Fitted with a 1/4" threaded adapter that screws into the bottom of the camera (fits most cameras but if unsure please call us) the ground spike frees you from the constraints of mounting on a tree trunk. Easily pushes into the ground and allows you to get your camera in amongst the wildlife action!
Note #1:Do not push the spike into the ground with the camera already mounted on it as you risk damaging the mounting point on the base of the camera, the correct procedure is as follows:
Undo the thumb wheel on the side and take the central rod out of the outer spike
Push the outer spike into the ground - a few inches is fine (see Note #4)
Screw the central rod into the mounting point on the base of the camera
Place the central rod and camera back into the outer spike and tighten the thumb-wheel at the desired height
Note #2: These items are hand assembled by us and are unique to Wild View Cameras, as such there may be some marks on the black paintwork where the internal rod is gripped in a vice whilst the camera adapter is screwed in. These marks are purely cosmetic and do not affect the operation of the spike in any way.
Note #3: The Large spike is a chromed metal adapter that screws into the camera base and will tarnish over time, (other sizes are brass) to help stop this, apply a thin layer of grease, Vaseline or petroleum gel.
Easy to adjust and move to new positions. These shorter models will be more robust in windy conditions than the tall version.
Bad points:
Rather flimsy for rough weather stability. The thin profile makes it very easy to accidentally rotate when closing the camera after setting up the field of view.

Great height, well made, fits all the trailcams I have and makes siting equipment easier. Excellent customer service.
Bad points:
In heavy rain water ingress to the spike is an issue but doesn't affect use, and can be dried out easily.
