1. A mount system for planar surfaces requiring a mountable device, comprising:
a planar rectangular base configured to be attached to the planar surfaces;
a lower clamp disc located within the rectangular base;
an upper clamp disc seated on top of the lower clamp disc;
the lower clamp disc having a circular bevel carved on its upper surface, thus forming a two-plane stepped bi-level upper surface;
an upper beveled surface of the lower clamp disc having a smaller diameter than a diameter of a non-beveled lower surface of the lower clamp disc;
an O-ring positioned between the upper clamp disc and the lower clamp disc;
a tilting plate made from a first material and configured to accommodate the mountable device;
an expansion clamp made from a second material; the expansion clamp comprising a tapered head screw and an expandable mandrel, both made from stainless steel; and the expansion clamp having the tapered head screw located inside the expandable mandrel;
the tilting plate being connected to the upper clamp disc through the expansion clamp;
the expandable mandrel further comprising threaded surfaces on its interior and on its exterior, thus having both male and female connectors;
the male connector of the expandable mandrel being located within the upper clamp disc;
a male portion of the tapered head screw being located within a female portion of the expandable mandrel;
the expansion clamp being expandable by a user turning the tapered head screw to set the position of the expansion mandrel such that the expansion clamp clamps from within, internally;
the male portion of the expandable mandrel being suitable for engagement with the upper clamp disc;
the female portion of the expandable mandrel being suitable for engagement with a male portion of the tapered head screw;
the expansion clamp being assembled using a two-phase glue that has separate activator and adhesive components; and
the two-phase glue penetrating enough to where the upper disc clamp and expansion clamp lock together.
