- Locking suction attaches securely to any smooth, flat, non-porous surface
- Rugged construction holds up in extremes
- Quickly move cameras from surface to surface

Now, for sure this isn't the fanciest suction cup mount you can get, or the strongest, but...you have to think about this in terms of price - 1st up it will carry a 5dmkII (I haven't tried it with a heavy tele lense - but why would you want to mount that on a suction cup?).Also - it's small - which means you can stick it to your windscreen, and it's relatively discreet for shooting internals - your passenger won't constantly be eyeballing it.a couple of cons are: it's a [*] ache to mount the camera - and get it off. Setting up a shot can take a while as you have to keep running outside the car (unless you have an external monitor), and... ok then, it would be nice if it supported *just* a little more weight, but:In terms of bang for your buck it's going to be hard to find anything that does what it says, with the build quality - which is a BIG plus - that can beat it, in the whole shop.

Starting to dissapoint
Started as a very strong piece, now it is starting to fail. It won't hold vacuum now for longer than 10-15 minutes. The only weight it has supported is a 5oz ContourHD. ...Read complete review
Started as a very strong piece, now it is starting to fail. It won't hold vacuum now for longer than 10-15 minutes. The only weight it has supported is a 5oz ContourHD. I will not be buying another one. I'll be looking into other manufacturers. I only give it two stars because for a few months it WAS a solid piece.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
- Used it twice so far with Canon Elph 110S point&shoot camera by clipping to front car window (interior)
- Learned that you got to use supplied extension to be able to rotate camera in 360.
- Feel like the suction cup is very strong (even though I probably wouldn't try my DSLR on it and will get 2-cup mount instead). It is so strong, that it is actually a little difficult to unmount and if you will be inaccurate you can scratch your dashboard - so plan ahead for time to take it out.
- Overall, very exciting mount and gives you new perspectives to play with. (Tip: when you filming yourself - I used my wife's mirror to frame the shot, otherwise you can't be exact with a framing)

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
Ostensibly a good idea, this mount looked great and felt sturdy out of the box. After the first use on a surfboard in very small waves the mount looked like some of the metal parts were losing their coating. (I rinsed the mount and soaked it in fresh water for 15 minutes after it had been in the ocean) On the second trip out it was holding up for about an hour and a half in waist to chest high surf and the mount came off as I was paddling into the beach in waist high water when a waist high wave crashed over the board. Both the camera and mount were lost, despite searching for half an hour, so I'm down over $350 because the mount didn't work as advertised - the picture on the package has the mount on a surfboard, but this mount is clearly not designed to survive even mild or moderate surf. Huge disappointment, I was looking forward to uploading some good footage but I'll never get the chance because the Pacific has my camera now. Don't buy unless you don't mind losing whatever you mount on this.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
Bought it to shoot video with my GH2 inside of a car and it works great.
Anywhere there is a hard flat surface you can now mount you camera.
Bathroom mirror or tiles, In the kitchen high on a cupboard door for unusual angles, car windows, hood, trunk door etc.
Not a good choice for long or heavy lenses
Not much use out in the woods but you'd be amazed how many suitable surfaces you will find around the house or around town.
TIP: cary a damp cloth or paper towel in a plastic bag to clean off the unit and/or the surface you want to use.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
This product is fantastic I use it on my canon dslr (t2i) and would work great with any of the canon products. The shots are extremely steady even when on a rough road and can be attached in pretty much any angle. The thing that really sold this product was when I attatched it upside down to my computer and shook it at didn't come off. With the camera! Overall great product especially for the price

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
I've used this on my motorcycle, mounted on the gas tank, and it worked flawlessly.
I've also mounted it on the outside of my car on my driver-side door.
80km/hr and it was solid.
It hasn't passed the test of time yet, but so far this was well worth the money.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
I took this mount on my Amtrack trip from Chicago to San Francisco, did a complete time laps of the trip with my canon 40D. The train was shaking and swinging all the time but the mount held my camera steady all the way.
It's easy to mount, adjust the angel of the camera.
The extension tube -though a bit complicated to install- is firm and reliable, and I was glad to see that it doesn't make any difference in stability.
What needs improvement is the screw part, it is a bit clumsy and hard to really securely tighten.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
I bought this product to mount a camera on a rowing shell and so far it has worked amazingly.
The mount seems to absorb any vibrations or bumps caused by rough water, creating a smooth video while at the same time leaving you with the peace of mind knowing that your camera will not fall off the mounting surface no matter how much water splashes around it.
Overall, this is a great product, definitely worth every dollar and a great alternative to buying a gopro system for anyone that already has any type of waterproof video camera.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
I bought this thing thinking that it would be great for mounting a small video camera inside a car. As you might expect (given its one point of contact) this is not the most steady support for shots while driving. I suppose, if you are using one of those little flip video cams or a small, prosummer camcorder it would be perfectly sufficient for moving shots. I use a Canon T2i or 60D. It does hold the weight of a DSLR plus a reasonably weighted lens, but I don't know if I would use it for anything but static shots. It comes with a neat little hot shoe style attachement that you could use for mounting an "on camera" light. Of course, keep in mind that the surface you want to mount it to is key. The suction cup holds best on glass and other equally smooth surfaces. It will stick to a painted wall but it cannot hold nearly as much weight that way. All in all, I think that this is a every well designed gadget.

Comments about Delkin Devices DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount:
When I got the product in I had high hopes. The materials are good and the suction seemed to be pretty powerful. Went snowboarding yesterday and thought I would give it a try. I was skeptical so I didn't mount my camera. I suctioned it to a cleaned board inside at room temp. Then I tethered it to the back binding with a strap. Took two runs. When I got to the bottom it was gone. I admit that I was going through fairly deep poweder, but given that I would never trust this thing on what I intended it for which was mounting to a surfboard. I think any wave size worth filming would rip this thing right off in a wipeout. Also I think the weight would be more annoying on a surfboard. Maybe B&H should send me a free one so I can actually try it out on a surfboard?
