Mounting device for use outdoors
11060661 · 2021-07-13 ·

A mounting device includes a first male threaded fastening member such as a lag screw and a second male threaded fastening member such as a bolt. The male threaded fastening members are secured to one another through a joining member such as a bolt and female threaded fastening members such as wingnuts or star knobs. Tightening the female threaded fastening members fixes an angle between the male threaded fastening members without the use of tools. The first male threaded fastening member typically mounts to a tree, a post, or the ground and the second male threaded fastening member typically mounts to a camera or other electronic device. Adapters can secure the mounting device to steel fence posts or step-in posts. An internal spacing device with a flange prevents wear and tear of components of the mounting device.
