SDW,
Mine arrives tomorrow and I'm not planning on attaching it to the firearm.
There's a video on Youtube where a reviewer loses the second shot in the string while the Garmin is connected to the gun with an 'Area 419' arm.
My take (without any personal experience) is that connecting the Garmin to the firearm is almost unnecessary. If the radar is as forgiving in aiming as reviewers using tripods imply then why would you want to smash it around in the recoil? Sure, there are situations where you want to swing the barrel around to different targets and get velocities, but usually we are pointing it in one direction at one target.
The two Garmin connecting arm/mount businesses, '419' and 'Pro QD' are obviously wanting as much media exposure as they can get. Probably handed out free arms to all the reviewers. This gives an impression that connecting the radar to your gun is normal/preferred.
