I also nearly lost one when a raccoon attacked it and chewed through the strap

I'll wholeheartedly agree with that.

This is true. The cams that are really hard to spot are the ones on screw-in mounts with no strap. Especially if they are mounted high and angled down.

Normally for me, too.
Which is why most my cams are in steel boxes (and nothing around the tree).

Stick guy to. I break mine to the width of the cameras but still have had problems over the years.

I still have a couple of cameras with those tilting mounts. Too bad they don't still make them like that, but I'm sure that increases production cost.
I use homemade mounts like several others made from two eyes bolts. I have found using a small cheap laser pointer with a fairly large beam works great to set the correct angle. Most of the time I use a couple screw in steps so I can get the camera 10-12' up the tree. Then use the laser pointer to set my angle. I make a mark on the side of my cameras with a sharpie so I can just line up the laser pointer.
I do similar with laser pointer and cheap climbing sticks.
