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

I'm using the Ram mount. The hose clamp that came with it wasn't big enough.

Looks good.

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?

I got the hose clamp from work. It's just your standard hose clamp.

I don't have the stock strut-cross bar in my Z. I have the RobiSpec harness bar.

Just made your mount and it works great. It looks so flimsy with how long the PVC pipe is, but you can't argue with the results. My Nismo is as bumpy as they get and it stays in place with stable video.

6 trackdays and some bumpy roads around here. I've had no problems with the mount. Even used it on my Power Wagon for some off-roading.
