Mounting your BirdCam Pro
Basic Principles
1. Stability - Mount the BirdCam securely so that it does not move. It should never be hung from above or mounted to an object that moves in the wind. If the BirdCam is moving, it will cause the motion sensor to trigger incorrectly.
2. Focus - Note that the BirdCam Pro lens can be focused manually. This is a snap. Use the included measuring tape to measure the distance between the BirdCam Pro and its target. Set the lens accordingly.
3. Lighting - As with all cameras, it is best to avoid aiming the BirdCam at the source of light (for instance, the sun). Ideally during daytime, position the BirdCam Pro so it is facing its target, e.g. a bird feeder, but facing away from the sun.
On the Ground
For ground-loving birds, set up is simple. Just position your BirdCam directly on the ground. If you’re concerned about it falling over, use the included Stretch Cords to secure the BirdCam to the base of a tree, a post, or other solid feature (a brick works great).
Tripods
For very precise placement and aiming, no mounting method will beat a camera tripod. A standard threaded tripod mount (¼”-20) is embedded into the bottom and rear of the BirdCam Pro. This allows users to attach the BirdCam Pro to any tripod or any of thousands of 3rd-party camera mounting accessories – providing users with a world of creative opportunities through angle and height adjustment.
Mounting Strap
The BirdCam Pro comes with a Mounting Strap to facilitate mounting. You will find slots in the rear of the BirdCam Pro through which a strap can be threaded. Many users will tighten the BirdCam Pro to a pole, post, stake, or a tree.
