Hey Brent, remind me, are/were you on JRZ RS PROs? Any binding issues at all, with the arm flipped?

Back then I was on the JRZ Motorsport 3 ways! No issues with binding with the arm flipped.

I'm currently on the Shaftworks Bilanx 3 ways from 2022-current!

On Sunday it was much of the same but this time Carpenter hit a cone on his first and fastest run and I ended up with the time to beat, which most everyone eventually did, or got real close, including Zuehl in the Focus RS on 295s. Michael and I were the last to run in class and I knew that I was going to have to either match his fastest raw time or better it, depending on how "safe" he was planning on taking it. I picked my spots to fix and went for it and was pleased to have dropped a half second, well beyond my expectations, and retook the lead... but only for about 20 seconds lol, Michael came in a few seconds behind me with almost an identical time, taking the win for the day and for the weekend.


Some in-car from Sunday here,

Thanks!

IIRC they use the ball mount from Ram Mount and their bracket to attach to.

I also tried a suction cup mount (without the suction) using 2 screws, which is a bit more stable and centered. added a bungee cord hoping to stop the oscillation. no dice lol

are you using a gopro or other lightweight camera? if I remember correctly ours was fairly stable (hollow rod also) but we did eventually just replace the dome light with a c-channel and aluminum cover plate.

I was planning to use my Hero2 which has a jack for the mic extension. I think the main issue is the mounts are too straight. I need to add some triangulation/support. maybe 2 of those mounts in separate attachment points should do it. There's also a lip on the upholstery, where I had to add some HD foam. For now, I'll test what I have so far
Thanks
