Vehicle Rack-Mounted Scenario
Mapping applications may require the sensor to have a higher vantage point. A sensor can
mount to a vehicle's roof rack (Figure 9), where the rectangular base plate is replaced with a
user-provided custom heat-sink substrate screwed into the sensor's round mounting base.

Indoor Tripod-Mounted Scenario
For indoor testing, research, and development, mounting the sensor to a tripod with the
detachable, rectangular base plate is a good solution, as shown in Figure 10.
