Industrial-strength Suction Cup for SJ4000?

[VIIVIIIXIII]

Hello,

Wondering if there is reputable copy of the GoPro suction cup mount that can perform just as well. The geniune mount costs $40USD which is extremely expensive. Thanks

Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. While you can find some well made suction mounts on the market at a moderate price, with the GoPro you are paying for the engineering, testing and quality of materials.

The Hitcase SuckR is designed for the iPhone but is GoPro compatible and has received good reviews. While it retails for more than the GoPro it can be found at a nice discount.

I second @Dashmellow, you get what you pay for with these things. There are a few alternatives, they're not much cheaper. http://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/suction-cup-mounts-gopro-hero

If you plan to use it a lot, then it will pay for itself quickly. If it's for temporary outside car use maybe consider a cheaper alternative like the Joby GPod https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threa...elapses-a-gpod-mini-magnetic.7121/#post-85432

Joby is a great brand and high quality product. I can recommend it. They even recently came out with their suction cup series.

The GoPro suction mount can be had for $40, so I'm only interested in an alternative if it is half the price or cheaper -- otherwise, I might as well just pony up for the GoPro suction mount. That being said, I do own the GoPro mount, looking to a buy maybe 3 or 4 more SJ4000s, but I don't think I want to spend $160 on mounting hardware alone.

What do you guys think about this one? it's been talked about on the GoPro forums

China replica ($5-15, depending where you look)

If it's suction type, I prefer if it has the lock mechanism, just to be safe.
That though have three cups, but won't guaranteed it will be solid.

What about these one, looks very similar to the Delkin Fat Gekco.

Just tried using that mount and failed. My SJ4000 dropped easily. Luckily it's not broken. SMH
Take a look of the vid.

Where can i buy this suction cup only?

I'm being sent this suction cup (click link here) for free w/ review of a new action cam (called the Dazzne DZ-P2)

I'll see how it compares to the GoPro suction cup, which I also own and use with my SJ4000W.
