The Cleat 4.5" Suction-Cup Camera Mount

The Cleat 4.5" Suction-Cup Camera Mount Made by Wood's Power Grip
Wood's Powr-Grip Clete. 4.5" vacuum/ suction cup with black metal mount, 1/4-20 thread stud.An eonomical alternative to other vacuum cup camera mounts.

This is the most economical mount that Wood's offers. Ideal for ultra low budgets and very light cameras.

The factory rates this mount at a ten pound capacity, but we at Filmtools truly recommend that you limit yourself to four pounds when mounted on a vehicle in motion. Anything weighing more can show the adverse effects of induced harmonic vibration and resonate vibration.



Model LJ45PHC. Supplied with pad protector. The CLEAT has many features of a tripod, but is designed for people on the go! Because it attaches and releases in seconds, it can be moved quickly from one place to another on autos, RV's, boats, windows, countertops... virtually any smooth, non-porous surface! The rubber pad won’t mar or damage most surfaces. Knobs on the head provide infinite positioning and control for tilting and panning cameras, scopes and camcorders.
A spring-balanced pump ensures a consistent vacuum level and a red-line indicator warns if there is any drop in holding power. Just a few strokes on the plunger will remove the air from between the mount's vacuum pad and the mounting surface. As long as the mount maintains a reliable hold, the plunger remains partially hidden inside the pump and the red line is not visible. If the red line appears, another stroke or two will restore full holding power. 

Lifting on the release tab near the edge of the pad allows air to refill the evacuated space, so that the vacuum cup detaches completely.
