Product Overview

The Wildgame Innovations Dual Mount Camera Stand is engineered to provide a versatile and secure mounting solution for cameras and solar power packs in outdoor environments. Its robust design allows for flexible positioning and durable performance against various elements.

This stand features a standard ¼” tripod mount, compatible with a wide range of cameras and solar power accessories.

Constructed entirely from steel and finished with a weather-resistant powder coat, the stand is built for longevity and protection. Stability is ensured by a steel kick plate with a 6.5” built-in ground stake, complemented by additional holes for extra ground stakes in challenging terrains.

The stand's height is adjustable, ranging from 29” to 49”, accommodating various observational needs. Integrated hooks facilitate organized cable management, keeping your setup neat and secure.

Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the product's included parts are present.
2. Identify Base and Pole: Locate the main vertical pole and the base with the integrated ground stake and kick plate.
3. Assemble Pole Sections (if applicable): If the pole comes in multiple sections, securely connect them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged.
4. Insert Ground Stake: Choose a suitable location with firm ground. Drive the integrated 6.5” ground stake firmly into the ground until the kick plate rests securely on the surface. For added stability, utilize the additional holes in the kick plate to insert extra ground stakes (not included) if needed.
5. Adjust Height: Loosen the height adjustment knob on the main pole. Extend the pole to your desired height, between 29” and 49”. Tighten the knob securely to lock the pole in place.
6. Attach Mounting Arms: Ensure the ¼” tripod mounts on the arms are ready for camera attachment. These arms are typically pre-attached or easily slide into designated slots on the main pole.
7. Secure Cameras/Solar Packs: Carefully screw your camera(s) or solar power pack(s) onto the ¼” tripod mounts. Ensure they are tightened sufficiently to prevent movement.

Operation

• Adjusting Camera Angle: The mounting arms offer 360-degree multi-pivot positioning and 180-degree tilt capabilities. Loosen the adjustment knobs on the mounting arms to reposition your camera or solar pack. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the knobs firmly.
• Utilizing Dual Mounts: The stand supports two devices. Use the primary ¼” tripod mount for your main camera, and the second modular mount for an additional camera or a solar power pack to extend battery life.
• Cable Management: Use the built-in hooks along the main pole to route and secure any power or data cables from your devices. This prevents tangling, reduces trip hazards, and keeps your setup tidy.
• Relocating the Stand: To move the stand, first remove all attached devices. Then, carefully pull the ground stake from the earth. Avoid pulling on the pole with excessive force; instead, rock the base gently to loosen it from the ground.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the stand with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water and thorough drying.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all components, especially the ground stake, mounting arms, and adjustment knobs, for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure all screws and fasteners remain tight.
• Corrosion Prevention: Although the stand features a weather-resistant powder coat, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can still lead to wear. If any scratches or chips appear in the coating, consider touching them up with a rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the camera stand in a dry, sheltered location to protect it from extreme weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

• Stand Instability:
  • Ensure the ground stake is fully inserted into firm ground.
  • If the ground is soft, use additional ground stakes through the holes in the kick plate for enhanced stability.
  • Verify that the height adjustment knob is securely tightened.
• Difficulty Adjusting Angle:
  • Ensure the adjustment knobs on the mounting arms are sufficiently loosened before attempting to reposition.
  • Check for any debris or obstruction in the pivot points.
• Camera Not Secure:
  • Confirm that the camera or solar pack is properly screwed onto the ¼” tripod mount.
  • Ensure the device's mounting thread is not stripped or damaged.
