Ultimateaddons Action Camera Mount – Black Colour

There is a lot of demand for video shot in vertical – portrait – form so that it will play on mobile phones, even though we tend to live in a world that is largely flat on the local scale. Even action cameras are oriented in this way (panorama) however, this adaptor take the mount and effectively twists it by 90 degrees so that the action camera looks at the world sideways, ready for producing video for smartphones.
The actual adaptor is made from ABS so it is fairly strong and resistant to impact damage. The ends are the two and three leaf ends so that virtually any action camera can simply have this adaptor inserted in the mount and the camera can be twisted.
The problem with it is that the end with three leaves – where the camera goes – doesn’t really have enough room before the elbow to allow some cameras’ waterproof housing to lie flat and as a result, they tilt by ten or so degrees from where they ideally should be. This is only a minor niggle though and and if you can accommodate this angle in the way that you have it mounted then there is no problem.
On the whole, this is a nice little adapter that does an important job if you are recording for social media on smartphones.
