hi guys,
I see quite a lot of people are excited about car suction mounts like myself before I got it.
I think I should give a little advice/warning about them. They are really not easy to set-up, I need my assistant around and it takes quite a while. One man very difficult to operate. More importantly, it can easily cause damage to the car and camera equipment.
Suction are not permanent, they will eventually fall off, problem is not knowing exactly when? Good suctions system that stick on strong, are big and have powerful vacum suctions, but also means that they are too strong to stick on certain parts of a car, especially in the middle of the door panel. Yes, can easily make the car's panels bubble/reverse dents.
However, weak suctions put your video/camera equipment at risk... Especially, true when the car is in motion and as the car shakes, it slowly unplugs the suctions..
I have been "playing" with them for almost a year, and there are really so many factors involved to get it right. Please do not ask me for my list of damaged equipment. :mad2:
