Works great with my Flip cam on my motorcycle
While the Panavise 809 mount is advertised as a window mount, it also works great in securing my Flip cam to the gas tank of my motorcycle. The suction cup creates a rigid coupling that hasn't come loose yet, at least in the hour or so at a time I've had it attached to the tank. The arm articulates nicely so that the cam can be set to level (or at whatever angle you'd like it to be), and extends enough so that the cam sits nicely behind the fairing and out of the wind. The rigidity of this mount is a big improvement over another mount I tried in that the Flip doesn't flop around (pun not intended ;). This is important as the Flip does not stabilize the captured video and tendency for the cam to move while operating seems exaggerated in the resulting video. The Flip is small and light, and I haven't tried this mount with my larger cam. The mount has a 3 lb. weight limit.

Works great
Exactly as shown. Holds my HF100 HD camcorder upside down very easily. Great product.

Excellent, but not for off-label use
This clearly is designed to be a CCTV mount. As such, with most CCTV cameras having top mounted attachment, I have no doubt that it works flawlessly.It is very well constructed and does indeed have amazing suction power and solid construction without any "wriggles".
I bought it hoping that I could use it on the fairly steeply raked windshield of a late model Civic to film driving routes with my digital camera. Even though I have a low profile "ultracompact" digital camera, there was not enough room between the windshield and the mount to allow me to mount the camera - unless I mounted it upside down, which I obviously could not do because of the inability to rotate the resulting movie.
FORTUNATELY I discovered that the Civic has a flat non-porous ( i.e. plastic ) top gauge cover, and was able to mount it on that. But the vast majority of cars have curved top gauge covers, so I don't think this will be suitable for any but a few car models for the purpose I'm using it for.
If Panavise could come up with the same assembly and a U - shaped holder for mounting a camera with a standard tripod screw thread from the bottom, BELOW the mount - now that would be far more useful.

Sticks like glue!!!
Purpose brought: Used to make mounted vehicular videocam.
Pros: When set properly, this device sticks like glue!
Cons: Small swing arm limits mounting positions.
The suction seal is very strong and after two weeks I still can't physically remove it unless I use the pressure release lever.
The small arm limits the placement and use of a camera (ie: camera is inverted when mounting on a windshield), but it is perfect for holding small camcorders and digital cameras on a smooth, non-porous upright surface.
If you already have a small handheld videocam and wish to use it as a vehicle cam, Use this and a 90mm mounting pad mounted on top of the dashboard as a cheap alternative to buying a dedicated vehicle camera.
Great product but only 4 stars due to the small swing arm.
