Do Not Buy These!!
These seemed like a good deal at first. Now they are in the trash.
First off they are cheap knock offs. The camera kit I bought came with 1 of the secure outdoor mounts like these and 3 magnet mounts. I wanted a more secure mount so I added these two here.
Right out of the package I knew I made a mistake. They are slightly smaller than the factory mount and they are made from a much cheaper pop metal. I installed them anyways. I had difficulty positioning the camera because the ball joint was not offering resistance to hold the camera in place. After fiddleing and fine tuning for a bit I made it work but barley.
A few months went by and it’s time for a battery change. The threads on the mount rusted so badly that it seized the mount onto the camera. Thankfully it did not damage the camera thread after I wrenched it off with some pliers.
Spend the extra 5-10 bucks. Buy the fficial Arlo recommended mounts. These are garbage.
You have been warned ;)
