Thanks. I posted a few videos with eagletree insert which you may enjoy too in this thread.

I used an AL tube with the following dimensions:
. 5 mm Diameter Outside
. 4 mm Diameter Inside
. 0.5 mm Wall
It got twisted while shooting the last video with Eagletree inserts. The length of my extended CVD is about 330mm. I'd say you should be fine with your choice. I'm now using a steel tube with the same dimensions as your AL tube, but i did not manage to bring my cvd down from 4.5 to 4mm diameter evenly. I hope your cvd has already the proper diameter to fit inside the AL tube.

thanks for the info, and yes, I have 4mm cvds I can use to insert into the Al tubing.

For those of you who enjoy onboard videos. I made a few test runs with a gopro HD Hero action cam mounted with zip ties to my "baja".
