Mounting a RLC-410 to a steel bar
-
Relocating my trusty RLC-410 onto a balcony but there are practical considerations which preclude me from securing it to masonry, so the only option is to (somehow) attach it to a 20mm vertical steel bar. Picture appears below.
I'm thinking that u-clamps might be the best option by attaching those around the bar and then to the base, but someone might have tried other solution/s. Any thoughts, anyone?
The post is quite secure and there is room for the camera to one side between the post & the adjacent column.

@jomtiencomplexcondotel_852755888971951 The tricky part would be getting U-clamps that were small enough to match the 20mm bar yet wide enough to attach to the camera. It looks like that metal bar isn't permanently fixed in place. Is it something that was added to prevent a pet or small child from being able to fit between the columns? If it is removable then just remove it, take it to a local welder and get them to weld on a suitable steel plate to match the mounting on the camera. Shouldn't cost a lot and it would be very secure and neat.

Is the bar wider than the distance between two of the 3 camera mounting holes? if not, orient the camera mount so that one hole is either at 12 or 6 o'clock. Use a screw to fasten the mount directly to the bar through that hole.
The other two holes will now be on each side of the bar. Use a flexible pipe strap (or flat stock) across the back of the pipe to secure the other two holes.
