None of the new camera use the original magnetic mounts. If nothing else, the magnet has been moved out of the camera and into the mount so they're not possible to use.

 

There's a threaded hole in each camera that can be used with a standard (1/4"-20 thread) camera mount available from many places. 

 

Either way, the existing mounts will have to be replaced with a compatible mount for the new cameras.

stribor45,

 

You can take a look at the accessories designed specifically for Essential 2nd generation cameras here: https://www.arlo.com/en-us/accessories-essential-v2

 

The mount threading is standard 1/4-20 so any mount that supports that thread will work. Take a look at these here: https://www.arlo.com/en-us/accessories/VMA4000B-10000S.html

What do you mean? Currently I am using the mount that looks like a dome. I want to replace my existing pro 2 camera but hoping to use this same mount.
