Did this fit the roll bars properly? Your video look good with this mount.

The hose clamp that comes with it is too small. I got a 4" hose clamp and it fits great on my RobiSpec bar.

Sorry, thought you were talking about the DIY mount.

I used the 3" one with my RobiSpec bar. Works great. I had most of the parts laying around, except I used a cap on the camera end. image.jpg

Ok thanks! Did you just buy the 4" hose clamp from HomeDepo?
Is that what we call that OE rear strut bar=RobiSpec Bar? or this is entirely a different modified strut bar?

Great job, this is on my to do list for summer trackdays.

About to pull the trigger on a camera(I do not track, but they are cool, so I want one haha) I was looking for mounting solutions, this is it. I would like if the bottom T you cut fit a tad tighter to the coupler, either a bigger T if larger reducers are available, or cut some more off each side so it is less than a half pipe...there is probably nothing wrong with it the way it is, but it would look better. if you paint the clamps and rotate the adjusters to the bottom it will look even better.

Good think my windows are tinted, im sure I will get comments all the time at the store or gas station, look at that ricer with a camera in his car haha....that will be me! It is right above the acc outlet too, will make a charge cord simple.

Like the rear view mirror is useful in our cars !

DIY FTW!

Unless you drill a hole in the housing (!), the charging port is not accessible on a GoPro.

Ha... you never know.

You will still need to drill a hole. The housings are the same, the back door changes.

They do make other frames to hold the camera in that has no back to it. And it has the holes in the side for the plugs. One frame is just for the camera, and the other one is for the camera and battery pack.

ya those are the ones I saw for the h3 rusty!
