I really like this product. I am a horrid photographer but I often need photos to accompany my articles. This car mount for my camera has improved my photos 100%. It works on either the dash or on the window. It adheres very strongly, has incredible tilting abilities, both the hinged arm and the head itself where the camera goes. Holds the camera securely. I am impressed with the product and pleased with the price. I highly recommend this for anyone who has to take photos on the fly or just wants to take a video of a car trip.Our family was planning a road trip, and I wanted a suction mount for my camera that I could attach to the exterior of my car to take family pictures wherever we went. (see my picture in the gallery) I didn't need anything fancy, and I didn't want to spend too much money. This suction mount was exactly what I was looking for.The suction cup is strong and held my little point-and-shoot camera with no problem. If necessary, it could probably hold my DSLR too, but I didn't need to do this. The adjustable arm locked just fine and was easy to use. The part that attaches to the camera adjusted by friction and was handy in helping to point the camera in the right direction.
I did not mount the camera on the interior windshield, but if I did the camera would be upside down because the adjustable arm is not long enough.
I'd buy it again and would recommend this suction mount to anyone who needs a simple one.....and the price is reasonable.
Buy ARKON CMP214 Windshield and Dash Mount for Cameras with 1/4 20 Screw Thread Now
I bought a dash camera from DealExtreme some time ago, and the rubber suction on the dash mount melted on a hot day. So I bought this one to take a chance and see if it will melt during hot (90F-100F) Southern California days. We've been having 90F+ weather for 2 weeks now, and with that the windshield and inside of the car gets even hotter under the sun. This mount is still going very strong under the heat punishment. Seems like the rubber suction is made of higher quality material. I suction the mount onto the windshield directly so I'm not sure if the included adhesive pad will withstand the same heat.Pro:
Suction doesn't melt under the hot sun (90F+ weather).
Sturdy mount. No abnormal vibration from camera footage.
The tightening knobs have not come loose after extensive use.
Con:
Doesn't give you as much flexibility on height and angle as some other dash mounts. You just have to 'settle' with a configuration that works best.This mount can be used also for Garmin nuvi. The camera screw adapter can be removed to expose the ball which works with the Garmin swivel mount.
Want ARKON CMP214 Windshield and Dash Mount for Cameras with 1/4 20 Screw Thread Discount?
I paid a little over 6 dollars for this product so I expected something that was pretty cheap. I only wanted it so I would be able to film in my car without having to hold my camera. (something I figured I wouldn't need to be excellent quality) When it arrived I found it to be VERY sturdy and the suction cup is VERY strong. All of the hinges tighten really well and stay in the position you put it. The price and quality are excellent! Def. recommend this one!
