HME ETCH Easy Aim Black Metal Trail Camera Holder

The HME ETCH Easy Aim Black Metal Trail Camera Holder is a purpose-built mounting solution for hunters who want rock-solid positioning of their trail cameras in the field. Unlike improvised tree straps or flimsy brackets, this adjustable trail camera holder gives you real control over sight lines and angles—critical when you're trying to frame a specific travel corridor or mineral lick. The design screws directly into any tree, so setup is straightforward and the mount stays put through season after season of weather and wildlife activity.

Once the holder is installed, mounting your trail camera is dead simple: thread it onto the mount, then fine-tune the angle using the full 360-degree rotational adjustment and 220-degree vertical tilt range. That range covers everything from eye-level broad views down to ground-level sets for smaller game trails. A locking knob secures the camera once you've got it dialed in, and a wing nut locks down the vertical position—no fumbling, no slippage mid-season.

Built from black metal for durability and a low profile in the woods, the ETCH is compact enough to pack with your other gear but solid enough to hold any trail camera equipped with the standard 1/4 x 20 threaded insert (the universal mount found on nearly all modern models). If you've been fighting with generic adjustable arms or homemade solutions, this holder takes the guesswork out of camera placement and actually stays where you set it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this trail camera holder work with my camera?

The HME ETCH is compatible with any trail camera that has the standard 1/4 x 20 threaded insert on the bottom—which covers the vast majority of modern models from all major brands. If your camera has that threaded socket, you're good to go.

How do I install the trail camera holder on a tree?

The holder screws directly into the tree. Once installed, you simply thread your camera onto the threaded end, use the locking knob to hold your rotational position, adjust the vertical angle with the wing nut, and tighten everything down.

Can I adjust the angle after the camera is already mounted?

Yes. The 360-degree rotational adjustment and 220-degree vertical adjustment range let you fine-tune your camera's aim before locking it down. The locking knob and wing nut secure those positions once you're satisfied with the angle.

Is the mount sturdy enough for a full season?

The solid metal construction and locking mechanism are designed to hold your camera securely in position through typical hunting season conditions. Once everything is tightened, the camera stays where you set it.
