Panavise 809 CCTV Camera Window Mount

Got this mount for a great price.

Very powerfull suction cup on this thing. Even holds to the tank of my motorcycle !Holds up my Canon S5 Is with no movement at all.

Totally recommend this product to anyone !

Purpose brought: Used to make mounted vehicular videocam.

Pros: When set properly, this device sticks like glue!

Cons: Small swing arm limits mounting positions.

The suction seal is very strong and after two weeks I still can't physically remove it unless I use the pressure release lever.

The small arm limits the placement and use of a camera (ie: camera is inverted when mounting on a windshield), but it is perfect for holding small camcorders and digital cameras on a smooth, non-porous upright surface.

If you already have a small handheld videocam and wish to use it as a vehicle cam, Use this and a 90mm mounting pad mounted on top of the dashboard as a cheap alternative to buying a dedicated vehicle camera.

Great product but only 4 stars due to the small swing arm.

I am truly glad I found this little mount.
I have used it basically to attach a Canon SD750 (cigarette pack size camera) to the windshield, so that I can film my driving (the SD750 has a time lapse feature that I find very cool to record roads). I have used this on hot temperatures(above 37 C) and on non-paved roads and it has kept the camera on place. It's very simple to use, very sturdy and versatile -so you can use it in many different angles and situations-. I even used it on a boat window and it worked fantastically.
I strongly recommend this mount to anyone interested in experimental filming. I have not tried a heavier camera so I can't comment on its weight capacity, but it is more than enough for my SD750.
Enjoy!

well made but the smaller camcorders dont have enough height to "see/view" over the suction mount..

This camera mount holds great on a windshield. I attached mine several weeks ago, and it has been there since, like it was glued on. This mount allow the camera to be swiveled easily to various positions or angles. It's well designed, and as you might guess, I'm happy with mine.
