Neewer Fence Mount for Action Camera with Smartphone Holder
Neewer Fence Mount for Action Camera with Smartphone Holder, Shock Absorbing Adjustable Baseball Tennis Court Chain Link Gridwall Bracket Compatible with GoPro Insta360 DJI, PA020 Silve
I found this product was easy to attach firmly to chain link fencing. As has been my experience with other Neewer products, this phone fence mount is well-made and easy to use. The knobs screw down tightly and the elastic bands give a firm grip. As with all fence mounts, one is at the mercy of any movement of the fence: Some are worn and loose, and will sway in the wind or with spectators leaning on the fence. I found it worked well with both my smartphone and my GoPro.
This thing is awesome. Sturdy, secure, & great adjustments to get the best possible picture through chain link fence.
I use a GoPro & normally also use the squeeze mount to hold a battery bank, but have also allowed someone to use it for their phone to stream the games.
I have tried alot of fence mounts. This one is 100%, hands down my favorite (for many reasons).
* It is sturdy. This doesn’t feel like a flimsy erector set solution that is going to bend up.
* The metal hooks at the top and bungie hooks at the bottom is perfect mix of stability and speed to setup/take down. I used these for a season and experienced no fence shake or sliding (other than the whole fence shaking, which the mount can’t do anything about).
* It has a second mount for a battery, mic, or even second camera. Super helpful!
* The mount is designed to pull back from the fence at need. This is helpful if you have a Mevo (which needs to be pulled back) or just a bent fence… or you just want to be very precise with the depth of your camera.
* The whole thing is about the size of a piece of paper. This might not seem like a great thing, but it is large enough to be sturdy, but small enough to fit in a hanging file folder (which is how I choose to carry my mounts around). So this was very helpful to me.
Some improvements:
* I added a double ball head adapter/arm on each of these. I found that this really helps me place the Mevo camera at exactly the angle, depth, and XY axis point I want. A suggestion in case you want to do this too.
* I ended up ordering 3 of these. 2 of them came missing parts. 1 was missing a “1/4 20” screw for the sidecar mount. Looking closely, this side car mount seem to be designed differently vs the main one and is missing a piece that keeps the screw in when not screwed into something. I expect losing these might be a problem without this (so I purchased some on my own). The other was missing the two bungie cord attachments at the bottom. I will point out that the company discounted the one missing the screw (so I could buy some on my own). But they never responded about the missing bungie cords/hood/carabineer legs. I would have returned it but there were none currently available to swap out with, so I just bought some hooks, bungie, and carabineer clips to make my own. The point here though is that consistency doesn’t seem to be high in the quality department with these. Hopefully this gets better though.
I have a need of one more, but they are currently not for sale (otherwise, I would buy another). I am hoping that they become available again soon.
I like this item and it’s hard to beat for the price. I use it for baseball. I attach my Mevo, external battery, and my iPhone if needed. Attached well to metal fencing and netting. I use a Velcro strap when the field has netting, to keep it from moving too much on flimsy netting.
Used this to stream my son’s game last night & it was super easy to use. You just clip, tighten the knobs, adjust your device, and off it went. The ball hit the fence like 3 times during the game, and it held the Mevo in place.
CREATIVE RIG TO SHOOT GOLDEN HOUR SUNRISE & SUNSET IN EXTREME TEMPERATURES ON A LAKE -20
I bought two GoPro Hero 12s for Christmas.
Being a commercial photographer, I’m looking for new and creative ways to do time lapses of the sunrise and sun, especially in extreme conditions.
The extreme weather in Wisconsin creates ice build-up on the shoreline with waves crashing.
I was shooting on the Lakefront at -10, and setting up a time-lapse between sunrise and sunset was a real challenge.
I could not figure out how to mount anything stable near the Lakefront with all the ICE build-up attached to a tree, and it worked great!
This has given me several ideas about where I can position a 180 time-lapse and have an external battery run for 12 hours straight without braking the -20 windchill when setting up for a golden hour and breaking down.
I shot my first test sunrise and sunset over the weekend, and although this was covered in ice, it created an excellent effect for the time-lapse.
I look forward to shooting with us next weekend as extreme weather continues.
I congratulate NEEWER for pushing the creative envelope as a company regarding GoPro mounts.
I’ll be posting a 30-day supplemental review.
YOUTUBE STATEMENT ABOUT REVIEWS AND PHOTOS
I’m in the process of setting up my YouTube studio to create product reviews.
I plan to post a video review of this product on Amazon shortly.
Once the studio is ready, I will upload those videos on YouTube and share them here.
I use a Canon R3 camera with various RF lenses to capture professional product shots for my clients.
My experience includes commercial photography at conferences, conventions, product shoots, podcasts, motorsports, PGA, MMA, and various events in Experiential Marketing across the USA and Canada.
The purpose of creating these video reviews is to help people understand the practical use of the product and how it compares to other products.
This will be beneficial for both Amazon and YouTube reviews.
I ordered this to use with both phone and a GoPro cam for use on a chain link fence.
I was very impressed with the quality and finish of this item.
It is extremely versatile as far as adjusting/mounting on a chain link fence. It will work on more than chain link, but the top arms are designed to loop over the wire of a chain link fence, and are to narrow to fit on some fences or gates that use bars or thicker wood slats.
I haven’t had opportunity to use this in an action environment where there may be wind/vibration in the chain link fence. I’m not sure how effective the shock absorbing feature will be and will update the review after using this in the real, windy world.
This is an aluminum frame to hold a device to a fence or other surface with the hooks. The description is for a chain link fence, but other fence types are possible with additional bungees or even twist ties. The frame comes adjustable hooks the top ones are aluminum arms held by 1/4 20 knobs. There are two holders for phone and other square device such as a SSD or battery for long recording. Also included is a knob mount for an action cam such as a Insta 360 or GoPro. These are attached to the frame with 1/4 20 studs and knobs.
The build is good, the aluminum construction makes for a very light frame so that it can be used against a fence against slight winds. The lower bungee hooks ensures that the frame held in place without flapping. This rig is very helpful for filming games or events behind fencing for long periods. Recommended for ease of use.
