Getting a trail camera aimed at exactly the right spot is half the battle, and the Omni Swivel Mount has made that part of setup a lot less frustrating for us. Strapping a camera to a tree usually means you’re stuck with whatever angle the trunk gives you, and a crooked tree or a camera that tilts too far up or down is how you end up with a card full of empty frames. This mount lets us pivot the camera in any direction, so we can point it at a trail, scrape, or feeder even when the tree isn’t cooperating.
The omni-directional ball joint is the key. It moves freely when we’re lining up the shot, and then locks down to hold that aim, which has meant a camera that stays put through wind and animal bumps instead of drifting off target. Because it threads onto the standard 1/4″-20 insert on the back of the camera, it works with the whole RECONYX lineup, including the HyperFire 4K, HyperFire 2, HyperFire, UltraFire, and MicroFire, and with many other brands that use the same thread. Lag bolts are included, so it’s ready to mount right out of the box.
At $29.99, this is a small, inexpensive accessory that makes every placement better, and it’s an easy add for anyone running trail cameras on uneven or awkward trees. For anyone who wants more control over where their camera is pointing, the Omni Swivel Mount is a simple and useful upgrade.
