I'm sure no one here would, but it has to be said, that even though the child restraint hook is still accessible as shown, I would recommend not utilizing it to secure a child seat as it may not provide the full level of security while attached in this manner.
On a side note, an alternative design would be to use a 1" washer or so (with a proper sized hole for the bolt) in the place of the child restraint clip. It may provide a slightly cleaner appearance.

I had all the items needed in my garage with the exception of a huge washer. I didnt feel like driving to a hardware store to get a 5 cent washer.

Here is how mine came out. A slight variation on the original design and the difference being mine isn't a X (it's an VIII) but it's the same concept.
Parts I used.
Assembled.
Installed. I ended up attaching the camera mount to the bracket with the tilt control handle pointing forward because it wouldn't clear the 3rd brake light behind it.
I just tried it out and it works ok except for the fact that the video is very very shaky for every little bump I hit. Any suggections? I need to stabalize it more or figure out how to absorb some of the shock that is going straight from the chassis right into the camera.
