Mounting NXTCam on your Contraption
NXTCam-v3 Mounting

The holes on the NXTCam-v3 enclosure are designed for tight fit of Technic pins (or axles) with ‘+’ cross section.

To mount NXTCam-v3 on your contraption we suggest that you use two dark gray ‘Technic Axle 3 with Stud’ as shown.
Insert axles from the front (lens side) of the NXTCam and secure with a bushing on the back or mount it on your contraption directly.

Alternately, you may use blue ‘Technic Axle Pin with Friction’.
