i got a moultree myself and like all the plastic buckls, i broke mine also but i have used 550cord or small rope to tighten the cam around the tree but i also have metal buckle nylon straps that i got from the army and have used them and i can link several 2gether to get around any tree, except maybe a redwood

. the moultree seems to be affected by the sun and it take a pic of the sun light passin throught the leave and limbs. i had a stelthcam i540 but they discontinued it, when i did hav 1 it workt great till some1 thought they needed it more than me so i bought another1 and used it the last month or so of season and then put it up till the next season and it just all of a suden didnt work, but took great pics and wasnt affectd by the sun as much and pics from both are just as good as any other. JMO on pics. never used cuddyback b/c they cost to much.
