Thank you for reaching out. The RAM POD mount is not really built for rugged applications. In this case, with exception of creating some sort of stabilizer or support, there are no available options through us to add more rigidity to this mount. We do make a more rigid mount in this style called the RAM POD HD, which is better suited to more rugged environments. I have linked you to an example of this mount below.
