Digital camera reviews of Delkin Devices DDMOUNT-MINI Fat Gecko Double Knuckle Single Suction Cup Camera Mount

Digital camera Review: Awesome In-Car Camera Mount
Summary: 5 Stars

The Delkin Fat Gecko is a great product and was just what I was looking for. I use it to mount my camcorder on my windshield. It is EXTREMELY sturdy and has a huge amount of suction. The only part of the Fat Gecko that moves is where the suction cup meets the actual unit itself, but it is very, very minor movement. It's more of a flexing motion as opposed to a loose part. Overall, it provides very sturdy video.

PROS
+Very well built, quality materials, very thick and strong plastic.
+Holds camera still (it does its job).
+Adjustment bolts are heavy duty, allowing for maximum tightening without worrying about cracking the plastic.
+Holds a ton of weight, up to 4 pounds.
+Price is reasonable.
+Comes with a sturdy extension arm (about 3" more) and even a hex wrench for attaching it.

CONS
-A small amount of flex (and I mean SMALL) where the suction cup meets the actual unit. Only noticeable in the worst conditions: traveling fast on very rough roads, with a heavy camera and the extension arm installed. Completely expected; it still exceeds my expectations.
-There is no easy way to quickly detach the camera, it is screwed on tight (i.e. there is no "quick release" as you'd find on a tripod).

UPDATE: FLEXING FIX
-The flexing of the unit is only noticeable with the extension installed. BUT, my camera will not fit without the extension... or so I thought. It turns out, if you mount the camera upside down on your windshield so the windshield angles AWAY from the camera instead of towards the camera, you can mount it without the extension, and therefore it is significantly sturdier. When editing the video (in iMovie '09), it is extremely easy to rotate the video 180deg into the upright position. And there you have it.
