Has anyone set up an Osmo Pocket on one of these rails yet?

Just ordered my BYODR so need to get accessories, to begin mounting. I am new to using a rail like this so I apologize for any dummy questions... Can someone confirm if the Smooth Rail is compatible with "NATO" type clamps? I saw a guy buy some stuff off of SmallRig but he didn't' give part numbers. These little devices look great since they have a handy leaver you can pull back and then move them around freely. Plus they should be able to take multiple ball sizes as they have 3 different screw mounts. Just want to be sure this little device will work before I order since its not cheap....

The one below is under $20 so may go for that since it is also NATO type (if it indeed fits)...

I have the same issue . Going to try some better adhesive.Anyone else have an issue with the rail making an annoying creaking sound when driving? I notice it when my phone is mounted and the noise isn't coming from the 67d mount itself. As my wife describes it (she spends more time in in since its her bronco) its like fingernails on a chalkboard annoying.

Patiently waiting for mine
Does the color in the picture match what it actually looks like? Worried it won't match the bronze dash well.Got my Tech Bronze installed and man it is awesome!! Even without anything mounted yet it gets noticed by every person that gets in the Bronco. Great work @EIGHTLUG! looking forward to adding more of your products to this rail.

The Color in the photo is accurate and I love it but it might not be an exact match to the bronze dash. I would maybe chose an accent color to go with the dash.

Let us know what you end up trying and if it works. I dont have mine yet but this sounds like a common theme so might as well be prepared to mod it. Maybe AR will see these comments and supply/change parts going forward...
I suspect the BSR is from having a single attachment point for the rail and having touch points on either side of the IP. Before using adhesive, try putting a thin piece of rubber or felt on the two ends of the rail to see if that resolves the sound you are hearing.

Yep, it appears the adhesive did not stick to either side after cleaning well with IPA before adhering. I installed when the dash was warm and now that its cold outside the ends just continue to lift from the dash when mounts/devices are installed.
Wife wants it removed from her Bronco so I just removed the 67D arms for now until I can resolve the issue. She doesnt know that I have close to $400 into it between the AR, 67D arms, ball mounts & device holders. She’s content with her stupid vent clip magnet and draping the dang charging cord all over her dash.
The same thing happens
I feel like I’m gonna have to make sure it sticks real good to take it off roading at high speeds. Trying to figure what’s best to use without it being permanently stuck on. Besides this little hiccup I would buy it ten times over . It’s quite the work of art . We need to figure out how to make this stick better then a vent clip

Mine popped off once. So then I loosened all the bolts up and stuck both sides down while they were loose, then tightened each bolt back up. A couple thousand miles later and it has not budged since.
Quick photoshop edit.
I love the current design and wish Ford supplied attachments on the outermost portions of the Instrument Panel. There's a lot being asked of that single attachment with that length of rail and the multiple components being added. This isn't ideal, but perhaps the end caps designed differently could tie into the vents in front of the rail to get some additional stability by clipping into these areas.
