  • Trail cam mounting apparatus and method
    Patent number: 12523926
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for facilitating the attachment of a trail camera to a tree or other outdoor object. The apparatus includes a plurality of bistable bands arranged parallel to one another and a flexible cover enclosing the plurality of bistable bands. Each of the bistable bands has respective first and second mechanically stable shapes. The first mechanically stable shape is substantially linear and the second mechanically stable shape is arcuate or coiled. Each of the bistable bands has a spring force when moving from the first mechanically stable shape to the second mechanically stable shape. The cover and plurality of bands are arranged such that the spring forces of the plurality of bistable bands are cumulative, and thus the apparatus provides adequate wrapping and holding strength to secure the camera to the tree or other object.
