Mounting Psvr Camera: On Top Of Tv

The PlayStation VR camera can be mounted on top of a TV using a variety of methods. The camera comes with a bendable stand that can be shaped to sit on top of the TV. There are also various third-party options available, such as wall mounts, microphone stands, and adjustable TV clip mounts. Some users have also suggested using double-sided tape or velcro to secure the camera to the TV. It is important to ensure that the camera is perfectly horizontal and faces the headset straight on for optimal performance.

Using a tripod or microphone stand

One way to do this is by using a standard mobile phone holder from Amazon to securely clamp the camera down onto a tripod. Alternatively, you can use duct tape to attach the camera to a microphone stand, although this may not look as neat.

If you want to use a tripod, you can also attach the camera to a tripod mini ball using a universal smartphone mount. This allows you to expand the clip to fit the PSVR camera and lock it into place.

Another option is to use a cheap camera tripod. You can use stick-on velcro on the tripod mount and the bottom of the PSVR camera mount to affix the camera.

For a more lightweight and cheaper option, a camera lighting stand can be used instead of a tripod or microphone stand. These are also threaded for cameras and can be purchased on eBay for around $8.

Finally, you can attach the original PS camera holder to a camera tripod using zip ties, and then snap the camera into its holder.

Using a wall mount

Step 1: Choose a Suitable Wall Mount

First, you need to select an appropriate wall mount for your PSVR camera. There are various options available online, such as the XINGBIRDS Mount Stand Holder, OSTENT TV Clip Mount, or the RackSolutions Forza Designs PS4 Camera Wall Mount. Choose a mount that is specifically designed for the PSVR camera and ensure it has adjustable features to fit your TV.

Step 2: Prepare the Wall Mount

Before attaching the wall mount to your TV, carefully read the instructions provided with the mount. Some mounts may require assembly, while others might come pre-assembled. Ensure all the necessary parts are included and that you understand how to adjust the mount to fit your TV securely.

Step 3: Attach the Wall Mount to the TV

Now, it's time to attach the wall mount to your TV. Carefully position the mount on the desired location, which is the top of your TV. Follow the instructions to securely attach the mount. If the mount uses adhesive, ensure the surface is clean and free of dust before applying. If it uses screws or other fasteners, carefully drill or attach them according to the instructions.

Step 4: Adjust the Mount for Optimal Performance

Once the wall mount is securely attached to your TV, it's time to adjust it for optimal camera performance. The mount should allow you to adjust the height, angle, and position of the camera. Refer to the PSVR camera's manual or online resources to determine the ideal height and angle for standing and seated gameplay. Adjust the mount accordingly.

Step 5: Secure the Camera to the Mount

Finally, attach your PSVR camera to the wall mount. Ensure that the camera is securely attached and won't fall off accidentally. Double-check that the camera is positioned correctly and facing straight towards the play area.

By following these steps, you'll be able to securely mount your PSVR camera on top of your TV using a wall mount. This setup will provide stability and ensure optimal camera performance for an immersive VR experience.

Using the stand that comes with the camera

The PlayStation VR camera comes with a stand that can be attached to the top of your TV. The stand is a bendable contraption that counterbalances the camera on top of your TV. It is a bar with two hinges that separate it into three segments. You can bend the hinges to shape the stand so that it sits on top of your TV.

The stand is not very stable and relies on gravity to hold on to the TV. Some users have reported that the stand does not support the camera well and that the camera falls off with one slight tug of the cord. To prevent this, you can use double-sided tape, blu tack, or velcro strips to attach the stand to the TV.

If you are looking for a more secure option, you may want to consider purchasing a separate wall mount kit or TV clip mount stand. These are available from third-party retailers and can provide a more stable and secure option for mounting your PSVR camera.

Placing the camera on top of the TV

To place the camera on top of the TV, you can use the adjustable stand that comes with the camera. This has a bendable design with hinges that you can shape to fit on top of your TV. However, some users have reported that this stand feels unstable and does not hold the camera securely.

If you are looking for alternative mounting options, there are several products available, including:

• A licensed clip for the top of the TV
• A tripod
• A microphone stand and universal microphone clip
• A wall mount
• Double-sided tape or blu tack

When placing the camera on top of the TV, it is important to ensure that the camera is level and facing the headset straight on. You may also need to adjust the camera position depending on the game you are playing and whether you are sitting or standing. For example, for standing games, the camera should be above head level and angled down, while for sitting games, the camera should be at chest or stomach level.

Using double-sided tape

Double-sided tape is a good option if you don't want to drill holes or use screws to attach a wall mount, and it can also be useful if you have a thin TV where the camera might not balance well on its own. It's also a good temporary solution if you're not sure where you want to place the camera permanently.

If you're concerned about the tape leaving residue on your TV, you could try using a product like Command Strips, which are designed to be easily removable without damaging surfaces. Alternatively, you could consider using velcro strips, which will allow you to move and adjust the camera as needed.

Keep in mind that the camera should be positioned so that it's facing straight towards the headset and is perfectly horizontal. You may need to adjust the height and angle depending on the game you're playing and whether you're sitting or standing.
