Comments about Digital Juice Suction Mount Series Giottos Ball Head:
I purchased this device to mount a small Panasonic HD camera to windows and flat-surface walls. The giottos head is great quality and the suction mount seems quite sturdy; I've yet to have any issues with the mount staying in place with a camera that weighs about 8 lbs when fully loaded.

Comments about Digital Juice Suction Mount Series Giottos Ball Head:
Nervous about mounting your DSLR/lens to the car hood? You oughta be. I was sick the first time I drove with my Canon 7D and L series lens sitting out there on the hood, just waiting to pop off and hit the road. But you simply can't get a high quality moving shot of European streets any way else. To my relief the Giotto performed brilliantly. When you first pick it up you can just feel how solid and well designed it is. It articulates quite well, and is rock solid. This is a powerful tool to have in your gear bag.
