the shoe insert will act like a shock absorber to help prevent damage to the camera!. good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't fix the camera direct - Get a cheap mini tripod and clamp that onto the front/side/back of the board and then screw the camera onto that!.
THAT way you don't damage the camera and you can clamp the 'unit' anywhere on the board and pivot the camera about for different, cool views!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

theboggart is right!. But if you want to make your own clamp or mount, a 1/4" threaded bolt is all that's needed to mount into the tripod hole on your camera!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
