Reddit reviews VideoSecu 1/4" x 20 Threads Swivel Security Camera Mount 2-6 Inch Adjustable Universal Pan Tilt CCTV Camera Mounting Bracket with Ceiling Clip 1BO

I'm in a dorm room so we have plenty of command hooks and velcro strips from this company. They work really well so far and I have some velcro strips left over so what I was planning to do was order these and attach them with the strips. Should work fine.

This is the mount. I just used the screws that came with them.

You could absolutely get away with mounting it on a shelf. I just didn't like that option because the sides of my cabinet blocked some of the field of vision. I used something similar to this rigging up a rare earth magnet and using the old metal plate from the V2. What I used was not the exact model that I linked, so I'm not recommending that one by any means. I took to ebay and found something like that from China for cheap. I think it cost me about $10 for the magnet and mount, so it wasn't bad. Just want to give you an idea of some of the options that you could come up with if the other mounting options don't work well for you.

I have my 3-sensor setup at head level... about 6'. Initially I was going to place them much higher (around 8'); but came to the realization I would be losing a little range in the bargain. It wouldn't be much, but given the size of my playspace, it was borderline achievable, so I played it safe. I rarely encounter tracking issues.

I'm not much a fan of tripods. I find them cumbersome and tacky. I also don't relish the idea of wires hanging out all over the place, or having to reconfigure or reset every time I want to jump in to a session.

I suggest you find a weekend to spend some time measuring the dimensions of your area, invest in some cord concealers at the local hardware place (you can paint them), pick up the recommended USB extension cables (if necessary), and purchase some cheap wall mounts.

The result is functional, an aesthetically pleasing.

Here are the links for all the extras I bought to set it up.

• Wall mount
  
  
• Wall Mounts 2-pack
  
  
• TV Mount
  
  
• 10ft HDMI for headset extension
  
  
• HDMI Female Connectors
  
  
• 6ft USB 3.0 cable extensions
  
  
• 10ft USB 3.0 extension (for headset extension.
  
  (the 16 ft extension is the one that came when I ordered my oculus.)
  

If you'd like to avoid adhesive and prefer screw-mount for any reason, I used these with great results, $8.89. These also allow fully vertical placement, which it doesn't look like the OP link's do.

Unfortunately the 360 Kinect doesn't have the camera-mount screw threaded hole in the base like the XB1 one does. I know the base of this 360 Kinect mount does. An alternative solution to this problem would be to do what I did, and buy a simple security camera mount kinda like this one and put the Kinect on the wall, behind the TV.

Depending on how much room is between the TV and the mantle I would mount the Kinect under the TV with this.

Works flawlessly and its nice to have varying lengths of mounts.

The tape also wont rip off paint and stucco like command strips will.

Pretty simple really. Just uses a simple tripod mount system. You could even but to cheap tripods from wallmart.

I'm using 3 of These without power adapters and a AmazonBasic for my 4th. Cables can be hit and miss, It depends on your rig.
These are the CCTV mounts I'm using for my sensors.

You're using it for its intended purpose as a camera mount

If the Kinect bottom does indeed have 1/4 20 thread...I am spraying something like this off white to match my wall trim on my wainscoting just under the wall mounted TV. Just Amazon search Camera mounts and possible put it right above the TV on the wall, may get you an extra 12 inches space back.

I went with these. The combined weight with the Rift sensors is still light enough to be very firmly secured with simple thumbtacks!

Opposite corners, up as high as you can, so they're looking down at you seems to work best if you want 360 coverage with 2 sensors. Unfortunately, that'll probably require you to get extension cables, but they aren't that expensive. The front facing setup that Oculus recommends is really fast and really easy, but losing the ability to turn around in VR really hurts the experience, imo.

If you are able to buy a couple extension cables, I'd really consider trying to get them all the way up in a top corner of the room. You may want to consider a third sensor if you really want to go full room scale, too. I have three sensors mounted up high in 3 out of the 4 corners of my room (2 in front, one in back) and tracking is essentially flawless. It's a little bit of extra work to actually mount something to the wall, but it's worth it if you're setting it up for the long run. I used these mounts.

Having extension cables also gives you extra room to work with so that you can properly route the cables in a neat way instead of having them just hanging loose on the wall. I bought some cable concealers and they pretty much blend into the wall, so you really just see the sensor itself. Looks a lot nicer.
