Aluminum 1/4 inch 20 Camera Tripod Adapter Mount, 360° Rotation 1/4"-20 Aluminum Tripod Adapter Mount Compatible with GoPro Hero 13/12/11/10, DJI Action 6/5 Pro/4, Xiaoyi and More Standard

I’ve used a bunch of GoPro mounts, mostly plastic ones and a few ball heads, but this was my first time trying a full metal 360° mount. I’ve been using it with a Hero 13 on a small tabletop tripod for product shots and some indoor filming over the past couple of weeks. Right away, the build quality stood out. It’s extremely well made. The aluminum feels solid and durable without being heavy. The design is simple but smart, everything fits together cleanly, and it just works. The 360 degree rotation is smooth once the camera’s mounted and tightened. You do have to lock it down before rotating, or it feels a little stiff, but once it’s set, it holds position really well. I also liked that it has a built-in thread, so you don’t need a separate nut. That makes setup faster and less fiddly. It’s compact enough to toss in a gear pouch without taking up space, and the 1/4" thread worked perfectly with my tripod and monopod. If you’re switching between setups or adjusting angles often, this mount makes that easier. It’s one of those small pieces of gear that just does its job without getting in the way. You might be surprised how much better it feels compared to the usual plastic ones.

Made very well feels heavy duty. Would definitely purchase again.

Great quality, so much better than a plastic one.

I bought this adapter because I wanted to mount my DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro on a standard tripod, but I didn’t have the right way to attach it. This adapter solved that problem perfectly. It fits my tripod very well and comes with the small screw needed to secure it. It also attaches nicely to the Action 5 Pro mounting system and holds the camera securely. The aluminum construction feels sturdy, it’s lightweight, and it doesn’t add much weight to my setup. I also like that it allows a little rotation, which is useful for adjusting the camera angle. My only complaint is that the thread doesn’t feel completely tight, so I sometimes wish it had a more secure lock. However, it still does its job, closes properly, and holds the camera well. Overall, it’s a practical and useful adapter if you need to connect an action camera to a standard tripod. It works well, is lightweight, and makes mounting the camera much easier.

Positive side: Nice build quality, sturdy and well crafted. Negative side: As others have mentioned, it can be difficult to turn it 360 degrees as I discovered. First off, the swivel isn't a linear movement, but rather a detent style of catch to hold the camera mount secure against the 1/4-20 tripod mount. Also as others have mentioned, I encountered the same as others when the swivel locked up and no amount of mechanical force would turn the swivel point of this camera mount. If your tripod mount will swivel, get this camera mount, the build quality is top notch. If your tripod doesn't swivel, then you should look elsewhere for this style of mount.

Worked great, nice value, seems quite durable

Good product, secure hold to tripod and camera. Light weight.

Good

I like it because it metal, I don’t like it because can’t move easily, hard to turn and impassable to turn the camera with it, too hard to turn
