Step 2Configure the jar and cam
Tighten the lid to the jar. Examine all sides to determine the clearest view for the cam to see through. The jar seems to have seams and has residue from the adhesive on the label that would create a blurry pic on the cam. Put an arrow on the lid and a line on the side of the lid where the cleanest section of glass is. This will be the direction to mount the jar.
This cam was screw mounted on it's stand. Apparently camera mounts are 1/4-20 standard thread (shouldn't Japanese cams be metric?). Tighten a 1/4-20 carriage bolt into the cam and determine the position of the front of the camera in relation to the bolt. Mark it so the bolt can be installed in the direction you want the camera to face so once tightened it will not shift position inside the jar.
