Hi,

 

When you using the magnet mount (half ball), what is the approx. max side ways angle you can mount the camera into?

I`m not thinking about angle the lens (camera it self recording) but the house how manghe degree can you tilt the camera sideways maximum.

 

If I`m not clear on what I`m looking for, tell me and I will try better 🙂

 

Thank you all 🙂

I haven't measured it, but if you angle it too much the camera will droop downwards.  I'm thinking ~45 degrees, but that could be off.

 

One way to solve it is to use a screw mount ( https://www.amazon.com/Arlo-Accessory-Outdoor-Compatible-VMA1000/dp/B00TTLGHSK ).  The mount screws are standard, so any camera mount should work.

I understand 45 can be okay, Think I will test first and see if I need another bracket.

Thank you 🙂
