Default how to mount a mini board camera

Hi Guys,
I purchased a mini board CCD camera. How do y'all mount it to your planes? I'd like to put it on a servo to control direction. Do you make a housing for it? I noticed one fellow just placed one inside the canopy of his Cub. I think I'd like to place the camera outside the plane on my particular plane (a Great Planes Lancair with 91 Surpass 4 stroke glow). I probably should have bought one with a housing, but this one was very inexpensive and came very highly recommended by guys on the forum (Mavin Electronics--$28). Thanks for any help you could offer. Also, can anyone recommend a clear disposable film you can place over the lens to prevent oil buildup?
