A Brutally Reliable Mount with Muscles and a Mind for Mechanics
In the world of camera rigging, there’s an ever-present tension between convenience and security. Anyone who’s ever watched a mirrorless camera bounce off a bonnet at 70mph knows which one matters most. Enter this unapologetically robust mounting solution — a device that doesn’t whisper “I’ve got this” but rather slams its pint on the table and declares, “Nothing’s going anywhere.”This mount is, to put it plainly, an absolute unit. Once fastened down and properly engaged, it holds with the tenacity of a terrier on a trouser leg. The quoted horizontal force rating is 60kg, which might sound absurdly high unless you’ve had the pleasure of trying to film anything at speed — say, from the flank of a fast-moving car, motorbike, or any other mode of transport that laughs in the face of gentle breeze. At high velocities, air resistance doesn’t nudge; it yanks, tugs and attempts outright theft. So while the numbers might seem extravagant on paper, they’re entirely justified in practice.That said, with great strength comes great aerodynamics — or rather, the need to respect them. While this mount could theoretically hold something chunkier, practicality (and physics) say otherwise. Stick anything too big on the side of a moving vehicle, and you’ll quickly be testing more than the mount’s tolerance — you’ll be auditioning for a slow-motion catastrophe reel. Personally, I’d limit my ambitions to action cams such as a GoPro. Lightweight, streamlined, and less likely to transform into an airborne projectile.Where this mount truly earns its keep is in the build quality and thoughtful design. The included magic arm is no afterthought — it locks into position with satisfying firmness, allowing precise placement without the fiddly, wobbly nonsense that plagues lesser models. It also features ARRI-style anti-rotation pins, which might not excite the average hobbyist but will bring a knowing nod of approval from professionals tired of mounts that slowly unfurl themselves mid-shoot like a sleepy sunflower.Installation is refreshingly straightforward — though not idiot-proof, mind you. You’ll need a clean, flat, smooth surface for the suction to do its job properly. Press the base down firmly, begin pumping the plunger like you’re trying to resurrect a tiny bicycle tyre, and watch as the white line disappears. That’s your visual cue: you're now locked in and good to go. From there, it’s simply a matter of positioning your camera using the magic arm and tightening everything into place.This isn't a flashy piece of kit designed to dazzle on unboxing videos. It’s not covered in RGB lighting or emblazoned with slogans about “pro-level performance.” What it is, is industrially competent, technically reassuring, and designed for people who care more about function than fluff.In short, this mount means business. It’s not here to make friends; it’s here to hang on for dear life. And in the end, that’s exactly what you want when your kit is dangling off the side of a speeding car.
