Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
I recently used this on a twin turbo prop aircraft in Micronesia (www.lostclipper) while it was attached to a GoPro Hero 2. As you can see, it was rock steady in the 180 MPH wind. I trust this implicitly.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
Bought two of the Avenger F1000 pump cups for my automotive photography. Injunction with the Avenger F1000 I also purchased three Manfrotto Super Clamps. Both of these items work wonders to allow me to capture breath taking photos from angles you wouldn't be able to get without them. The construction is pretty durable and the price is amazing. All of my photographer friends use the same setup and I wouldn't choose or trust any other product.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
Easy to use and really reliable if used properly. I am using it with a DSLR for car shots. Camera can't be mounted directly to the pump so make sure to order a Manfrotto platform camera.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
I purchased the Avenger F1000 Pump Cup to use as an anchor for automotive photography. It has worked wonders. combined with the Manfrotto super clamps the uses become endless.
For automotive photography, it was easy to connect the F1000 Pump to a car with out having to damage anything. The Pump action suction is a great way to adhere the F1000 to the car, or any flat surface at that, very easily with out any effort. I had looked at other suction type mounts and this was the one offered the pump where others suggested a push down lock, which on automobiles can be damaging to nice investments of your clients.
Also, after looking at the other uses, the suction action is great for telling you when you are at optimum grip. And with the swivel design you have plenty of flexibility for anything you put on the mount. Even lights. Have the ability to put a light up high with out the use of a stand was great as well.
I will be recommending this product to anyone looking for a great suction mount that is easy to use and priced just right for its abilities.
To the manufacturers, I say bravo and cheers to you, Avenger/Manfrotto.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
I used this product last week for a shoot and I have to say it is amazing, especially considering the price it is just perfect. We used only one suction cup to mount a Canon 5D with a 24-70 L Lens on a car and it worked perfect. Of course you get more safety with two of those but one seemed two work just fine.
I saw that a lot of people said that the release is kind of a pain. I believe the only thing you need to do is pull out the pin that you pump with, which releases the suction and makes it very simple to remove.
Hope that helps. Have fun with it

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
Very secure and very solid suction cup. Didn't come with instructions to remove it but what you need to do is push down a little 'flap' that's on the cup itself to help break the suction seal.
Great product!

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
Bought these as part of an auto rig, and I LOVE them. They are more than adequate to hold up the boom, clamps, and 5D Mark II I'm using for the rig. They are a bit tricky to release since the suction is so strong, and occasionally there is a ring left by the cup after the release. This can be alleviated easily by thoroughly waxing the vehicle beforehand and buffing out any rings after - small price to pay for such a stable, reliable rig.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
Easy to use, just place the pump on the surface, and make sure there are no gaps between pump and suction cup and then start pumping the suction cup. The swivel pin is easy to use and is very heavy duty. This more convenient if you need to adjust the position of the pump.
The only bad thing is that the pump may leave pressure circles on the surface. I use these pumps for taking automotive photos and after attaching these on the surface of the car, it leaves this ring of debris. But this can be cleaned easily so it is not a big conflict.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
I use two of these Avenger pumps for my automotive rig. This is a very good and sturdy product. I would definitely recommend this item for anyone who is looking to do the same. Purchase the Manfrotto magic arm and three Manfrotto Super Clamps and you got yourself a good boom to work with for shooting those crisp automotive photos with a blurry background.

Comments about Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin:
Bought two for my camera rig set up, this thing get the job done, i'm not nervous when my camera is on the rig, it won't fall thanks to the great suction power.
I'm more than happy with these and my pictures come sharp thanks to the sturdy (and a little heavy) construction.
The only thing i would ask for is a vaccum release button or valve, sometimes it's a little tricky to remove.
