The “Cam Pan” comes with a 1/4-20 tripod mount on the bottom, and I have applications where having the same mount on the bottom of the smaller Wyze cam would be very helpful. I came up with an extremely easy “mod” to add this feature. Under the sticker on the bottom of the cam, there are three tiny screws that secure a magnet into the bottom. Removing the magnet and gluing a 1/4-20 nut into the bottom provides a secure tripod mount. I inserted two thin washers under the nut so that it’s flush with the bottom of the cam base. ![20191106_081524](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/2X/2/2f6dd11bbe073fe11ef4167f19e0675c16e8faca.jpeg) ![20191106_081727](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/2X/6/64776f02b09dc5817701261985898d4a0b8f4931.jpeg) ---

Nice mod! I have several of the flexible mini tripods that I use to mount action cams in various places, this would work perfectly for temporary placement of a Wyze Cam. 👍 ---

Great modification. For a little added security you could probably drill a hole in the middle of that square plastic bit that came off and screw it back on. That way if the glue came loose on the nut, the camera would just rattle around a little loosely, instead of falling off. ---

I used medium CA (cyanoacrylate) super glue, so coming loose is a non-issue. If that ever came loose, I’d have to say that the camera would likely be a couple of miles away after the tornado passed through… 😉 ---

its 2019…lots of possible causes of it coming loose…but you might have a great clip of the atomic explosion too as it ripped the camera away lol ---

It seems the best solution would be to incorporate into the design a tripod mount in the center, with two magnets on either side of it so that either mounting option could easily be used. ---

I had the exact same thought. 🙂 Well, close to it anyway. I was thinking if the nut itself was magnetized, it would kill two birds with one stone. But either one would serve the same purpose. ---

An interesting note: lamp shades use a 1/4-20 thread just like camera tripods. So it would be easy to mount your Wyze can to the top of a lamp too! ---

i had a similar thought but instead of modifying the cam, i bought a furniture flush /connecting nut and screwed it onto the post. i have a glass mount which i use for my cam to time lapse my parking lot. ![20191113_044258](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/2X/5/5fc48b6f1b64fb53c3c3421fc815969cd3e2e11e.jpeg) ![20191113_044138](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/2X/a/a49e9d0c2eb124bd4e05acd3efb44594f1b20328.jpeg) ---

If the two washers used to shim up the 1/4-20 nut had holes enlarged to 1/4" dia. (maybe they are already large enough), you would get extra engagement of the mounting screw. Also, I would glue the washers together first and then them to the nut. This would create a larger ridged assembly to be glued into the V2 base. ---
