Wildlife Camera Masts and Poles

Wildlife observation and conservation projects often rely on stable camera masts or poles in remote or rugged locations. Whether you're tracking koalas, monitoring bird nesting sites, or documenting feral animal movements, securing your equipment is crucial. Wind, weather, and soft or uneven terrain can all compromise the integrity of your setup. GroundGrabba anchors provide a reliable, drill-in solution that ensures your mast or pole stays upright — and your footage stays uninterrupted.

Pro II Packs

With aggressive flighting and 615mm of shaft length, the Pro II is ideal for soft to medium ground conditions. These screw-in anchors offer superior grip and are perfect for stabilising poles, posts, and camera masts in areas with wind exposure or uneven terrain. Great for remote setups that need peace of mind.

Closed Hook

Designed for use with GR13 series anchors like the Pro II, the ClosedHook offers a strong, circular tie-down point ideal for securing guy ropes or tensioned cables. Hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance in the elements, it's compact, tough, and built to stay put.

Hook Washer

This washer works with GR13 series anchors (Pro II) to prevent the hex collar from slipping through over-sized mounting holes — especially useful when setting poles on timber or steel bases with clearance around 40mm. Provides a snug, stable anchor seat for better tension distribution.

Commercial Pro I Pack

The Commercial Pro I (600mm x 15mm shaft) provides a serious hold for mid- to large-scale installations. Ideal for heavier wildlife poles or equipment towers, especially when extra load-bearing capacity is required in firmer ground. A favourite for professional-grade or semi-permanent setups.

From the founder:

Hi, I’m David Levine, inventor of GroundGrabba. In 2017, Susu and I set out to create purpose-built ground anchors. Today, our range secures everything from tents to tiny homes. We back our steel anchors with a Lifetime Replacement Warranty* and a 100% RISK-FREE 12-month return policy. Whatever you need to anchor, we’ll keep you grounded.

Commercial Pro II Pack

Our longest anchor at 900mm, the Commercial Pro II is made for high-stress environments — including cyclone-prone or wind-swept terrain. The 15mm shaft and extended flighting give it incredible soil penetration and resistance to lift, making it perfect for anchoring tall or expensive camera towers in remote locations.

Stabilising Wildlife Camera Masts and Observation Poles in the Field

Whether you're tracking native fauna, monitoring pest species, or collecting scientific data in remote areas, securing wildlife camera masts and observation poles is essential for accurate, uninterrupted footage. From tall camera towers on exposed ridgelines to short observation poles tucked into dense bushland, GroundGrabba ground anchors provide a reliable, reusable, and easy-to-install solution that helps prevent movement, tilt, or wind-induced failure.

           

In the field, it only takes one strong gust or a curious animal to dislodge a poorly anchored mast. When footage matters — especially in time-lapse or motion-triggered surveillance — even a minor lean or shift can ruin your alignment, framing, or data accuracy. That’s why professionals across environmental science, national parks, and wildlife monitoring projects trust GroundGrabba for their equipment stability needs.

Our GR13 and GR14 series ground anchors are designed for a wide range of soil types and structural loads. For lightweight poles in softer or loamy soils, the GroundGrabba Pro II offers outstanding grip thanks to its aggressive flighting and 615mm length. It installs quickly with a cordless impact wrench and stays put, even in changing weather.

For heavier equipment, such as taller towers, motion-sensitive camera arrays, or poles with mounted solar panels, the Commercial Pro I and Commercial Pro II anchors are purpose-built for serious hold. At 600mm and 900mm respectively — and with a thicker 15mm shaft — these GR14 anchors are ideal for semi-permanent or high-wind environments. Their depth and steel profile offer the kind of stability needed for unattended installations.

Our Multi L Bracket is a go-to solution for rigid pole anchoring. Compatible with all GR13 and GR14 anchors, this laser-cut steel bracket lets you bolt or clamp your camera pole directly to the anchor, providing a stable and adjustable base without needing complex support frames or concrete footings. It’s ideal for 50mm–70mm diameter poles, offering a clean and secure fit.

To round out the setup, our ClosedHook and ClosedHook 14 offer secure tie-off points for tensioned guy lines or brace cables. Whether you're using GR13 or GR14 anchors, these heavy-duty galvanised fittings provide a strong, corrosion-resistant loop that won’t bend or fatigue over time.

When masts or poles are mounted on base plates, footings, or brackets with large clearance holes, our Hook Washer and Hook Washer 14 ensure the anchor doesn’t slip through. These aren’t attachment points — they're safety components that help distribute load, improve fit, and ensure a flush interface between your anchor and structure. The GR13 Hook Washer is suited to Pro II installs with a 26mm collar, while the GR14 version fits the 41mm collar of the Commercial series.

For conservationists, researchers, rangers, or landowners deploying wildlife cameras over long distances or in inaccessible areas, GroundGrabba offers a high-performance anchoring system that’s durable, field-proven, and built for tough Australian conditions. With no need for concrete, digging, or special tools beyond your drill, it’s also fast and low-impact — a must when working in environmentally sensitive zones.

Reusable, reliable, and proudly designed in Australia, GroundGrabba ground anchors keep your cameras where they need to be — focused, framed, and functional.
