My roof-camera mounts involved cutting, drilling and fitting brackets around the equipment. These offset brackets are another purchased mounting form, with a different geometry from a flat plate or simple angle.

The item in my kit
I bought Steel Z-Shaped Mounting Brackets as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
I cut and drilled aluminum bracket pieces for the roof cameras and lights. The camera mounts needed additional holes and adjustments as I brought the assemblies together on the extrusion.
I sprayed the camera-mount pieces with black bedliner during the fabrication sequence. The coated brackets then formed part of the roof camera and light arrangements shown in the diary.

My build notes
The black finish was one stage within the mount fabrication. The holes and profile connections still determined where the pieces could sit, so the diary records the drilling and fitting alongside the coating.
The bracket shape, drilled holes and coating were separate parts of finishing the mount.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The steel and stainless alternatives use L-shaped corners. That changes the joint from an offset between mounting faces to a right-angle attachment.
Steel Drawer Corner Brackets
These steel L-brackets join components at a right angle. Their mounting holes provide locations for attaching fasteners to each side of a corner.
