This has been my setup for \u0026gt;3 years now. This solution costs a lot more than just the tape but is far cheaper than replacing a single lighthouse should it ever have fallen while using the 3m tape.","subreddit_name":"Vive","author":"andyxl987"},{"body":"i vote cardboard.  \r\n\r\nI am pretty tall and found tacking it way up on the wall on a piece of cardboard let me aim it down slightly and get pretty good arm length coverage in the camera's view.  Adjustable a few ways that was as well.  There are a few post up right now about various ways to hook it to the wall that are somewhat in jest but can give you a few ideas about how to wall fix it.\r\n\r\nIf i were to do it again I would get the extendable tubes that have a camera mount on them rather than the 2 tripods I got for the vive rig's base stations.  The tripods transmit and enhance vibration to the point to where I had to put in shock pads at their bases.  I got a pair of the fovitec tripods.  Great, but at the height I have them they really pick up floor vibration without the pads.  If that's not a potential issue for you, they were nice for the price. \r\n\r\nSomething like this is what I would do if I did it over:\r\nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001BWT2PA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\nmuch smaller footprint this way too!\r\ndown towards the middle of the page you can see a couple mount types that would fit it as well\r\n\r\nLuck,\r\nnex\r\n","subreddit_name":"PSVR","author":"nexiusevaro"},{"body":"The walls are made of drywall, so not as strong as a shower.
