I mounted mine on the top of a short (6-8") piece of a 4x4 with the top end cut at an angle to point directly at the sun. I personally use a couple of counter-sunk (WAY counter sunk - about 2") wood screws to attach it to the tree because I don't move it often, but the bungee cord method would make this setup pretty mobile.

I also mount mine of the back side of the tree because I like to point the camera to the north to avoid washout shots.

Thanks for the pics TexasOaks...that gets the mind turning and the ideas flowing!

Good advice as well ErinsDaddy....

Texas oaks, how is you solar panel secured to the board?

Good question... I will have to ask my brother. He set up the design and put it all together.

I used to have a special pole set up for my moultrie cam, but i got sick of dragging it around the woods. Now i just connect the camera to the tree with a bungee cable and a shoe lace. Then i clip the solar panel to the bungee cable facing the sun.

How do you "clip" the solar panel on the bungee?
