Looking for recommendations on good stakes that hold trail cameras for them spots with no suitable trees. I run alot of cameras but have never bought any of the offerings. My wife wants to buy me something for Christmas and thought 2-3 of those would be some I could use

Personally, I use t-posts and just drive them into the ground anywhere I want a camera. I then use t-post camera mounts for the camera.

Slate River T Post Mount
Check out this compact Slate River T-Post trail and game camera mount from Trailcampro! This mount can rotate and tilt, making it perfect for quick positioning.

Yes, t-posts do work well,
but what's the best method for moving or removing them?

I've got a couple of these made from HME that work pretty well. I've never had any problems with these, but I could see a curious deer moving the post around. A T-post would probably be sturdier.

The other HME version is not bad either.

A few years ago, I bought several used regular camera tripods off ebay, then taped them up with camo tape. Sometimes, but rarely, I've had high wind blow them over.
Usually, you can press them into the ground a bit, and high wind is no worry.
I don't use them very often, but they are stable, easily adjusted (including height), very portable.
My preference is steel lock boxes, which can be screwed into most anything wood, including logs and log piles after logging operations.

I don't drive my camera t-posts very deep. Not to the depth of the blade. Just wiggle them and they come out of the ground. But t-posts are much sturdier than the posts designed for cameras. I've tried those and they go over easily.
This is a good holder as well as Cuddiebacks stand they have. I have staked both out in corn plots with no issues. You can tie stalks or sticks to them to make them blend in. But I've also seen some just stuck out in the middle of the field and it not bother the deer at all.
