PROS AND CONS:
– Very Powerful Suction: The suction cup on this mount gives a strong and reliable grip on flat, clean surfaces – I tested this on my car and popped my GoPro on it!
– Adjustable Ball Joint attachment/fixing – gives a versatile range of angle adjustments which makes it suitable for various types/angles of filming
– Magnetic Base: The magnetic mount is very useful for securement!
Cons:
– Price: Some people may be concerned with the price-point that this is offered at but if you use this for your work/filming, and make the most of it, then it’ll feel like an investment!
– Limited Use for Heavy Cameras: The mount may not be good for heavy cameras – don’t even try it otherwise you’ll end up being disappointed, with a broken camera or both.
Adjusting the ball joints was a bit tricky, and it required three hands. The mount worked well on smooth surfaces but is unsuitable for heavy cameras or high speeds. Overall, it’s a solid product, but it’s best to set the camera angle before screwing it into place.
This action camera mount arrived in a sturdy, unbranded cardboard box.
The box contains:
* A large suction cup.
* Metal double ended ball mount with standard “/20 thread screws either end.
* Action camera mount (with “/20 thread socket).
* Magnetic mount (with “/20 thread socket).
* 2 self adhesive metal rings (for use with magnetic mount).
* Microfibre cleaning cloth.
The suction cup is excellent and grips onto flat, clean glass really well. The balls on the magic arm have a rubber section around the middle so they lock securely when the thumbscrew on the arm is tightened. All the connection threads are standard “/20 so everything can be used with any standard tripod or incorporated with another mounting system.
The supplied magnetic mount is really designed for IPhones. I use an Android phone so I’ll be finding a different use for this. The mount gips incredibly well to the supplied self adhesive metal rings so it has lots of potential as a phone, dashcam etc. mount.
I attached my action camera to the side window of my car and went for a ten minute drive. As a precaution I tied a lanyard from the camera to the wing mirror but this wasn’t necessary. I got up to 50mph on smooth roads and the camera was rock solid.
Probably the weakest part of the system is where the action camera adaptor screws onto the ” thread of the arm and it’s difficult to get this sufficiently tight to be confident in it.
All in all this mount works very well but at 31.99 it’s expensive for what it is and it loses a star because of this.
Good mount which quite easy to use.
Perfect for action cameras.
Suitable for Gopro Hero Insta360 ONE X3.
Also can be used as a phone holder.
Durable, portable and well made.
Happy with this product.
And surely can recommend it to all.
Having tested various mounts, this one caught my attention with its secure grip. Its double ball structure allowed me to adjust angles effortlessly, which proved vital during some adventurous drives. While shooting with my action camera, it held firm on uneven terrains. Lightweight yet robust, this mount offers reliability without being cumbersome.
This Suction Cup Mount offers a full 360 angle adjustment, allowing you to achieve just the right angle for your shots.
Versatility is key when it comes to camera gear, and this mount excels in that area. It’s compatible with a wide range of devices, thanks to the three types of adapters it comes with. Whether you’re shooting with your phone, a professional camera, or a compact action camera, this mount has you covered.
It is also crafted from rugged ABS material, so it can withstand the demands of outdoor photography. Plus, it boasts a strong and reliable grip, ensuring that once it’s attached, it stays put. You can focus on your photography without constantly worrying about your gear falling off.
Overall, the Suction Cup Mount is a practical tool that can elevate your photography adventures.
A well made device, with good quality metal parts and rubber suction pad.
NB static load is 1lb (600g), so I certainly would not want to risk an SLR / mirrorless camera here. We certainly are in a GoPro, mini-video camera, dashcam, webcam type territory here. Suction adherence on a flat, clean surface, like glass is very good and the locking joints maintain their orientation well.
As this sort of mount goes, this is amazing as the suction is well, quite incredible size for size. The F1TP Suction Cup Mount is quite frankly a powerful piece of equipment as once pressure is applied via the operating lever, it stays – it doesn’t move, it stays stuck until you release it. It has a standard 1/4″ thread for fixing small cameras/phones such as the Gopro range plus their similar clones. It’s supplied with a double ball jointed arm plus a fairly universal fixing for assorted action cameras as outlined above plus a small cleaning cloth – a nice touch. I tried the mount initially on our freezer door and to get it off was no mean feat, believe me but interestingly (and thankfully!) it leaves no marks behind it on the paintwork. Trying it on our car door was the same scenario: Once on, bit of a job to remove but importantly leaves no marks on the paintwork. The design and overall construction are good and should last if used sensibly as this is one very useful device. Well priced and importantly, works very well
If you want a suction mount for your iPhone, compact or action camera F1TP’s is great. The kit includes the suction mount; a mounting arm, an action camera mount and finally a magsafe mount for your iPhone (and some adhesive rings If your phone doesn’t have magsafe there are a couple of stick-on rings included.)
