Pro Mini Camera Mount Assembly Guide
This guide will show you how to assemble the Pro Mini Camera Mount for Raspberry Pi Zero with your Camera Module 3.
All you'll need is a simple cross-head precision screwdriver, however we'd recommend the iFixit Mako Precision Bit Set as the nylon M2 nuts can be a little fiddly - the 4mm nut driver is perfect for turning these!
Step 1 – In your package, you should find 2 Perspex layers and a bag of fixings, peel the protective film off of both sides of each Perspex layer and clean off any dust.
Step 2 – Place your camera module on to the smaller Perspex panel and secure it with the four thinner screws and smallest nuts:
Step 3 – You'll have eight larger M2.5 screws left in your fixing pack, secure the hex standoffs into place using the longest screws:
Step 4 – Add your Raspberry Pi Zero on top and secure with the remaining four (shortest) M2.5 screws:
Step 5 – Finally, connect the two perspex parts (they push together), connect the Zero adapter camera ribbon cable to both your Raspberry Pi Zero and camera...and you're done! If you have a tripod, you can now secure the mount to it using a nut.

The hole on the smaller Perspex panel is far too small to fit the Pi Camera Module 3. It is not the same as the images shown in your assembly instructions.
