How does the suction mount suck on? There is no video. My Ottie mount uses a lever to lock down the suction cup. Do you turn this one? Thanks!

Yes I turn it. This doesn't hold on glass. I'm not happy with this product at all.

Yes, it's a simple quarter turn mechanism. Works quite well because it's easy to keep pressure down on the suction cup while you turn the handle. Mine has held well on glass. Haven't tried it on the dash.

This one has a knob that you twist to obtain maximum suction. The only issue I've had with it is that the black dash of my car absorbs so much heat, that when it gets to 90+ degrees, the dash mount would just fall off.

The suction cup has a lever, once you place the device where you want it, flip the lever down for a secure hold. The lever looks like a handle, but it is actually there to push the air out and assure a tighter hold.

This item comes with a cam-lock style suction cup mount. Open the cam lever, push the cup onto your windshield, and close the cam lever to create a vacuum to hold the suction cup in place. So far it's held fine on my windshield and because the camera is so light, it should stay indefinitely. The camera has a slot in it (seen above the lens in the main item photo) which matches a locking tab on the suction cup mount. The mount has 3 dimensions of swivel and rotation so you can angle the camera how you need to.

It works alright for me. The weight of the saddle holds it down. The suction cups require periodic wetting to hold firm to sides, but even when they come loose it is not a problem from my standpoint. I consider it a good product worth the money I paid for it. Hope that helps you.

I am using the suctions cups that comes with it. I am thinking of buying move of them. Very handy. I hope this helps.

If you have the "Automatic" button selected then that would happen. Otherwise press the "Auto" button again to put it in manual and then select the Plus/Minus suction controls to the setting you desire. Mine however only changes the suction power when I use the hose, when in "Auto", but never while using the brush bar. Really doesn't sound like you have a problem.

I would suggest trying a craft store. I don't use the ones that come with the unit - big pain in the butt. I just bought the new suction cup mount listed on Amazon but haven't received it yet!

let me clarify.My suction cup issues were with removing and reinstalling cups . i assume you kept the mount in one place during your oz trip ?

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

The suction cup is 2 3/4 inch and uses a suction lock like all the GPS units use. The standard camera mount screw uses 2 locking nuts to lock it into the desired position. I mount a fairly heavy Kodak Play sport video camera in my fire truck, and it works great. At the price they are selling this, its absolutely worth it.

Yes! I've had my mount for a month now and have to remove it daily and store it in my glove compartment. Same suction power as the first day. So far so good!

There's a twist ring right behind the suction pad: Put the pad against the surface you want it to stick to, twist the ring until it clicks and you should be good to go.

look just below the handle on the main upright before you get to the red release latch. there is a decal where it instructs you to "twist to adjust suction...." it's the only thing you can twist. THANKS for asking - i hadn't noticed it before & i need it, too!!

I just pulled the clip off of the suction cup mount and put it on the friction mount. If you don't have the suction cup mount I don't know where you would get the clip.

The suction is super sticky. I tried taking it off once and its pretty secure, which is good if you don't want to move it.

I've had mine attached to my windshield for two months now; taking my phone in and out of it frequently. I've never had a problem with it losing suction.

It's easy...... I say that because this thing sticks like glue so the hardest part about moving it is removing it first. Even that is not a huge problem. Re-position it many times and it is still good to go. If it were to stop sticking all you need do is wash the suction cup off as it has likely gotten dusty and dirty.
