Description

For some sports, you need both arms and legs to perform them properly. Holding a camera at the same time isn't really possible. Thanks to the Fat Gecko Mini Camera Tripod, you can use any camera to shoot intense sports images of your surfing, skiing, or snowboarding adventures. This way, you can save exciting stunts in your photo album or print them out. Screw your camera or camcorder onto the tripod screw and press the suction cup onto a smooth surface. Thanks to the tiltable head, you can also control the shooting angle. This way, you can view every adventure from any perspective.

Quasi-perfect mini suction cup holder

well thought out and designed product
solidly built
generously sized and powerful suction cup system
using the extension arm, the camera wobbles slightly

Some time ago my mini suction cup holder broke, so it had to get a replacement. The only intention is to hang a pocket camera on the rear window of my car to be able to film what happens behind me while driving on a track.

A bit of luck I ordered this Fat Gecko Mini, and it was delivered very quickly. When unpacking you immediately feel and see that this is of a completely different order than the small cheap suction cup holders that you can buy for 10 to 15 EUR... 'It is a class larger, the suction cup system is clearly sturdier and larger, and the thing is clearly more solid.

On a rear window you can usually only hang a pocket camera upside down on such a suction cup, but with this Fat Gecko Mini this is now also possible upright using the supplied extension. Handy that you no longer have to 180 your video when editing the images? to run (time gain and no more loss of quality).

On the other hand, and that is the reason why I would give the device a 4.5 out of 5 (but half points are not possible, so it becomes a 4 out of 5 because it is not quite perfect in my opinion): with the extension mounted (that is from plastic), the arm extends just long enough for the camera on the mounted mount to wobble slightly with the car's movements. The less distance between the mounting surface and the final camera, the less chance you have. It's never disturbing, and the movements are limited, but if you really want a 100% stable image, then I'm afraid you shouldn't use the extension (haven't tried it myself).

This model with a suction cup is good for attaching pocket cameras, and that's where it stops. The suction cup is more than sufficiently sized. When drifting or hitting steep curbs hard, it always hangs, and that's how it should be. To attach a (heavier) video camera, I would rather go for another model. and also avoid the Fat Gecko version with two suction cups.

tried out

nice mounting option also on motorcycles
actually none.. is perfectly mounted on the engine

Tried the tripod in practice. I may say .. with the extension ... great. It does vibrate slightly, but I don't think that's a problem for the motorcyclists. I am very satisfied.

Super tripod. Much better than I initially expected.

In the photo the tripod seems on the small side, but when I opened the packaging I was 'shocked' by the reliability.

For a moment I was afraid it wouldn't stick to my helmet. This is because I have a matte black helmet and it has a separate layer of lacquer on it. But I'm glad he sticks to this too.

In terms of filming, it also goes well, with the extension it can vibrate slightly.
