PellKing Magnet Camera Mount for GoPro 13/Insta360 X6/X5/X4/X3,Heavy-Duty Metal Car Magnetic Camera Mount with 360 Degree Rotation Ball Head for Car,Compatible with GoPro Hero 13 12 11 Black 8/7/6/5

I’m very happy with this magnetic camera holder/mount. I use it to video my off road camping and photography trips. Initially I was very cautious and used it with my GoPro Hero 11. After marking the bumper/mount I slowly drove 15-20 mph on the rough off roads. I checked every quarter mile to check for any slippage off of my front bumper guard. As I got faster I checked it after a mile and then 5 miles. It never budged from my initial spot. I’ve driven now several hundred miles with the mount and it holds firmly. I’m very pleased with the results and would recommend it for smaller cameras. I plan to add my larger camera and see what sort of luck I have.

I got this to record track days and autocross for my ND2 Miata RF. First impressions of the mount are good. The magnets seem very strong and the pads are soft but thin. The thin pads are probably needed to allow the magnets to get close enough to the metal for a good hold. The pads are rubber and grippy. The metal “bridge” between the magnets is perfect for prying the mount off. The ball head mount for the GoPro is a bit cheap. Though it doesn’t need to be a massively strong piece as it only has to hold a few ounces of camera. I suspect it would hold a small point and shoot camera that can do video but mounting a DSLR or even a Mirrorless is out of the question as the ball head mount is just too small for that kind of application. Plus the tightening screws are not in very good locations and you can’t get the main one very tight. The secondary screw you need to use the smaller of the two supplied alan keys. That one you can can, obviously, get nice and secure. The two supplied GoPro mounts are perfect fits but not sure why you would want to use the plastic one when the metal one is so much stronger. The tether is a nice touch and if you can secure one end to something solid, I’m sure it would hold the mount and GoPro if the magnets should lose their grip. I do not want to actually test this. The mount works great. Solid and secure and with the tether it should meet nearly all regulatory requirements for track days and autocross.

Works well I’ve taken this off roading and the magnets are extremely strong. The magnets have a protective coating that won’t scratch paint!

Incredibly strong magnet. Ive been using it offroad in conditions that have destroyed every other mount I have owned. I bought a second one already. You cant go wrong.

Magnet is very strong so be careful when removing from car as it may suction a bulge or scratch the paint.

The magnet is STRONG! Used it on the hood and my drivers side door and it's awesome! I don't worry about it falling off and it's super easy to set up with my gopro without instructions (it didn't come with instructions - but it's very intuitive and easy to slap together). I like this a lot and can't wait to film more stuff with it and find other cool places to stick it.

Much better than expected. HUGE holding power. Just used it to Hyperlapse cross-country. Could barely remove it from the trailer, the magnets are so strong. The ball mount also works well, no complaints, definitely recommend.

“How strong?” was my first question when looking at this product just days ago. I need to record Jeep suspensions (starting with mine) as they travel down the street. PellKing made a good product, 90% perfect. I tested it immediately upon arrival today. As you can see it easily holds up this heavy XJ Cherokee driveshaft, and is still hard to pull away. It’s so secure even with this on it, seriously I know my camera isn’t going anywhere. This dual pad magnet set up is motorcycle or trail ready. With a little GoPro I bet it would handle full on extreme cage rig trails, I’m not kidding. TWO ISSUES: The hinge design offering doesn’t tighten very tight, and one half of it is plastic. Were both sides metal, and the torque design fixed it would be perfect. How to correct the design: The metal half is threaded, but doesn’t need to be. Particularly if the other half was also metal as the nut would sit in an even more secure seat. AS IS, one can drill the threads out and grind the “bevel” they sat inside down a touch to increase thread engagement, and hinge torque. Now when it tightens you can really tighten it so the hinge cannot move. Fear not, they provide a safety cable which was thoughtful. I may have a local CNC recut me the plastic half of the hinge from metal as a long term solution to my needs. We all know Amazon pays people for some of the reviews, I can say that I am not one of them. I’m just a guy with multiple Jeeps in the family and a need. I did a weird test no paying advertiser would even approve of lol.
