Default Camera Mount for BK Bar

BK Harness for 996/7 has a double-tube section in the center so traditional roll bar GoPro mount will not fit.

Any best practices for how to attach to something like this?

Yeh it's the best mount made....just may have to buy a bigger hose clamp...take the rubber off the one that comes with it, get some plastidip or gasket material to give it grip
Before you order they do have one with an extended arm that may work better for you.
This one

Have the RAM mount already. Didn't realize they made a hose clamp attachment for it. Clever. Thanks again!

For posterity and to close the loop, here's a pic of the RAM mount installed on a BK harness bar with the double thick pipe using the hose clamp included with the product in my link above. I didn't need a longer hose clamp.

What Peter has listed are also my favorites. I have used the RAM mounts for years and think they are by far the best of the many options I've tried. (And I think the standard GoPro mounts are among the worst.)

That's the ones I use as well.

Glad it worked out
