📸 Cuddeback Genius Pan Tilt Lock Mount with Universal Adapter and Mounting Screws Review

This is a good rear camera mount, but first you need to do a few things. First, the hole at the bottom of the wood mount is too small for a long tool with a 1/4" adapter. Second, the screws are T-25 torque screws, so find one in your tool box and keep it along with a long tool in your backpack when setting up cameras, hope this helps.

I bought 5 of these mounts last year and they have worked well. The mount I recently purchased is an updated version of one I previously purchased. However, earlier versions included a "lock clip" to secure your Cuddelink camera to the mount; the last one I just ordered didn't. I thought mine was gone so I called Cuddelink support. They informed me they are NOT included anymore and I need to order the locking clip separately. It makes no sense to me to sell a mount that you CANNOT mount your…

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…

Used previous version of this - great concept - works great. Two things: The metal trigger spring will not rust in less than two years. The new version (this one) seems like an improvement - it's better to have a right hand connector to tighten the left/right cam rotation when adjusting (torx/tip guard is the right size) the cam if you want to tighten it. I don't usually wear them on my quad, but I had a few in my truck tool kit for a mile or so. It would be nice if they included a cheap bit…

I'm on the Not sure about tongue comments, mine came with them. The mount itself looks nice and the settings work well. The problem is using the standard harness that comes with the Cuddeback cameras to attach it to the tree. All of my cameras have a larger battery, and due to the extra weight and torque created by the extra distance from the tree, the strap that came with the camera breaks before you can tighten it enough to hold the camera. Must come with a strap that works with the mount…

Mine came with clips. Installation requires Torx #20Bit. Take 2 since you'll drop the first one when it gets stuck in the head of one of the adjustment screws and falls to the ground in the weeds. Grab extra torx screws to screw them into the tree in case you drop them too. Soft cameras are heavy, so you need to tighten the adjustment screws when aiming. If it's tight and you start moving the camera to fine tune the angle, the screws will loosen just enough for your camera to move and you'll…