The magsafe mount works great with my Max iPhone. The suction mount is very easy to use; despite its larger than normal size for action cameras it has an easy-to-use twist lock that turns and locks easily. You can mount the suction cup and then attach the arm to it; that makes things easier. The balls in the arm have rubber O-rings in them that seem to reduce the slack in them — and again the design is great as the lock twist is large and easy to twist — and you can adjust the angle as it’s on a spring release.
I have been using a suction mount with a fixed arm; and this solution is far better; combined with the twist to attach you get a secure mount on glossy surfaces like glass.
I tested this suction mount on my car and it works very well, I added a safety cable so I wouldnt lose my GoPro but it held very well indeed. I also like the easy to adapt mount itself, solid. The included magnetic mount is pretty strong and rubber covered so you wont sctrach your car or indeed anything metal you wish to attach it too. Very good set.
I was very impressed with the quality and sturdiness of this. It stuck and held tightly onto my car bonnet even when i was doing 60mph along a motorway. Great for filming in extreme circumstances where you want your camera to be held firmly and secure.
Would definately recommend this.
This is great for fixing a camera or phone to any hard surface. I use it with my iPhone for taking pictures in low light. It is a very strong construction and the phone adapter has a powerful magnet to hold my phone safely. It is infinitely adjustable with tough and solid adjusters. A good addition to anyone wanting to use a phone camera or go-pro camera with confidence.
First impression on opening the box…this is a VERY nice bit of kit.
I’ve had a number of these types of mounts over the years, bought to hold everything like dashcams, phones, mini cameras etc, but this F1TP mount is the best of this type I’ve had by far.
The pics show the mount straight out the box, with the protective film still over the suction cup.
Since taking the pics I have removed the film and tried it on a window, and boy does it stick well. I’d have confidence in this holding firm, where with some other mounts I’ve got, there’s always a bit of ‘hope’ involved.
Once the base is secured, the ball-joint setup is a joy to use. Supporting the device (in my case an LED fill-in lamp) with one hand, you can easily manipulate the mount to where you want it by a slight slackening of the locking lever. It doesn’t go all sloppy as you would expect, due to those rubber rings around the actual ball joints. A slight nip-up to check it’s where you want it, then a final twist to lock in place. You don’t have to go overboard with the tightening.
I’ll be using this mount almost exclusively with 1/4″ mount, and in all honestly I think they should push the fact that’s a ‘universal’ camera-type mount with an added attachment for Gopros etc instead of the other way around. I very nearly skipped over this listing thinking it was only for those sort of cameras. I’m so glad I didn’t.
Now, included in the box was a separate mount, which isn’t referred to in the listing.
I don’t know if this is an oversight, or it’s been put in as a ‘bonus’.
It’s a mount in its’ own right with a magnetic base. There are 2 metal adhesive-backed rings for mounting it to non-metallic surfaces. I tried one of the rings on the base, and it stuck like the proverbial (and was a right game to get off without bending the ring).
The holding strength will be down to the adhesive quality on the back of the rings, so wouldn’t trust it as near as much as the main mount. Place this small mount onto a metal plate however, and once again it sticks solid.
It’s far more basic of course, and similar adjustment-wise to that usually included with dashcams etc. Still, it’s very nice to have as an add-on.
This is a wonderful high-quality set, so if you’re after something more substantial than the usual stuff out there, you won’t be disappointed.
BIG Thumbs-Up from me!.
Now this is what I would call an impressive suction mount… and it comes with a bonus 6cm magnetic plate as well (which wasn’t mentioned in the product description).
The main suction cup is an impressive 4″ / 10cm and the suction mechanism is extremely easy to operate … and there is zero leakage and provides and extremely strong grip – definitely strong enough to hold a gopro in place – even if mounted on the vertical plane (say the side of a car)
The magic arm is EXTREMELY well engineered and finished
The balls of the magic arms have a red strip through them that can been seen as the arms are adjusted to different angles – this makes it extremely easy to judge the angle of the arms…. so easy to say, keep the camera ‘horizontal’ even with the magic arms are articulated.
The tightening locking finger screw of the magic arm works really well and locks the arms securely.
