Review on HME Products Ground Trail Camera by Jeremy Gorsage

I use a lot of camera traps and was looking for an alternative to trees, straps and elastic cords. I do NOT use wood screw mounts. I tested the HME T-Post holder which is also a great product at a very reasonable price of around $10. But T-Posts aren't as user-friendly as this product, which is a stand and mount in one. I haven't used it for a long time, but so far it's the best for my purposes. My ground isn't very hard so it wasn't difficult to poke into the ground. This is a telescoping pole with a maximum height of 36 inches that I have used and has worked well. Since it only goes about 8 inches into the ground I was concerned it might not be strong enough. Don't worry, everything is fine. Easy to lift but strong enough to get the job done. Contrary to some reports, the swingarm moves back and forth AND up and down. At first I also thought she was just moving up and down, but I soon realized it was just crazy that the control voltage was a bit stuck. Use some more "elbow grease" or loosen the nut. This is very bad unless it significantly reduces the life expectancy of the product. If I can get 3-4 years off a $21 product it will work until something better comes along. Given these comments, I think I'll digress a bit. WD40 on unpainted parts Ignore the complaints about the packaging, although maybe it's somewhat warranted, who cares? something that does a good job at a reasonable price and their complaints about hard plastic that easily cuts with scissors is a waste of time and an unfair criticism of the product itself. The camera mounting screw could be a bit longer but still works on my Browning terrific. The mount came with four rubber washers. I removed three to provide more thread engagement. I am buying 4 packs of these bindings today. When they arrive I'll see if the screw can be replaced. If not, I'm still a happy user. A NOTICE. I use this type of unsecured camera mount on my property. If my property borders public land, I recommend something with a locking mechanism. After being in the ground for about a year, T-pillars can be difficult to pull out once they've been driven into the ground enough. I would recommend a 6 foot pole driven almost 3 feet deep.
