NEEWER 6" Suction Cup Camera Mount with Ball Head 📷
Description:
This metal suction cup mount from NEEWER combines a 6-inch vacuum suction base with a magic arm and dual ball heads to hold cameras, action cams, or phones for windshield, dash, or other smooth-surface mounts. It aims to give flexible POV and in-car shooting options while supporting heavier gear in static setups according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
The system uses a pump-activated suction cup that adheres to smooth, nonporous surfaces such as glass, ceramic tile, and metal. The articulated magic arm includes two 1/4" ball heads for quick angle adjustments and 360-degree rotation, which helps position mirrorless cameras, vlogging rigs, or smartphones for varied framing. The mount is designed for on-the-road POV filming and for static studio or location work where a strong anchor point is needed. Consider that the suction performs best on clean surfaces and is not recommended for rough wood or porous textures.
Technical Specifications
- Name: NEEWER 6"/15.2cm Camera Suction Cup Mount with Ball Head Magic Arm
- Suction cup diameter: 6 in (15.2 cm)
- Dynamic load capacity: up to 11 lb (5 kg) in driving conditions, speeds under 80 km/h according to the manufacturer
- Static load capacity: up to 132 lb (60 kg) horizontal, 110 lb (50 kg) vertical as stated by the manufacturer
- Mounting threads: 1/4" and 3/8" internal threads with ARRI-style locating holes
Usage Recommendations
Attach the suction cup to a thoroughly cleaned, dry surface for best hold. If residue is present on glass or plastic, wipe with alcohol before mounting and press the pump mechanism to create vacuum. Use the dual ball heads to fine-tune tilt and pan, then lock positions firmly to reduce micro-motion. For in-car filming choose smooth windshields or metal dashboards; avoid textured or curved surfaces that may reduce suction performance. The aluminum alloy construction resists corrosion but consider extra safety tethers when mounting valuable equipment in moving vehicles.
Positive Aspects
The mount’s enlarged 6-inch cup and pump activation provide a larger contact area than small suction mounts, which can translate to greater stability for heavier cameras during static shoots. The inclusion of both 1/4" and 3/8" threaded options with ARRI locating holes increases compatibility with a wide range of accessories. The silicone rubber cup is washable and easier to maintain than older materials, and the metal body gives a more rigid feel than typical plastic alternatives. Some users may find the dynamic weight limit restrictive for large cinema cameras, so check the payload relative to your rig before relying on it for high-speed driving.
