Corner Camera Mount

I'm renting and couldn't put holes in the wall, so I designed this corner mount to hold my Google Nest camera using nothing but Command strips. It sits in the corner where two walls meet and holds the camera solidly enough that it doesn't shift or droop over time.

The trick is the two dovetail feet. Each foot takes a medium Command strip: one half of the strip sticks to the foot, the other half goes on the wall. You slide the feet into the dovetail channels on the body, press the whole thing against the corner, then slide it upward to lock everything tight. The upward slide is what firms it all up and takes the play out, so the camera ends up rock steady.

What you need

• 2x medium Command strips (the picture-hanging type with the velcro-style backing works well)
• That's it. No screws, no anchors, no drilling.

How to mount it

1. Stick one half of each Command strip to a dovetail foot.
2. Peel the backing off the other half of each strip.
3. Slide both feet partway into the dovetail channels on the body.
4. Line the mount up in your corner and press it firmly against both walls so the strips grab.
5. Slide the body upward to seat the dovetails fully and snug everything against the wall.
6. Drop your camera on top.

Notes

• Designed around a Google Nest (battery/wired) camera, but the shelf will suit anything with a similar footprint.

If you print one I'd love to see where it ends up.
