The mount is very stiff, but it can be adjusted.

Same issue here. Just bought the 3 cam pack with solar panels. The mounts for the solar panels adjust but the camera mount is one piece of plastic and not adjustable. Camera points at a 90 degree angle from the mount. Stupid design. All the mounts should be adjustable. This puppy is going right back to costco.

Never mind. Those suckers are really tight. You have to mount to camera to get leverage to pivot them.
