    Gonna return the diesel boss system their mounting system is weird. They use the ram mounts to mount the mirror mounted cameras. So it ends up being 8 inches tall. Very odd looking. So I ordered from falcon eye. Itll be here tomorrow. Hopefully their mounting system isn't so big

    I’m assuming you got the rectangle shaped cameras?

    He has another style camera that looks a lot better.

    Your in a 389 right?? Mount the cam directly to the mirror top stud. I’ll get you a pic of my setup and what the cam sees when it’s daylight here in an hour or so.

    Yes the rectangle ones. Sucks to hear he has better cameras because I called them and spoke to them to order these. Then called again to ask about different mounting options cause I'm not putting an 8" mount on my mirrors lol. He said thats all they have

    This is how mine are mounted. I had the install done at their shop and they wanted to use the ram mounts too, Im like umm no there’s a better way. Only thing Im regretting now is making the decision to have them run the wires through the mirror arms. The right side camera isn’t working right now because the cable has shorted out or something. In order to run the wires through the arm they had to cut and splice them, they did send me a new cable under warranty but just havent gotten around to replacing it yet as Im not sure which way I want go run into the cab just yet. I’ll end up ether notching the mirror arm bracket for the cable, or through a grommet in the cab above the door by the rear mirror brace. I mounted the forward cam with a view as close to my view as possible so that it dosent show a car that I couldn’t see if that makes sense.

    This is from his site. I don’t see why you couldn’t mount one of these to a FB antenna bracket. If you have mirrors like @Roberts450 how he has his mounted looks good too.
