Mounting the BirdCam
Scenario #3 – Mount with Standard Camera Tripod
The bottom of the BirdCam features a standard female tripod thread
(size:
1/4
– 20). This enables the BirdCam to work with the vast majority
of standard camera tripods. Camera tripods offer great stability and
adjustability, so they are a great option to use with the BirdCam. (Note:
Most tripods are NOT weatherproof.)
Shooting through Glass Windows
A tripod is a great option for users
who want to setup the BirdCam
indoors, aimed out of a window.
However, the BirdCam’s infrared
sensor
can not detect bird
activity through a pane of glass
.
If you plan to set up the BirdCam
this way, use the TIMELAPSE mode
to take photos or videos at a
specified interval. This can result in
more empty images, especially if
feeder traffic is light.
