Ted (and maybe Stephen too),
I see you're using a "slide-in" mount for your camera. I have the same thing for my Oregon Scientific ATC2K camera, and have mounted it on the tail. I won't link to any videos because the quality is, well, without beating around the bush, it's cr*p. But the mount works well. I was also concerned about the camera slipping out, so I put a tether through the wrist-strap hole on the camera, and ran the other end underneath the bracket that I screwed to the tail.
You could even drill another hole in the bracket that you screwed down, and just loop the strap through that. If the camera *did* come loose it would certainly flop around a heck of a lot before you got back on the ground, but you might not lose it.
