Default Bracing top of roll cage to shell

Other than welded webbing strips, is there any other methods to brace the cage to car shell.
Cage is a 6pt bolt in one.

I've noticed significant shake on my camcorder thats bolted to the cage, highlighting that the shell and cage could do with some bracing between them.

thanks

Look for multi point cage mounts. I got some for my mk2 cage. Changing it from a 6 point to a 14 point bolt in.
Basics are to add at top of A pillar, dash at A pillar, mid and bottom of B pillar.
