Trail cam camo

[sdonx]

Never liked how most cameras stick out and are not camo’d well. I bought two Spypoint Link Evos and decided to try something quick. Here’s what I ended up with so far. I may glue some more in the front. This is removable. I alway put my cams out of arms reach, i carry a step or two when setting them.

Looks cool, but will might hold moisture and possibly freeze. I saw somewhere on you tube where a guy used spray adhesive and sprinkled debris (leaves and bark chips, etc.) from the forest floor on his and you could hardly see them even when you looked right at them.

I typically take a large branch and lean it against the side of the cam. Helps break up the outline. Btw your cams look warm....kinda like ET

Dude I like this idea. What kind of adhesive?

Just cut off or find some small limbs with leaves on it and brush it in on both sides. Always hang as far as you can reach above your head...this keeps it out of a deer's line of sight and most people. I've been doing this for years on heavily hunted public ground and luckily I've never had a camera stolen. I even use my expensive Reconyx cameras on public!

I took this picture back in 2013 or 14 when I really started brushing them in. It will at least give you an idea of brushing it in. Sometime later that year, I started hanging them higher in the tree.

Some of mine at black on the sides. I spray paint them. It helps a lot. Spray paint camo usually blends better than the original camo on them anyway. Some 3D brush helps even more.

I may try and superglue some bark/ sticks to the fleece while I'm out there, maybe even thread them in thru the fleece with some black floss. These will be on public land, so I hope to keep them hidden enough. I know they will be high enough.

I paint mine as well using the G2 stick paint process. They blend in pretty good on the tree, not so much on the kitchen table.

Nice!

I sometimes use wood glue and dirt/debris/tree bark - someone did a video several years back Dave Mullins I believe - works great and can be customized to where you hang them.

This guy was trying to stop illegal dumping at the gate to his property and did a pretty good job of concealing his cameras.

This other guy goes into detail on how he camouflages his cameras. He's using Loc-tite heavy duty spray adhesive and cheap white caulk. Personally I would use a brown colored caulk for a little bit better concealment.

I use to build trail cameras in my spare time. I didn’t like that most commercial cams took poor photos. I enjoyed camo’ing the cams up.

I even camo up my commercial cams now

Couple pics off the cams

That’s cool. Great pics too. That’s a different DIY skill right there!

OK you can't just post pics like that with out a DIY build/instructions - it just isn't right.

Is full of tutorials if you’re interested in trying this out.

*Warning it can suck you in just as bad as saddle hunting.
