Phil, nice mount! Looks very professional!

One suggestion: A piece of rubber or thick foam between the camera and the mount to help absorb vibration. It makes a BIG difference in the final video quality.

Here's the one I made. I bought a 3-axis tripod head on amazon.com and then mounted it to a PVC t-pipe and used U-bolts to hold it on with some tool box drawer liner inside the pipe to add grip and help absorb a little bit of the vibration. The tripod head also has a rubber pad where the cam mounts to it.
