cheap way to upgrade your mount for most trail cameras

what you need.
a universal speaker mounting bracket (I got a two pack for 9 dollars at Walmart.) They are rated for 10 lbs. and have a 150 degree horizontal and 50 degrees vertical swivel.
2 part epoxy.
sandpaper.
I have the moultree I40 camera. The angle screw on the back is the same size and thread so I only had to attach one screw to mount the bracket. I used screws to be able to removed the mount instead of directly glueing it to the back of the camera. Make sure to use the sandpaper to rough the plastic and metal before you glue them together. I also took one of the covers that hide the screws on the mount and glued it on backwards to add grip to the mount to make it more stable on the tree because the mount only has space for one screw when connecting to the tree. I have been using a 1 1/2'' or 2'' wood screw depending on what type of tree I am using. This has been a lot easier then the strap they give you for the moultree cameras or screw in the back for the cuddebacks.
