The Allen listing supplies these details. Its title calls the product black, while the specifications table says green. Confirm the actual finish if color matters to your installation. The reviewed pack contains mounting hardware, not three trail cameras.
Use the three-pack to plan locations
A sensible use for several mounts is to compare observation positions without rebuilding the attachment each time. Mark the intended route, decide where the animal should enter the frame and check whether you can reach that height comfortably. There is little value in preparing three trees that all produce the same obstructed view.
If you move one camera among locations, keep a short record of its direction and settings at each one. Otherwise, a change in framing can be mistaken for a change in animal activity. Leaving unused hardware at a property also needs the owner's permission; a prepared location is not an invitation to install permanent fixtures anywhere.
Thread fit is only the first check
Inspect the mounting socket on the camera you will actually use, including any protective enclosure. A matching thread does not establish that a case, latch or cable has clearance. Start the connection by hand and follow the camera maker's mounting instructions rather than forcing a resistant stud.
Before committing to a position, open the battery and card compartments with the camera attached. Consider how the antenna and an external-power lead sit when the housing turns. A mount that fits the base but makes routine servicing awkward can cost more time than it saves. Do not use an accessory screw as a handle for carrying an installed camera.
Choose a tree you are allowed to use
The documented attachment enters the tree. Check the rules for the specific property before buying a screw-in system; where that method is prohibited or unwanted, consider a permitted strap or independent support. Do not treat the phrase "any tree" in sales copy as permission to modify one.
After installation, inspect the full camera view, then check it again after opening and closing the housing. The relevant question is whether the frame returns to the observation area you selected. Include mounting condition in later service visits, especially after severe weather. A weather-resistant finish is a material claim, not evidence of unlimited outdoor life.
When an articulated holder is a better purchase
The 5307 product information does not establish a specified pan-and-tilt travel or rated camera load. If your tree leans, your view needs a steep downward angle or you frequently change direction, compare a holder with documented adjustment rather than improvising spacers.
The Allen pack is most appealing when the required position is uncomplicated and several attachment points are valuable. It is less compelling when precise angle control matters more than the number of mounts. Check the pack identity, physical clearance and permitted attachment method before comparing prices. Those decisions tell you more than the word universal on a seller's category page.

Frequently asked questions
Does Allen 5307 include three cameras?
No. Allen identifies a three-pack of mounts. Cameras are separate.
What camera connection does it use?
Allen specifies a 1/4-inch x 20 threaded thumbscrew. Check your exact camera and any enclosure for fit and clearance.
Is the finish black or green?
The inspected manufacturer title says black but its specification table says green. Ask the seller to confirm the supplied finish.
Does it have a documented load rating or full pan-and-tilt range?
Neither was established from the inspected Allen listing. Do not substitute the ratings or adjustment claims of another holder.
