Re: Anyone used the new CMUCam2plus?

Ah yes indeed. We put a piece of plastic dowel between the camera board and the main board, then screwed the camera board into the dowel. There are little tiny holes at the edges of the camera board that we used, but it was rather difficult finding screws that small.

With a redesigned pan-tilt housing from IFI, the CMUCam2+ looks like a much better alternative.
