PDF

Remix of the original to use plastic pin mounts in place of screws and make the base plate shorter so it only covers 2 holes in the Ikea Plasta enclosure. 

This design also uses rectangular magnets, with an additional overlapping frame around the pivot plate bracket to help the camera stay square/level.