The action camera mount that attaches to the magic arm is solid.
The bonus magnetic 6cm base has a REALLY strong magnet, and I mean really strong…to the point where it is quite difficult to move/remove – but at least that means it is secure.
There are 2 metal rings supplied – just smaller than the circumference of the magnetic base – there are no instructions on what these are, but I am assuming these to use as magnetic force reduces… stick one on the bottom of the magnetic base and then stick the magnetic base to something, then it then has less magnetic force and is easier to move/remove. Adding both rings makes the magnetic force quite weak.
Overall, at 31.99 (September 2023), I would say that is great value – extremely well made, great suction, great bonus magnetic base and the magic arm is awesome.
An easy 5 all day long imho.
Compared to many of the other similar products in this category, the price and function is reasonable. It’s more expensive than some others (although a few of those have a static mount arm), but cheaper than big brands.
The dual ball head design means you’ve got a fairly decent range to manipulate the position of your camera.
The suction cup is very strong. I clamped it to my table and couldn’t yank it off, and I’m not a small man.
I’ll be using this with a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and I already have the GoPro style mount that’ll let me attach my phone.
As you can see in my pictures, there’s a random black mount with two rings – which there is no guidance on what this actually is. There are no instructions in the box (not that you need them) but there’s also no indication of this item on the photos on the box, either. It’s a heavy metal and I might assume it could be a magnetic mount of some sort – but I have no idea.
It was really tempting to make some bad jokes about how this sucks. But the truth it does and that’s what good about it. So far I’ve found the rubber sucker version does actually stick to any flat smooth surface, glass, metal to kitchen sideboards.
So this would be great for hiding a gopro in the kitchen to see who’s borrowing your biccys. Though remember to take off the protective plastic from the base of the sucker or it won’t work very well. Plus you need to be aware that if mounting this vertically, weight can make a difference to how well it can stick.
On really smooth polished surfaces, such as laminate, you also need to regularly check the sucker hasn’t slid. That’s because if it does it can lose it’s adhesion. However what does work without any issues at all is the magnetic version in this pack.
The magnet is actually very powerful and can take some effort to move. Another thing I found was the universal bar can come loose if you need to adjust the camera angle. But that’s not unique to this plastic version, it also happens with similar metal double ended ball joints.
So it’s best to set the camera angle before screwing the bar to either the sucker or magnetic bases. Obviously it’s not suitable for heavy cameras, but it will happily take the weight of a compact camera.
Nor would I say this is suitable for high speeds or crash helmets, but having this means you could use your gopro as a replacement dashcam.
Overall a solid bit of plastic for holding gopro style and compact cameras safely and securely in place.
Just as long as you remember to regularly check everything is still nice and tight.
The ‘F1TP Suction Cup Mount for Action Cameras’ arrived in a printed cardboard box. Inside the box, there is a plastic tray, but beware when pulling the tray out, as one of the accessories was stored beneath the tray.
The suction clamp seems quite powerful and easily attached to my kitchen window. The articulating arm allows for a number of possible locations, but for me it was attached to the bottom of a Fuji HS30EXR bridge camera, weighing just under 700g.
Adjusting within the limits of the joints, the clamp allowed the lens of the camera to view through the window just above the suction clamp. However, and this is not a fault of the clamp assembly, this is down to the camera I was using, I couldn’t move the camera far enough away from the glass to allow full zoom of 720mm, the most I could achieve was 100mm.
Obviously the further the camera is away from the glass, the greater the leverage it is applying to the suction clamp. So personally I would always have a safety line or two, attached to the camera, on the off chance the suction clamp fails for some reason.
It would be nice if there was an additional articulating joint to allow extra positioning options when using cameras such as the one I have, or just for those more awkward locations.
This suction cup mount is versatile enough to capture footage both in or out of my car.
It is compatible with GoPro devices so you don’t have to worry about your camera not fitting the mount.
Additionally, the mount supports a good handful of other action cameras and phones and comes with three types of adapters.
The strength of the suction cup is surprising and once locked it feels exceptionally strong and I can’t remove it.
It leaves no marks on the paintwork of my car and has a nice weatherproof finish.
It holds both my device and the surface very securely. It’s an excellent suction mount which uses a lock that tightens, so the suction cup becomes impossible to remove from a smooth surface.
The flexibility the construction offers as far as capturing different angles and how stable it is at speed would definitely lead me to reorder it, and I would recommend it to others.
The price in my opinion, is great value. I hope you find my review helpful.
