Mount a Garmin VIRB on ATV/UTV Rails: Step-by-Step

Quick answer

Use the RAM ATV/UTV rail mount with Garmin VIRB adapter to attach your camera securely to roll bars or handlebars. The process involves selecting a mounting location, assembling the strap base, attaching the camera adapter, and tightening the arm for a vibration-resistant hold.

Installation steps

1. Choose a mounting location: Select a section of the roll bar or handlebar that is within easy reach and does not interfere with controls or your view. Ensure the bar diameter fits the supplied strap and u-bolt bases. Check that the bar is clean and free of grease or dirt before mounting.
2. Assemble the strap base: Feed the steel strap through the base and around the bar, then tighten the screws evenly. For smaller handlebars, use the included u-bolt hardware instead. Do not overtighten initially; you can adjust after positioning the arm.
3. Attach the double socket arm: Connect the arm to the ball on the strap base and the ball on the camera adapter. Tighten the adjustment knob until the arm holds its position but can still be moved by hand. Ensure both socket ends are fully seated on the balls before tightening.
4. Mount the Garmin VIRB camera: Slide the camera into the adapter until it clicks or locks securely. Verify that the camera is oriented correctly and the lens is unobstructed. Give the camera a gentle tug to confirm it is locked in place.
5. Adjust and tighten: Position the camera to your desired angle, then firmly tighten the arm's knob. Check that the mount does not rotate or slip when you apply moderate force. Re-tighten after the first ride, as vibration can loosen connections.
