2.1  Installing the Camera Stand 

The camera comes with a camera stand, which uses a swivel ball screw 
head to lock to the camera’s screw hole. When the camera stand is 
attached, you can place the camera anywhere by mounting the camera 
through the three screw holes located in the base of the camera stand.
