Portable Game Cam Stand

[AggieHunter]

I was moving a camera today and got to thinking that instead of constantly driving t-posts (and pulling them if they're not at feeders) I'd just build a portable stand. I'll try to get some better pictures tomorrow when I get a camera other than my phone.

looks great! better then the one I made of scrap. but mine works well and it sure makes it nice to and easy to set up.

Sweet!



I just use 5 gal buckets half full of quickcrete and a 4x4 post.

[AggieBall]

made mine with 2x6 and 2x4. I also used eye bolts on legs to drive rebar through. solid.

looks great but at my lease the pigs and cows would try to rub up against it.
good ideas here

Yep. That's what I use too.

BTW, I like the stand. My only concern is how stable it would be around cattle. Sometimes, we even have to drive a stake in the ground to secure our buckets to.

No cattle here... Might have a problem w/ hogs though. If I do, I'll probably go back to driving t-posts. I wanted this mainly to temporarily set up if we're scouting areas away from feeders but i'm trying it out at a feeder now. Those buckets don't look light!

Trust me, they are NOT light!! in fact, they are probably heavier than they appear.

Your set up is much more functional/practical for temporary set-ups and frequent moving. Especially, if you don't have cattle. Again, great job!!

Nice one......i might have to try that style out.

add a couple of large washers at the feet and drive some rebar to secure it, but if a cow wants to use it or even a camera on a tree fora sctarching post it won't hold up... ;-O

Nice ideas.

I welded a couple of pieces of angle/flanges to a piece of chain link rail.
One holds the camera and one for the battery. Drive a small t-post and put the pipe over it.. will take a pick of it this weekend works great and easy enough to move.

camera stands

I made these a few weeks ago off another THBer's design.
I used brand new home depot buckets and the cured concrete popped right out.
I will never strap a camera to a tree again.

What kind of bracket is that attaching the camera to the pole?
