 Works great July 3, 2008
Exactly as shown. Holds my HF100 HD camcorder upside down very easily. Great product.
 Excellent, but not for off-label use June 30, 2008
This clearly is designed to be a CCTV mount. As such, with most CCTV cameras having top mounted attachment, I have no doubt that it works flawlessly.It is very well constructed and does indeed have amazing suction power and solid construction without any "wriggles".
I bought it hoping that I could use it on the fairly steeply raked windshield of a late model Civic to film driving routes with my digital camera. Even though I have a low profile "ultracompact" digital camera, there was not enough room between the windshield and the mount to allow me to mount the camera - unless I mounted it upside down, which I obviously could not do because of the inability to rotate the resulting movie.
FORTUNATELY I discovered that the Civic has a flat non-porous ( i.e. plastic ) top gauge cover, and was able to mount it on that. But the vast majority of cars have curved top gauge covers, so I don't think this will be suitable for any but a few car models for the purpose I'm using it for.
If Panavise could come up with the same assembly and a U - shaped holder for mounting a camera with a standard tripod screw thread from the bottom, BELOW the mount - now that would be far more useful.
Exelent Quality June 9, 2008
Got this mount for a great price.
Very powerfull suction cup on this thing. Even holds to the tank of my motorcycle !Holds up my Canon S5 Is with no movement at all.
Totally recommend this product to anyone !
Sticks like glue!!! May 27, 2008
Purpose brought: Used to make mounted vehicular videocam.
Pros: When set properly, this device sticks like glue!
Cons: Small swing arm limits mounting positions.
The suction seal is very strong and after two weeks I still can't physically remove it unless I use the pressure release lever.
The small arm limits the placement and use of a camera (ie: camera is inverted when mounting on a windshield), but it is perfect for holding small camcorders and digital cameras on a smooth, non-porous upright surface.
If you already have a small handheld videocam and wish to use it as a vehicle cam, Use this and a 90mm mounting pad mounted on top of the dashboard as a cheap alternative to buying a dedicated vehicle camera.
Great product but only 4 stars due to the small swing arm.
Highly recommended May 20, 2008
I am truly glad I found this little mount.
I have used it basically to attach a Canon SD750 (cigarette pack size camera) to the windshield, so that I can film my driving (the SD750 has a time lapse feature that I find very cool to record roads). I have used this on hot temperatures(above 37 C) and on non-paved roads and it has kept the camera on place. It's very simple to use, very sturdy and versatile -so you can use it in many different angles and situations-. I even used it on a boat window and it worked fantastically.
I strongly recommend this mount to anyone interested in experimental filming. I have not tried a heavier camera so I can't comment on its weight capacity, but it is more than enough for my SD750.
Enjoy!
