Review on GoPro Official Suction Cup Mount: Ultimate Secure Mounting Solution for High-Quality Action Footage by Rudolph Mceachern

Revainrating 5 out of 5

To return. Confused with no instructions and limited turning ability

Good quality. However, there are many parts and no instructions, which is extremely annoying. You can understand that, but how difficult would it be to put an index card in the box showing what all the pieces are for? The main reason I'm going back and using a competitor's product is the fixed rotation option. You can only rotate the camera in 1 or 2 axis (you need to use an extra part for 2nd axis). Suppose you have a suction cup on the hood of your car that points the camera forward. You can easily rotate the camera up and down (tilt axis). If you add another part, you can rotate the camera slightly from side to side to make it parallel to the ground (axis of rotation). BUT you cannot pan the camera left and right (yaw axis). So if you want it to point straight ahead you'll have to loosen the suction cup and HOPE you're ok and reattach the suction cup to the hood. Repeat this over and over until you hopefully get the perfect result. A ball and socket joint like the Ram Mounts and Fat Geckos allow you to twist and turn the camera however you like to line it up perfectly.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Write later
