I was tired of trying to mount my game cameras with wire, zip ties, purchased camera mounts, etc. Nothing seemed to work as well as I wanted. I decided to make my own mounts. I bought a piece of expanded metal from Home Depot. 24" x 12" for about $10. I cut it into 6 pieces - each 6" x 8". Then I bent the top 1" or so over 180 degrees. At this point I used an appropriate sized screw and washers to mount the camera to the expanded metal.   The metal can now hang over one of the wires on the hog/cattle panels of my feeder pen. A zip tie to hold it steady & I'm done.

That will work! Just have to make sure you have a panel close enough to your feeder.

That's what I love about this site. Innovation. I am not the smartest guy, but I know a good idea when I see one.
