Backboard mounting

PostTue May 13, 2025 1:01 pm

I got a Micro G2 this year for my school. I'd like to get another for next year so we can mount them on the basketball backboards for games. I've been looking at various guides like and the idea seems simple enough.

The problem is that our backboard supports look like this:

. I'm not sure that super clamps would fit on the horizontal braces at the top and bottom of the boards. I was looking at the Avenger C1575B Super Clamp but I'm not sure if they can open wide enough. C clamps might stick out above or below the board.

Would a suction cup mount be a better choice or even work?

Here's the gear wish list so far:
  • XLCS Designs BM Micro G1/G2 Cage, Backplate, USB-C Cable Lock, 15mm Rod & Locking 12V D-Tap Cable Kit
  • SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini V-Mount Battery
  • Tilta Tiltaing Pocket V-Mount Battery Plate
  • Manfrotto 244N Variable Friction Magic Arm
  • Avenger C1575B Super Clamp
  • Manfrotto 143BKT Camera Platform for Magic Arm
  • Impact Safety Cable (32")
