Clamps and Mounts

We are going to start this description off with a warning. This magnet has blood blister inducing strength with over 110 pounds of force. Keep your fingers out of the way when you attach it to solid steel. Once attached the magnet won’t move. We recommend painters tape to protect finished surfaces, otherwise you do risk scratching during removal.

Cars, implements, beams, ductwork, this will stick to to any magnetic surface. With thinner metal there is less holding power, but it can still be a great solution. We use ours on steel siding with painters tape. It’s a great option for suspended ceilings and we often mount our cameras upside down.

Created by our good friend Michael Lohr, the magnet sleeve is 3D printed and this is a very functional solution for many steel mounting applications.

Base diameter: 2”
Height: 2.5”

The ball head is secured with Loctite which can be removed with a little force.

Over the years, we have built extensive clamp collection and tried everything. This is one of the best! The main bracket is solid aluminum. There are four ¼”x20 mounting points which allow a wide range of camera angles. The removable ball head can be positioned on the end of the screw, the angled portion of the frame and both flat sections. As far as clamps go this one is very sturdy and versatile.

A very unique feature is the dial screw on the frame of the clamp. This allows you to mount a camera at any horizontal angle, if you decide you don’t want to use the ball head, which would give you more rigid support in various situations.

The clamp attaches to round or flat objects up to 2 ⅜” diamater. 

We don't offer an endless collection of mounts and accessories. We have proven solutions which see daily use at our project sites. If you have a wood pole, post, 2x4, 4x4, deck railing, tree or roof trusses, this is a great choice. If you don't think you need it now, like a corkscrew, it will be nice to have when the day comes with a perfectly positioned utility pole. If given an option, this is the go to choice in our mount collection. A few twists and this becomes a very solid mount.

Trees can be a good convenient camera mounting location and sometimes the well-being of a tree is a concern. Concrete or fiberglass utility poles, street / parking lot lights might be a perfect vantage point. Our ratchet strap mount is a great solution to attach a camera when other clamps and mounts won't get the job done. 

Quick Tip: Trees and poles sway in the wind, even minor movement can affect the outcome of your video. We suggest mounting cameras conveniently out of reach, 8 to 12 feet and accessible with a short ladder, standing in a truck bed or levitation. If you are temped to go higher than 12 feet, consider the viewpoint doesn't change much between 12 and 18 feet. To get a different perspective or to shoot over a wall, your camera may become inconveniently high. 

Quick Tip 2: Notice the photo of the camera mounted upside down. This is intentional,. Hanging like a bat with a lower center of gravity, reduces stress, especially in windy areas. An added benefit, the camera's green flashing LED is visible without climbing above the camera. Within the app, you can rotate the view, so the app preview and captured video are oriented the correct way. 

Call it what you want, this is a perfect little storage cube for your Afidus camera. Whether in a camera bag, tool bucket or bouncing along in your vehicle, the cube offers protection, without unnecessary bulk.
