This mount allows you to attach Raspberry Pi camera directly to the bed of Monoprice Select Mini, for a great videos/timelapses and monitoring the progress of your prints.
Raspberry Pi Camera is significantly lighter than, for example, GoPro, so it won't put much strain on the bed/stepper motor. Also, many of us already have a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint, so this is an easy addition.
See a video of the mount in use:

Note that there are 2 alternative camera mounts: one directly for the Raspberry Pi and one for a camera case I had (link below), and decided to make one mount for it too - for those of us that prefer the camera to be enclosed. Both designs have been tested.
Requirements:
- Raspberry Pi (1/2/3/anything that runs OctoPrint/OctoPi)
- Raspberry Pi Camera (V1 or V2, Note: I only have V1 thus I haven't tried with V2 myself, I'm hoping it should work as well as the size seems to be same)
- longer camera cable: https://www.amazon.com/g
