ZT-NET 24lb Magnetic Camera Mounting Base 2-pack
Product description
This magnetic mount secures compact cameras and action cams to metal surfaces for quick repositioning and temporary setups. It delivers a simple way to attach a camera or smartphone adapter to vehicles, poles or metal housings, offering hands-free monitoring and flexible shooting angles.
Key Points
The mount combines a mini ball head with a male 1/4"-20 stud, so most consumer cameras, action cameras and many phone adapters will fit without extra adapters. The rubber-coated neodymium magnet keeps the contact surface protected and increases friction, which helps reduce sliding on smooth metal. It is supplied as a two-pack that includes two magnetic bases, two adhesive pads and two ball-head studs, giving extra units for multiple setups or backup use. ⚙️
A compact footprint means it is easy to carry in a camera bag. The ball head allows quick tilt and rotation for framing, while the magnetic base makes repeated repositioning straightforward on vehicles or metallic fixtures. Consider that strong impact or very rough terrain may require additional mechanical anchoring for long-term stability.

Benefits
The rubber coating protects both the magnet and the surface it attaches to, which reduces the risk of scratches on painted panels or delicate housings. This soft covering also increases grip on slightly irregular metal, helping maintain position without additional padding. The 1/4"-20 stud is the photography industry standard, so the mount works with a wide range of tripods, quick-release plates and accessories. 📷
Because the magnet is corrosion resistant according to the description, the mount can be used outdoors for short-term monitoring or filming sessions, though prolonged exposure to harsh weather should be avoided. The compact ball-head mechanism offers fast adjustments, allowing you to change orientation without tools.
Usage Recommendations
Attach the rubber-coated magnet to a clean, flat metal surface for best adhesion. If using on painted or delicate finishes, test the contact area first. For vehicle mounting, use a sheltered area to limit exposure to wind and debris, and consider pairing the magnet with a safety tether when placing valuable kit on moving platforms. For repeated indoor repositioning, keep the adhesive pads on hand to help stabilise placement on non-metal surfaces or to provide a non-slip buffer between the mount and sensitive panels.
