Great idea. How did you join them together? Where did the screw go? Did you have to drill any holes?

Needless to say, a close-up pic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah, so it was easy to do.
Tools:
Screwdriver
Screw

Get the two Planetbike Quickcam mounts from Mec.
Unscrew the plates/shoes off em.
Make the plates kiss, then turn one 90°, but still are kissing.

Screw them together with this: (no drilling needed)

Put the plates back on.

Notice how there is a screw that you can undo? That allows you to remove the plate. Then you can screw it back on.

There are three screws altogether, one that has a sharp end which you either have laying around in your tool box, or you can get for $0.03 at the hardware store, and one from each of the Planetbike-MEC QCam Clamps.

For the ziptie method:

Take off the plates. Then put em' together, and zip tie em'.
