Very sturdy solidly made camera clamp, fairly good magnet too, excellent accessory
I have several small 'action cams' including a Pocket 3, Insta360 GO2, Insta360 ONE X2 and smartphone cameras etc. I am always looking for innovative and practical ways to mount them to add photographic options - espcecially as I am often out alone and don't like to carry heavy tripods and too much gear. I saw the K&F Concept Magnetic Clip Mount and instantly realised it would be something I would find useful.I have other K&F Concept products and know from experience that they produce well made and reliable camera accessories - and they have done it again with the magnetic clip mount... almost.The K&F Concept product arrives in a small branded box. Inside there's the clip mount and an action cam adapter with a 1/4" threaded screw for attaching any type of small action camera.The design of the clamp looks very good and I really like the quick-release feature of the mount section. Just press the small lever and the tapered platform can be slid out. When you slide it back in there's a reassuring click as it locks into place. The tapered shape of the mount base with its angled/bevelled edges means that it is a very secure-feeling part of the assembly.I decided to test the clip mount with a Insta360 ONE X2 - it weighs just over 150g (similar to a GoPro) and is quite a tall shape so would put a little extra 'strain' on the clamp at certain angles. The manufacturer claims that the magnet can support up to 300g. I don't doubt this but feel that it would require very 'ideal' situations/locations as I found the magnetism a fraction unimpressive. I certainly have other accessories of a similar size that are more powerful. The clamp part of the clip is, one the other hand, very strong indeed and there are well designed ridged grips on the insides of the jaws of the clamp. For the intended purpose of clamping a camera onto the straps of a backpack it's an excellent product.I was puzzled to read on the product information page that the clip mount is, "Equipped with a 180° rotation ball head, it can easily achieve..." - I cannot detect a ball head anywhere. However, you can rotate the camera angle and tilt it etc. so there's plenty of movement choices available.Overall I like this product, with a couple of minor reservations as decribed above. For those reasons I have decided to give the K&F Concept Backpack Clip Mount 4 Stars, with it not quite making a full 5 Stars mainly because of the strength of the magnet. For under £20 it's still well worth considering though...
