I got to looking at my angled camera mounts and decided they were too bulky. Here is the new and improved version I am using now. They are fairly cheap (2.00) to make and quick to install as well. Many of the different cameras I have are equipped with 1/4-20 threads on the camera somewhere. Everything needed was found at Lowes.
Pieces you will need:
3-1/4x1" Fender Washers
1-#6x1 5/16 Screw Eye
1-1/4x2 1/2 Eye Bolt
1-1/4 Wing Nut
1-1/4 Lock Washer
1-1/4x1" Bolt
Assemble in this order: (Top to Bottom)
Bolt, Lock Washer, Fender Washer, Eye Bolt, Fender Washer, Screw Eye, Fender Washer, and Wing Nut. Tighten to where it will still move but not very easily.
I used a nail to start the hole in a tree. Screw right in and it's ready to go in no time. I plan on shooting them with a spot of flat black, but they do not look bad as is. I believe they are not as noticeable as the ratchet straps. With the swivel effect, you can go as high in the tree as you like and angle camera to your liking. The nut that comes on your eye bolt will help hold your camera from the side to side motion.
