Adapting a Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder two small form factor

As the covid-19 crisis continues on we have continued to enhance our video production and live streaming services. As we have helped other vendors and competitors with their live streaming setups, one of the most important aspects of in studio and on-site streaming for video is tablespace. 

With the ability to have a smaller production footprint, not only is this more aesthetic for clients not... This allows for a faster deployment and a faster strike. 

For the sake of efficiency, we use the Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder. This is an excellent resource card which works both in HDMI and SDI captures. 

One of the nice things regarding the Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder card is that it comes with a small form-factor adapter. The challenge we found was finding the correct hex screw and or allen wrench to remove the two binding screws.

The question:
What type of bit do I need to attach the small form factor plate to my card?
The answer:
HEX 3/32
