Arlo Ultra Magnetic mounts not suited for outside use

[Onegr8dane]

I knew from my Arlo Pro 2 cameras that birds are extremely interested in them. I suspect that the black face lets them believe that there is an opening they can enter. (My Pro 2 cameras are on screw mounts.)

Therefore I should not have been surprised, that when mounting my Arlo Ultra cameras outside with the magnetic mount, a bird landing on the camera causes it to fall of the mount. The magnet is simply not strong enough to hold camera and bird at the same time.

well, a stock 1/4-20 camera thread will work.

good info tho

My Arlo Pro 2 cameras are  on swan-neck mounts with 1/4-20 camera thread. I have not been able to find those again, unfortunately.

Unfortunately the only solution is to use the screw mount.
