Camera mounts...

[Dan_mk1]

I know this has been mentioned a few times, where's the best place to buy an external camera mount? And whats with the law on them? Would old bill have anything to say if they caught you using one on the road!?

Pump cup with double ball tilt top head
As the name suggests, this is essentially the same mount as our 'Pump cup with swivel and double ball tilt top head' only without the swivel joint.
150mm, strong vacuum mount with joints to allow easy camera positioning in most angles, inside and out.
The mount is held in place on a smooth, clean angle (ideally flat or very shallow angle) by a vacuum. This is created by you pumping a button on the base quickly until you see the red line on the button disappear. At this point the cup is rated as supporting upto 2kg in weight. When the redline re-appears you need to start pumping again

Price: £ 62.00
