![]() ![]() If I had lag bolted it to the tree from the inside it would still be there today. I went to swap memory cards today and you guessed it, the camera and box were gone!!! I started to drill two 1/2" holes in the back of the box and lag bolt it to the tree, but figured the 1/2" steel cable would do the trick.guess not! I made the box bullet proof and used a lock that you can't cut with bolt cutters, but the cable was the weak link. Ok as good as this security box was.it was not good enough. I think that I am going to like the way that it works. I don't have the piece of all thread for the adjusting hole yet either. ![]() Now all that is left is to camo the box and put it out. Here is the camera mounted in the box with the camera face open Here is the finished box withe the camera mounted in it Here is the spacer inside the box for the tripod mounting screw Here is the adjusting bracket for the top of the box for the all thread that will go to the tree ![]() Here is the standoffs that touch the tree and the spacer that fits up to the tripod mounting hole Here are most of the parts cut out and ready for assembly I secure the camera in the box with the tripod mounting screw on the bottom. I built it with a door that opens to the side and made the box taller than needed so you can open the door to the camera without having to take it out. I built mine out of steel and there is lots of cutting and welding involved. I decided to use a ratchet strap to fasten the box to the tree and use a cable to secure it from theft. I wanted a box that you could put the camera in and then adjust the angle of the box so you can aim it. Well I finally got around to building my security box for my I-40. ![]()
