ALL of the Lido stuff is top notch! Don't be afraid to drill holes as needed in the aluminum brackets. You can touch up the holes with a permanent marker pen. I have an 891 with a Yaesu remote speaker on a cup mount on a Ram 2500.
Just found your channel. Currently have a Yaesu FT-8800 on the LDO-LM-300 (the whole radio, not just the control head), but I'm planning to install an FT-891 once I figure out where to mount the radio separately from the control head. Vehicle is a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. I'll go ahead and separate the control head on the 8800 as well. So available options is what I'm researching. Great information, great video. Thanks!!! 73 N5NUK. I'm good on QRZ.
Interesting! Back in the 80’s in the heyday of cellular phone installations, I was creating custom mounts for a lot of the European cars that high end customers had and wanted a special mount for the control head of the old AMPs phones. Yes even used the gooseneck microphone extensions with custom made plates to mount some units. Black heat shrink tubing was a good friend for covering the chrome. If the mount flexed too much we even had a treatment for that which worked wonders. Those were some good old profitable days!
Good information on installation I have a 891d and a 500 and it was very helpful. That being said, it is scary that in this day and age you still don't know to shoot video with a cell phone horizontally. It also very scary that you don't do quality control on your videos to catch this issue. Do you have the same lack of quality control on your products?
Yes...we do need a lot of work on our videos, not our specialty. We focus on the content, and now are taking the time to shoot horizontal for youtube and vertical for others. I am very happy you got the information you needed.
Almost anywhere you like. Use additional extension plates mounted to the backside of the original extension plates creating optional location to mount the microphone holders. It all comes down to available space and layout that works for you.

Would this work for the Yaesu 7250dr?

Awesome products and customer service!!!
Will that bracket work with a Motorola Mototrbo Xpr5550 Two Way Radio Remote Head ?
Yes it will as long as you have the optional Motorola remote head bracket for your XPR5550
Where do you mount the microphones?
Almost anywhere you like. Use additional extension plates mounted to the backside of the original extension plates creating optional location to mount the microphone holders. It all comes down to available space and layout that works for you.
wish ther,was,a,shorter plate
