Looking for an outdoor generic camera mount for my Arlo but have no idea what size to get? The generic one seems to have a bolt that's 5mm in diameter, is that right? Anything I can search to help me or a size that brings up a lot of results (in the UK btw so any cheap links on eBay and Amazon would help?)

And what other methods do people have of connecting cameras? I was reading something about magents? Is there any other way?

The standard thread mount in the US is    1/4-20 (1/4" diameter, 20 threads per inch) 

You can also purchase that size bolt with a nut to make your own mount in any shape if needed

 

A 1/4-20 will fit the threaded hole in the camera

 

 

 

1/4" is 6.5mm I believe

Thanks for that, any UK users here that bought one and could link me to to it?

yes... nice thing is the Arlo is small enough to carry around and test in mounts ( if you have any stores that carry camera equipment in the area )
