FAQs
Can I use this mount on a car dashboard?
The mount works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass. It will likely not hold on textured or porous dashboard plastics.
Does it come with a 1/4-inch adapter?
Yes, the mount includes a 1/4-inch adapter, making it compatible with most cameras and accessories that feature a standard tripod thread.
How do I maintain the suction strength?
Keep the silicone base clean and free of debris. If it loses suction, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth to restore tackiness.
Is this mount waterproof?
While the materials (ABS, Silicone, TPU) are durable and water-resistant, you should wipe the mount dry after exposure to moisture to keep the mechanism functioning smoothly.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
This mount is designed primarily for action cameras and lightweight compact cameras; it is not recommended for heavy DSLRs or large lenses.
Troubleshooting
Suction mount keeps falling off surface
Clean both the suction cup and the mounting surface with a damp cloth to remove dust and oils that prevent a vacuum seal.
Camera angle slips during use
Ensure the dual-ball head tension knobs are fully tightened to lock the position in place.
Difficulty attaching the camera to the mount
Check that the CapLock mechanism is properly aligned and that you are using the correct adapter (1/4-inch or action mount) for your specific device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Use the provided 1/4-inch adapter for standard point-and-shoots or the dedicated action camera mount for devices like GoPros. To care for your mount, periodically clean the silicone suction cup with a damp cloth to remove dust or lint that might compromise the seal. Always ensure the device is completely dry before storing it in its folded position to preserve the longevity of the materials.
