The recorder's base width fits well on a standard sled mounting area.
The recorder's surface is slippery, making it difficult to secure with tape alone.
Cable ties provide an effective mounting solution for securing the recorder to the rig.
A short 75-ohm BNC jumper cable minimizes interference with recorder operation compared to longer cables.
The additional weight from the mounted recorder can help balance a gimbal.
Playback requires tilting the rig to horizontal orientation due to the recorder's design.

This experience comes from a single operator's shoot setup and may not represent all mounting scenarios.
The solution involves routing the BNC connection from the top of the sled, which may not be practical in all rig configurations.
No discussion of alternative mounting methods beyond cable ties and potential screw-based alternatives.
