Field-built gear, 3D-printed in Texas — engineered to live outside.

Two mounts · One ball head · Zero tools

Any post.
Any tree.
Any camera.

Two 3D-printed, weatherproof mounts that share the same toolless ball-head aim. One clamps a studded T-post, one straps to a tree — both fit every 1/4"-20 trail cam made.

  • Wing-nut toolless assembly
  • 3-axis ball aim
  • Made in Texas · PETG

Step 01 — Anchor

Grab the post. Lay on the tree.

T-Post Two jaws sandwich the studded steel face and key onto the center rib — no slide, no spin.

Strap A tall flat plate lays against the trunk so it backs the camera and won't lean forward.

Step 02 — Secure

Lock it down. No tools.

T-Post Two 1/4"-20 × 2" hex bolts trap in the back jaw; hand-tighten the wing nuts.

Strap Thread the camera's own strap through the high slots and cinch it to the trunk.

Step 03 — Aim

Cradle the ball, squeeze to lock

Both The ball drops into the cradle, the front clamp caps over it, and two wing nuts squeeze pan, tilt & roll dead solid.

Step 04 — Mount

Fits every camera

Both A universal 1/4"-20 stud threads the platform. Build the cam on the ball in your hand, then set it.

Ready

Built to live outside

Both Printed in weatherproof PETG — UV, heat, all-season rain. Set it once and forget it's there.

Two mounts. Pick your post.

Same ball head, same wing-nut squeeze-lock, same 1/4"-20 camera fit on both. The only difference is how they grab on.

The material matters

Printed in PETG, not hobby filament

Most printed mounts are PLA — they sag and crack the first hot afternoon in the sun. Every Sounder mount prints in PETG: tough, weatherproof, and dialed for a steel post or a tree in full Texas sun — not a desk toy.

Questions, answered

Will it fit my trail camera?

If your camera has the standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread on the bottom — and virtually every trail cam does — it fits. Bushnell, Moultrie, Stealth Cam, Spypoint, Tactacam, Browning, Wildgame, you name it.

Is 3D-printed plastic really tough enough to live outside?

This isn't hobby PLA that warps the first hot afternoon. Every mount prints in PETG with UV-stable pigment — tough, weatherproof plastic built to take summer heat, winter cold, and all-season rain without sagging or going brittle.

What comes in the box?

The printed mount plus the stainless wing-nut hardware, ready to bolt up — no tools to buy. Add your own camera, and for the strap mount, the strap it came with (or any 1" webbing).

How long does it take to set up?

A couple of minutes, by hand. Clamp or strap it on, drop the ball into the cradle, and finger-tighten the wing nuts to lock your aim rock-solid. That's it.

T-Post or Strap — which one do I need?

Running cameras on steel T-posts? The T-Post mount clamps the studded face and keys to the rib so it can't spin or slide. Hanging on trees or wood posts? The Strap mount backs the camera flat and cinches tight with a strap. Both aim the exact same way — so if you run both, you only learn one mount.

Where are they made?

Designed, printed, and field-tested in Texas — dialed for real steel posts and real trees in real sun, not a desk.
