Cell cam antenna extender suggestions

As the title says, I’m looking for some suggestions for a cell cam antennae extender. I use all Reveal cams and run several on public land where service isn’t great. I know tactacam makes a version specifically for their cameras but I’m looking to see if there’s anyone who has DIY’ed anything? Or has any other alternatives? I’ve seen some on Amazon with mixed reviews

I know it won’t give me service where there is none but I’d like to be able to have cell cameras in places other than ridge tops. If I can get the antennae 10’ up a tree I think it will help with that.

I use one I got off eBay for my spypoint. It’s an omnidirectional model with a 10 foot cable. It adds on average 1 bar of extra service and did NOT give my cameras with no service ability to access it where I tried it even stretch all the way up into the tree. Best application IMO is an area where service is spotty/marginal but your camera does see the cell network at least intermittently without the extended antenna

I've got some great spots with no/intermittent signal. Would be awesome to find an antenna that would boost it enough to be reliable...
 
Some options here, but no personal experience. I’ve just been looking at getting his external battery box.
