do what i did, take your camera to the hardware store, should have a hole in the bottom for tripod, find a bolt that fits it and use some 5min permapoxy, put it in camera and mark the back side of the bolt with it tight, mount it on top of tx. you can do the same thing for an onboard mount, i did miine in the roof of the body but the camera takes a beating up there. could fab up a mount to put under the body.

That looks awesome. Wish I had the rock to do that. I can't find any anywhere. I put ads up on freecycle and craigslist too lol. This spring mine will be complete. I'm adding about 10 more feet of width. I have most of the supplies to complete it. Total will be like 30 feet wide by 10-15 deep. Highest point of about 5'. Hard to describe without a pic lol


I have added a lot of rocks since this pic. The gravel area is completely full except for walking paths. Rocks range from 4" to 16"
