I had to result to using zip ties and fixed it to my Atomstack A24 Pro. The hole for the clam is too close to the metal brace, and when you tighten down the clamp it pushes itself off of the laser. Without a fix it is 100% useless.

I didn't know how useful this would be until I had it. Trying to line up items to cut without this was challenging and sometimes very error prone (I had quite a few cuts that were just off enough that they wasted the wood which is so frustrating). Once I had the camera installed it has been a life (and material) saver. The instructions were a bit challenging but there are a ton of you tube videos on how to set this up which are very helpful. Calibration is also a bit tedious but very important. Having a way to know exactly where my material is inside my laser bed is so great. No more cutting outside the material boundaries, no more wasted cuts. I only wish there was a way to mount this that fit better into a "normal" sized enclosure.

Wow, adding a camera to my laser using a program called lightburn is awesome. This camera makes it so you can update image and watch the print live while in lightburn. Once calibrated, using it to move your images on your live view workspace is a time saver and material saver. Just calibrate it correctly and use the metal measuring stick for your height above your work material.

I can say that I was not sure about a camera alignment system, but it works pretty well. The image quality is set for the machine software to use so, it is not really super high quality images and there is no sound. The only downside is that the clamping device, when mounted to the laser frame, interrupts the use of the laser. I just mounted it to the work table and no more problem. When not in use by the machine, it is installed as a "looking down " camera for other projects. I like this set up and will use it for many other things in my crafting and hobby work. I would recommend this for anyone that needs a USB self contained camera and mount system for whatever.

Video quality is so-so, not great, but not terrible. Adjustment in the swivel head is limited and requires angling the horizontal arm down to get the camera properly leveled relative to the laser bed. I would have expected a better swivel head for the price of this camera.
