The Camera Mount I Had to Design Myself

My outdoor camera kept fighting reflections behind glass, and the mount it came with did not line up with the screw holes on my garden shed.

I designed a custom adapter in FreeCAD, 3D-printed it, and reinforced it with heat-set threaded inserts so it would not crack under the screws. It matches the shed holes exactly.

Clean mount, clear picture, no more reflections.
