VideoSecu One Height Adjustable 2"-6" Camera Wall Ceiling Mount Bracket for CCTV CCD Box Body Camera Pan Tilt Bracket 1BO

Short Answer:I purchased one of these to see if I could use it to mount a laser pen in a project box.This turned out to be a very lucky purchase. Looking at other "360 degree omnidirectional universal mounting brackets", I thought I was going to have to spend a lot of money to mount a few of these lasers. It turns out, this little $8.00 bracket is precisely what I need. With a little ingenuity, I imagine it could be used to mount all sorts of project items. So I ordered more of them to mount the rest of the lasers.Detailed Answer:IncludesRound Base (free standing or wall mountable) - 2 3/8 inch diameter, sturdy metal, magnetic*, 3 screw holes."X-Clip" (easy mounting on drop-ceiling) - About 2 inch span, light-gauge metal, magnetic*.Omnidirectional Head - (screws into either of the two mounts listed above) - pose-able in almost any direction, easy thumb-twist setscrew, solid construction, feels like it could support up to a couple pounds quite easily.1" shaft (inline extension) - very solid, heavy metal, highly magnetic*, screws right in line between head and either base to add length to the mounting aperture2" shaft (inline extension) x 2 - just like the 1" shaft above, comes with two of them*magnetic* - does not have its own magnetic field, but magnets will stick to it quite strongly.Using either rubber bands or electrical tape, I was able to secure the laser pen to the mounting head quite easily, quickly, and solidly. Using strong magnets, I was able to secure the mount inside the project box without using screws - the magnets I used (neodymium, from inside an old hard drive) were able hold the mount in place, right through the side of the box. When the project was finished, I secured the mount in place with short machine screws.I can mount a thousand things with this bracket! Excellent $8 mounting solution for your scientific project.

easy to install, works great for my fixed position cameras.

Great mount. Was very disappointing when it showed up because I didn't think the balljoint would tighten at all. Turns out the actual screw twist popping out on the side is only for letting the mount end slide left and right parallel to a wall. There is a little female nut on the opposite side that needs a hexagon shaped screwdriver tool to actually tighten the ball joint into place.The whole mount and the Oculus Sensor are soo light that I mounted it with 3 thumbtacks in each hole and its holding super sturdy! The ball joint is holding very sturdy as well after using an allen wrench to tighten it.

I am using this as a ceiling mount for my Video Camera.I think I understand the problem with the adjustment that people are having. There are two set screws, as has been mentioned by previous reviewers. The thumbscrew - the larger set screw - is the one that should be tightened first. Neither set screw is designed to touch the sphere. The thumbscrew, when tightened, secures the sphere to the mount by pressing against a cone shaped base on the mount below the sphere.To make the angle adjustment secure, the thumbscrew should be tightened first. So first make sure that the smaller allen wrench set screw (2.5mm) is sufficiently backed-off before tightening the thumbscrew. Then tighten the thumbscrew; and finally, use the 2.5mm allen wrench to further reinforce the fit.Enjoy. I think this is a great mount with a lot of options, and a good value.

After trying some lower priced cheap plastic versions, I went with the VideoSecu camera mount and this is now the only mount I'll use for my home cameras. The VideoSecu mount is made of metal, with a strong metal base and matching metal extensions. The extensions and the easy to use rotating ball joint can be configured in many different ways in order to get your camera in the perfect position. Threads are 1/4" throughout, and the mount worked perfectly with my Wyzecam Pan cameras.

I purchased 2x Videosecu Mounting Brackets to install 2x Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi Camera 2MP (1920TVL). These mounts were very easy to put together, attach to the walls & mount the cameras to. They came w/various pieces to accommodate a number of configurations. These mounts have been holding the cameras up out of the way for almost 3 years now. They are very sturdy & will probably outlast the cameras.If your looking for mounts for your Amcrest or similar cameras w/ 1/4” x 20 threads, then have confidence that this mount can do the job.

Well I paid $7 for this at the time of this review. I don't know if the price has changed by the time you read this, but if it has gone up then I would deduct more stars.I have to say that I like the kit and all the pieces that come with it. It does allow for a ton of versatility in mounting. I am using it for a pico-projector upside down. I used the 3 screw round mounting base to install it on the underside of an overhead compartment in an RV. That part was easy. The base is solid enough.The problem I ran into was the swivel mount. The side knob does tighten the ball into the socket and does an ok job. The threads on the screw knob are not machined very precisely and it is a little bit hard to turn and to know when it has become tight enough. Also there is an allen screw near the knob that has to be tightened to stop the rotating of the whole ball-socket assembly on the base. The kit did not come with a small allen wrench and none of my standard sizes fit it. It must be metric. I was able to tighten it some, but not enough to be secure. So overall it is very hard to tighten everything down with any type of precision (which is very important for a projector to get the image straight on the screen).This is a cheap mount and it works well enough for mounting things that don't have to be precision aligned. But for anything else this is not quality enough.
