BaseMount
Turn fixed structures into rock-solid camera platforms. BaseMount is a rugged 3D-printed plate that bolts your tripod head to flat or curved surfaces. Use it inside a permenant hide, on a window sill, across a post or railing, for stable, weather-resistant support where tripods won’t go.
Compared to tripods in tight spaces, the BaseMount is a simpler, more stable option. Tripods take up floor space, tip over, and don’t always fit. BaseMount solves this by letting you fix a tripod head exactly where you need it — securely, permanently and with repeatable precision.

Safe Use
The BaseMount is designed for fixed mounting of tripod heads and attached camera gear. Always ensure the surface you’re attaching to — such as a hide wall, window sill, railing, vehicle tray, or boat rail — is strong enough to support your setup. Avoid weak, thin, corroded, or rotted materials.
Use appropriate fasteners (e.g., M6 bolts, screws, or straps) suited to your mounting surface. For outdoor use, corrosion-resistant hardware is strongly recommended. After installation, test stability before mounting your gear — the tripod head and camera should sit steady and secure.
Mount gear directly above the BaseMount. Avoid positioning that creates side loads or overhangs, which may cause instability or mount failure.
Do not use where the camera becomes a dynamic load — such as on moving vehicles, boats in motion, or vibrating machinery. The BaseMount is not designed to handle impact or sustained motion, and such conditions may exceed load limits or loosen mounts over time.
Inspect regularly, especially after heavy weather, vehicle travel, or salt exposure. Replace any worn or corroded hardware. Not suitable for safety loads or human support.
