#### **Single-Screw Mounting**

For simple installations—such as when using a <span class="s1">**MightyPod**</span> or a <span class="s1">**third-party tripod**</span>—the sensor can be mounted using just <span class="s1">**one tripod socket**</span>.

#### **Dual-Screw Mounting**

For the most secure and stable mounting, particularly in outdoor or long-term deployments, a <span class="s1">**dual-screw setup**</span> can be used.

This prevents the sensor from twisting or shifting during installation or use. The <span class="s1">**socket spacing**</span> matches the standard used by the <span class="s1">**Camtraptions Jungle Mount System**</span>, enabling the sensor to be mounted on:

- The ground
- Posts or poles
- Tree limbs or trunks

This system provides a robust, flexible solution for positioning the sensor in almost any environment.

<p class="callout warning">When selecting a mounting method, ensure that the chosen mount <span class="s1">**does not obstruct the rear door**</span> of the sensor when it is opened. If the mount prevents the door from opening fully, forcing it may damage the hinge. Always allow sufficient clearance for the door to open freely for battery changes.</p>
