We recommend mounting your new trail camera at a height of approximately 3 feet off the ground.

The heavy duty 1” nylon strap threads through the strap mounting loops in the back of the camera and will secure your trail camera to trees large or small.

For optimal trail camera mounting, we recommend using the Browning Trail Camera Tree Mount. This mount has a locking gimbal that can position your trail camera at the optimal angle.

The back of your trail camera is also equipped with built in security cable loops. These are perfect for using a locking steel cable or a 5/16” Python cable lock (not included).
