam requires to rotate onto the mount. Make your life easier by drilling a pilot hole with a cordless drill for oaks and other trees. They have a nice finish and blend right in with the trees! What a great deal!.
Camera holder that is both sturdy and well-made. The screw tips were well packaged and protected. I used them and would advise others to do so as well.
