Thread the zip tie through the holes as shown. It must go under the mount as shown to allow installation and removal of the clip. Do not connect the tie until you thread it through the strap as shown in the next step.

Dog stick mount. Drill a few holes with a countersink so the screws sit flush with the mount. Give it to Rover and get some great footage!
