Are Arlo Mounts Compatible With Other Camera Brands?

If one were to get another camera brand besides Arlo, are there cameras that are compatible with those mounts? I guess specifically I would be wondering if there any cameras compatible with the Arlo/Arlo Pro mounts, but I am curious if any Arlo mount is compatible with a different camera brand?

The screw mounts use standard threads, so should be compatible with a wide variety of cameras.

The magnetic mounts are specific to Arlo, so likely would not work with another brand. In the case of the Pro/Pro2 cameras, the magnet is inside the back of the camera. The mount just has some metal in it to attract the camera. The camera will stick to other metal surfaces (such as steel gutters).

Note the newer Ultra/Pro3/Pro4/Pro5 magnetic mounts reversed this concept - putting the magnet in the mount, and the metal in the back of the camera.
