Camera checked before wall mounting

Disclaimer: I was compensated for writing this review. With that in mind I will do my best to be objective and write an honest review. The white silicone cases are great and fit well. For those who want all black XT cameras to look more discreet these cases are great. Wall. And here's why: the camera is attached to an adjustable bracket that attaches with a screw connection that tightens to hold the camera at your chosen angle. However, once tightened, the hand will not move up or down. When it comes to tightening the collar, it doesn't seem that difficult to play with, meaning it's either tight and the arm doesn't move, or it's loose and the arm (and camera) just dangles without resistance. This becomes an issue when you install the binding and the cutout on the collar that allows the arm to move up and down is not vertical. In this case, the arm only moves from side to side or at an angle, meaning you can't point the camera to get the best idea of what you're trying to capture. In short, we collect the camera on the mount. Lock it and hold it against the wall while viewing the canal. Adjust as needed until satisfied, THEN screw the bracket to the wall. Otherwise, you may end up with a few extra holes in the wall if you need to make adjustments after the fact. Best collar design to allow for arm adjustment AFTER donning would be 5 stars.
