Table/Ceiling Mount Compatible with Arlo & Arlo Pro Wire-Free Cameras — by Dropcessories (White)

This a great after-market product by Wasserstein for the Arlo cameras. I have installed (2) of them for indoor Arlo Pro 2 Cams and they are just what the doctor ordered. Arlo doesn't provide this solution in their packaged multi-cam kits, but instead gives you a half-moon adjustable mount. That may seem Ok on the surface, but if you are going to power the cam continuously, you run out of adjustable downward movement due to the USB plug getting in the way and having less than 180 degrees of adjustment.This product solves the camera adjustment needs for both wall and ceiling mounting. Arlo sells their own version of this product, but at $21 for just one mount! I won't get into the ridiculous pricing they use, but will say this Wasserstein Mount is every bit as good and only costs $10 each.The only downside that I found (and this is small) is that they provide you some rather small screws for mounting with this product. I decided to kick that up a couple of sizes and length for a stronger hold. I drilled-out the existing holes in this mount and was able to use larger screws without affecting the mount's ability at all. Highly recommend!

I am using this mount on an Arlo Pro with a silicon skin. I like the idea of having a magnetic mount, as it makes it easy to take the camera on and off (e.g. for charging). My problem with the mount is that the mount is not able to hold the camera in place and that it slowly sags and doesn't stay pointed on target. Holding the camera at the desired angle is the whole point of a camera mount...I am sure this could be fixed with a small design modification, by making the surface of the metal ball slightly rougher. Then this could be a 5-star product.

This mount will NOT support an Arlo Pro camera. When mounted to the ceiling, the camera will attach but not stay in position and will slide down to the bottom pointing straight down. Worse that that, the mount itself will separate leaving the metal plate attached to the ceiling while the rest of the mount (and the expensive camera) falls to the ground. I was fortunate that my camera was not damaged by the fall but I think that's more of a tribute to the camera's construction than anything else.Looking back at this listing I see that unlike the multitude of similar mounts available on Amazon, this one doesn't specifically mention supporting the Pro camera. One reply to a question says it doesn't while a couple of reviews say it does. Believe me, it doesn't. And I'm sure those who tried must have been using it as a table mount rather than hanging because having it fall apart like it did is simply unacceptable. I guess that's why it's so much cheaper than the OEM Netgear version of the same mount - you get what you pay for.The vendor's customer service people were reasonably prompt, offering to send a replacement but there is no way I would take another chance of damaging my camera with another of the same mount. I will probably spend the extra to get an original Netgear mount.

Overall, this worked for my Arlo Pro system but not perfect. I was not able to use a silicone cover with this, the weight was just too much so the camera would drop down when placing it at a close right angle. Without the skin though, it worked great. I am tempted to leave 5 stars, but I think the company should put a bit more course material on the ball to create more friction. This would have solved that problem. Overall, I would recommend assuming you're not using any kind of silicone skin for your Arlo Pro.

Posting this as a warning to others who may be considering any kind of temporary test mounting before drilling holes.Granted I was using this mount without the screws, but I would not expect it to just fall apart as easy as it did.To "test place" the camera, I attached it to a wall using 3M Command Strips. The stupid mount is constructed in such a way that it has *very* weak double-sided tape holding the back of the mount together (see attached image). Although the metal plate was well attached to the wall with the Command Strips, it eventually detached from the rest of the mount -- which came crashing down onto concrete with my camera. The only thing left on the wall was the metal plate -- everything else took a dive. This "detaching" only took a couple of hours.Very disappointed.I understand mounting it with the screws would likely have secured it properly, but the design makes no accommodations for any other kind of alternative mountings -- and there are no warnings or indicators that it will fail in such cases.Luckily my camera seemed to mostly survive (housing does have a crack on it now).

Where to start? First, the Mount is so lightweight that it will simply not sit flat on a table with the camera installed without tipping over. Of course, I suppose I could screw the mount to the top of my table but, of course, that would ruin my nice table. Second, to attach the mount to the ceiling you need to remove the thin metal baseplate and screw it to the ceiling and then 'stick' the mount back onto the thin baseplate. Unfortunately the mount itself is attached to the thin metal baseplate solely with a thin layer of two-sided tape. I imagine the mount and baseplate will stick together for at least several minutes with your expensive Arlo Camera attached, before the tape holding the two pieces of the mount together lets go and your shiny new Arlo Pro Camera crashes to the floor, perhaps creating an interesting Arlo video recording in free fall. Bottom line, this Mount has two unbelievable flaws that makes it totally unsuitable for use as either a Table or a Ceiling Mount. Final Grade: "F"PS: Thank God I purchased 2 of them. :-( -mike-
