Review on πŸ“Έ Cuddeback Genius Pan Tilt Lock Mount with Universal Adapter and Mounting Screws by Darin Merriwether

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works well BUT it rusts and needs a special tool to adjust it

The concept is good but the material could be a bit heavier and made of a material that does not rust. The Genius mount is a little wobbly in my opinion, so if a squirrel or raccoon is sitting on it, it can change the direction of the camera when taking photos and videos. I was using one of these Cuddeback Genius mounts in my garden and it started rusting after about 10 days. The original mounts that came with the Cuddeback cameras will not rust. Also, you can't use a screwdriver or Phillips screwdriver to adjust the Genius mount because the adjustment screws are for T25 Torx and nothing else. So be prepared if you buy one of these mounts. Also, Genius mounts are designed in the USA but made in China. I have four Cuddeback cameras and two Genius mounts and will probably not buy another Genius mount until the rusting issue is resolved. I ended up buying an Amartisan Torx screwdriver set from Revain and I'm glad I did because Amartisan make quality tools.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
