Has anyone found an alternate bracket that allows you to unscrew/screw in the camera w/o removing the front &amp; top of the nest box?

I once used a "C channel" plastic strip, similar to what holds little little price tags on grocery store shelves. I screwed one of these into the upper back wall of the birdhouse and then could simply slide the round part of the camera's bracket in and out of the plastic channel. You'll have to measure the back of the camera bracket, as they vary from about .75 to 1". I found the C channel at a local plastics store, but maybe your local grocery store might have one or two they would give you. They only need to be an inch or so in length. By the way, I've tried several kinds of velcro, but attachment wasn't reliable.

I did not try that before. However, there is a screw at the bottom of the unit probably for this purpose. It looks similar to camera mount.

yes, it comes with a plastic bracket that screws into the base of the camera (with a normal screw that you'd find on a tripod to connect a camera) and then that screws into the wall. It's adjustable to support horizontal or vertical installation (so on the ceiling or on the wall or really anywhere in-between from 0-90 degrees). it's not the most-elegant looking thing, as it's smaller than the base of the device, but it is completely functional.

Right at the bottom of the bracket there is a hole where it can be attached the quick release tripod plate. Also there is a set of hollow screws that come with the bracket that you can use for other setups. Screwdriver was included in my bracket

No, I was disappointed to receive the older version of the Frame. It doesn't have the latch. Rather, the box contains two frames, one for the camera and one to fit the camera with the bacpac. Unfortunately with the older version you need to remove the screw at the bottom to mount and unmount the camera.

The bracket that attachs to your cameras base has the option for the threaded hole to receive/attach to your tripod

You could by a rail rig to mount to your camera which raises it out of the way of the knob but what I've been doing is just pulling out the tightening knob and adjusting its postiin on the screw. It's hard to explain in words but you just pull out on the knob and adjust it postion on the screw until it's tight. Lemme know if that helps

I haven't had this for a year now but it seems to me that the camera could be reset inside the mounting bracket.

No bracket. Has a drill bit that allows you to make perfect sized hole. The camera has a locking device that secures it to the bumper of my Denali perfectly. Hope this helps

If I remember right, I had to toss mine. It had 4 screws that were used to lock it on and only 2 of them were unlockable. As such I could not put it on the frame. I ended up going and getting the better known one, a Weigland(?) that worked like a charm. I would spend the money to get the better model if it were me. Sorry....my answer is negative

I just received my gorrillapod, take a penny or dime and unscrew that screw on the top and the one that fits the camera is under that one, I think they put that on there to keep the screw that fits the camera from pushing through the bottom.

I just tried and it does not seem to unscrew at all. There are pre-set filters for taking pictures - fishbowl, old fashioned, muted, etc. Hope that helps.

The short answer, No. I just checked the unit to be sure. However, there are (3) embedded bronze bushings that are threaded. Their location is not symmetrical and they are much smaller than the standard camera mount thread (1/4-20). They might be used for an accessory bracket that could then be mounted to a tripod. May want to check if there is any accessory options they offer. Good luck!

I purchased my bracket and tripod direct from the Suntastics web site. Well worth the money because it holds the panels fully open and you don't have to prop it up on a rock. The tripod is a standard Gorrilapod (see reviews here) that works well for small cameras too.

You can use the tripod adaptor from optrix and the tripod adaptor from go pro and screw them together with a bolt. I have not done this but it's possible.

Nope. The camera goes in from the front and lock nut screws on the back side. There is a lip around the lens that is bigger than the body of the camera. I flush mounted mine and installed the nut from the backside. Only sticks out about 1/8"

It has a standard 1/4 inch screw which fits in most devices. The bottom of the screw has a 'female' thread for another 1/4 inch screw so you wont desperately need another screw for something small like a handheld camcorder especially if you won't be loading the bracket with really heavy items. I use the word 'desperately' because the bracket tends to pivot around that one point and get lose as you use it. Thus, a set up where you can use a second screw to keep it from pivoting would be ideal.
