1/4x20 standard tripod 'stick on' mounts


These mounts are handy for both action and dash cams that use a standard 1/4x20 tripod mount! I use one in my tractor trailer. It's attached near the windhsield to the overhead console area, and holds my Mobius.

Why do I prefer Dash or Action cams that use a standard tripod mount?

The primary reason, is, there are many inexpensive mounts available using the standard, 1/4x20, tripod mount!
I do not like the cameras without them.  One dashcam I had, used a cheap plastic, 'non-standard' mount, almost the same as you get with some XM/Sirius radios.
(the slotted, keyed type mount you slide the unit onto)

It broke!

With a standard tripod mount, you can easily find a cheap replacement, or alternative mount.
Amazon.com has many.

You also have a better chance at finding a mount that will serve your purpose, and has a better range of adjustment.

As a trucker, we often have to move our gadgets from one vehicle to another, or remove them for safekeeping.   Some of the cheap plastic stuff does not hold up well, and when you add vibration to the mix, it gets worse.

Electronic stuff gets a torture test in big trucks.   We tend to use them daily, and most truckers average 120,000 miles or more a year.   Things that hold up OK in a car, may not last long in a truck.
