Arlo Pro Outdoor Camera Mount slipping

mooncan13 — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 18:25:57 GMT

I have just purchased and installed an Arlo Pro Wire-Free Camera, installing using the small outdoor mount provided in the box (seems like a ball/socket setup). The mount keeps slipping so that I have a beautiful view of the ground instead of the yard. I can reposition it, but it falls again after a few hours. Any suggestions?

You could contact Arlo support...

Fyi, any camera mount will work as the threaded hole is standard 1/4-20.

At least on my mounts, I had to _really_ tighten the suckers down to keep them in place. The metal ball that compresses with the screw is not a great design (stating the obvious).
