The kit starts out with our ball-leveling head that comes with a 3/8" and 1/4" camera mounting plate, capable of supporting over 50 pounds.
With our mounting system, your custom camera mount
installations are limited only by your
imagination. Each 6" cup, when mounted on a horizontal surface, can hold seventy vertical
pounds. When combining
them in triangular arrangements, the load factor is staggering 210 pounds. For safety's sake when mounting the
suction cups on a vertical surface we under rate a
standard 3-cup mount load to 50 pounds total. The camera mount kit is designed for prosumer lightweight video cameras and camcorders and for professional videographers and 16mm cinematographers as well. Owners have found a new freedom since they don't have to hire grips and their heavy-duty equipment just to rig a camera on an automobile. An average mount takes less than ten minutes to set up, saving valuable production time.
The kit consists of:
NEW. Pelican Case included.
Remember: Always utilize a safety strap when using suction cups.
The mount weighs 31 lb: Shipping Weight, including the Pelican Case is 65 pounds total.

Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: When a vacuum exists between the cup and the surface on which it is attached, the weight of Earth's atmosphere holds the cup in place with incredible force. Unlike suction cups that produce a vacuum as they pull away from the surface, Powr-Grip® vacuum cups use a hand-actuated pump to efficiently remove air from between the rubber pad and the attaching surface--thus creating a much more reliable hold. Because the full face of the pad is brought into contact with the surface, distortion is reduced, allowing the cup to be used on materials of almost any thickness with little risk of damage.
The vacuum cup's pump features a plunger with a red line, which serves as a vacuum indicator. Introduced by Wood's Powr-Grip in the 1960's, this safety device is still recognized as one of the most reliable warning systems available. A few strokes of the plunger evacuate the vacuum pad, causing it to seal securely to the attaching surface. When the cup is attached completely, the plunger stops moving and the red line is hidden within the pump. A visible red line indicates that air has leaked back into the pad, making vacuum insufficient to use the cup. However, if the red line becomes visible while the cup is in use, a check valve allows the user to repump the cup without losing the remaining vacuum.Lifting on the release tab near the edge of the pad allows air to refill the evacuated space, so that the vacuum cup detaches completely.
