If I attached one of these to the underside of a dSLR camera to connect it to a metal plate, would the magnet damage the electronics in the camera?

These are seriously powerful magnets - strong enough to cause pain if not used carefully. I have not done this and would not try it however I would wager that it would play havoc with at least the removable memory chips and possibly the camera's internal memory as well.

If you keep it attached to the camera all the time, it makes the camera slightly heavier. Otherwise, I find no downsides to the device. It works well and it is inexpensive.

The small screws on the underside are stops. They keep the plate and the camera from sliding through the clamp and possibly falling when the clamp is loosened.

It doesn't effect the camera at all. I used mine with no problem and it's a great case too!

No... and don't EVER purchase ANY cover for ANY electronic device that has a magnet closure. Devices with computer chips and memory cards, such as smart phones, notes, pads, etc., can have their components and memory damaged by magnets.

I'm not sure. I used it for a Polaroid digital camera. I haven't had any issues with it.

Typically, "NO." 1). The field of the permanent magnet is too weak to propagate very far beyond the ferrite attaching surface. What DOES propogate is significantly deminished. 2). The magntic field will "distort" -- to follow the attaching surface. 3). Modern, QUALITY electronics are generally sheilded as a part of their design. You are much MORE vulnerable to the "Vagaries" in your line power -- a result of a decaying, ill-maintained infrastructure.

Haven't had that problem. The manual just says turn the camera off and check the connection. I'd worry that the lens electronics were damaged.

I owned the Logitech keyboard for a short time but during that period I forgot about the magnets! I did place the keyboard next to my laptop and rested a credit card on top of the keyboard and there was no apparent damage, but it doesn't mean that it couldn't happen with extended exposure. I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly just to be sure. Good luck!

no. its not nearly strong enough to cause electronics damage. Successfully used this set to work on large HDDs. no issues.

The magnet is not real strong, just enough to hold the phone to the refrigerator or dishwasher (handy for a speaker call) but I honestly don't know if it will be enough to hurt other electronics.

I don't intend to risk damage to the electronics in the camera by trying it. Buy some spares and always use the proper charger(s).

It depends if your device is solid state or not. If it is solid state that means there are no moving parts so the magnets wont hurt anything. If your device is not solid state then you should power it completely off every time you store your laptop and move it. And if you do this properly, the magnets shouldnt have any affect on it. Also, the magnets are very small and not really what Id consider any threat to your device.

If the magnet were in the mount, then the phone would only be able to magnetize to the mount itself. The magnet being on the phone means it can attach to anything metal, not just the mount.

Depending on the electronics, it is possible to cause damage to devices like portable hard drive. I've used my rokform to hang my phone on my computer. No adverse effects noted to date. The magnet in the phone case is powerful but doesn't stop me from using around other electronics.

Yes, the camera has a built-in magnet that can attach to any ferious metal. This kit also comes with a suction-cup assessory which allows it to be attached to a non-ferious surface. The magnet is strong enough to hold the camera in position while hooking up your camper/trailer but, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on your tailgate while going down the road.

No. Only a hard drive or a tube TV are in danger of damage from this magnet.
