Delkin Devices Fat Gecko Mini Mount
Ideal for high-intensity action sports, the Fat Gecko Mini Mount allows you to capture photos and videos of your adventures from unique, exciting perspectives.
With its ability to be used on a variety of objects, the Mini Mount can mount any camera to capture shots you normally would not be able to get. Attach it to your surfboard, snowboard, motorcycle, Jet Ski, ATV or even the top of a helmet; the possibilities are endless!
Attach to any Smooth Surface
Utilizing a 3 in. industrial-grade suction cup, the Fat Gecko Mini Mount creates a secure, damage-free attachment to any smooth, non-porous surface. Simply place the mount onto the desired object, push the button down to expel any air beneath the suction cup and lift the latch to create a firm, air-tight seal.
Originally designed to carry sheets of commercial glass, the patented suction cup offers a grip that is virtually incomparable. It has been tested on glass, plastic, helmets, boats, surfboards, countertops, even the exterior of vehicles going over 150 mph. In addition, the suction cup has also been tested in various extreme temperatures in order to ensure its reliability.
Customizable Angle Adjustment
Designed with two adjustment points, the Mini Mount can be angled and positioned in numerous ways to accommodate any shooting situation. The mount’s fully adjustable ball head enable 360° tilt, turn and rotation, while an additional adjustment knob at the suction cup allows the neck to be tilt back and forth at up to 140° for a completely customized set up. The adjusting knobs securely lock the ball head and neck into place, guaranteeing that your camera will stay in place, even throughout rapid, shaky movement.
Lightweight & Durable
At only 3 in. wide and weighing less than 1 lb., the Mini Mount provides convenient, hassle-free use, while remaining unobtrusive. The mount is also ruggedly constructed with a highly durable plastic, able to endure any shooting environment, including ones where wind, g-force and water come into play. Use it while surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, skydiving, etc. No matter how often you use it or what conditions it is put through, the Mini Mount will remain durable and sturdy for years of use.
Supports Cameras Weighing up to 4 lbs.
The built-in universal ¼”-20 tripod thread allows you to securely mount hundreds of different cameras, ranging from action cameras to camcorders, weighing up to 4 lbs. A rubber washer is included at the base of the tripod thread in order to prevent the bottom of your camera from being damaged, while ensuring a strong attachment when the lock ring has been tightened.

Update Feb/2024: has been working flawlessly since I purchased it. Very sturdy, no stripped or loose locking mechanisms.
Well constructed from heavy duty plastic and metal parts, it also offers a great deal of flexibility in terms of camera positioning. The suction cup is extremely strong, and I actually pulled the plastic mount base off my dash trying to remove the Fat Gecko. Afterward, I considered alternate uses for this mount which might come in handy for filming in other places. By mounting your camera to a window, you can get a unique angle, especially in a small space. This would also come in handy for placing the camera somewhere you can't fit a traditional tripod. Additionally, the Fat Gecko comes with a cold shoe attachment for mounting a microphone, light, or small display monitor.
In looking at the other product offerings, this is very much a modular system, with the ability to expand by purchasing additional mounts and combining them. As a film-maker, this is an especially appealing feature. Given the strength of the suction cups, I would feel comfortable mounting a camera to the outside of my car as I have seen done in Hollywood productions. I also intend to experiment with turning the camera mount into a steady cam by attaching a weighted plastic container.
All things considered, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the Fat Gecko, and I'm excited by the possibilities it offers. I highly recommend this line of camera mounts as they are well constructed, affordable, and with some imaginative thinking, offers a lot of options for filming any of a number of projects, scenes, or events.
I'm including a video I shot by mounting the camera directly on the passenger-side door of my car. The music is royalty -free, and the video is entirely my own. I cruised around at speeds of 35-40 mph, but I would be comfortable mounting a small, consumer grade video camera while traveling at much higher speeds.
The Fat Gecko Triple says that it's a combo of the Double and a Single, which isn't exactly true. If you buy a Single separately, it also comes with a flash bracket and a plastic extension that adds a few inches of reach to the arm. These items do not come with the Triple. However, one thing the Triple does include (that isn't included with the Single or Double) is an aluminum clamp which mounts on the extension bar of the Double. The clamp is used to combine a Single with the Double to make the Triple. Feel like I'm taking about baseball. Anyhow, if you add the cost of the Double and Single, it's close to the cost of the Triple, but I suppose the savings is that you get the clamp with the Triple, a part that costs $20 by itself.
As for the build quality, I find it to be very good. The pictures and description do not give this product justice. All the knuckle joints are made of metal. The twist locks are made of metal. The twist collars are made of metal. I'm not sure about the type of metal, but it doesn't appear to be the cheap pig iron that you find in many low quality parts. The ball joint is definitely steel as are the threaded posts (that hold your expensive gear). All the plastic that is used is a higher grade plastic than what most cheap Made in China products use. It's similar (if not the same) as the plastic used in Nikon and Canon products. As for other construction, the swivel where the suction cup mounts has click stops and washers and the clamps that tighten down over the balls are grooved to ensure a tight, slip free grip.
Now, for why I feel Fat Gecko exceeds other similar products. It's so ridiculously modular that you could build just about any configuration you could imagine (limited by how many sets as you want to purchase of course). When buying the Triple, you actually end up with a Double and Single. But, when I purchased another Triple, I found that I could make a Quad setup for maximum stability, and then had two Singles left over. All the parts interchange on all of the sets and Delkin also makes other products in the Fat Gecko line. I do not know about the whole line, but parts from the surface mount system can also be used with their Gator Clamp system as well. Along with the modularity comes maximum flexibility for adjustments. Many flat surface mount systems I've seen and researched would need a flat surface with all suction cup being on the same plane. Most can only mount two of three cups on something with as little curvature as a car hood. The Fat Gecko system has so many adjustment points that can be positioned in so many angles, I can't imagine many applications where a way to mount it, or the desired angle couldn't be found.
I'd say the fail point on most suction cup based systems would be the suction cups. Cuts, holes or other damage to the cups basically renders the entire system useless. Most systems I've looked at do not have a fix for this. On many, the suction cups are attached to the frame. Damage one cup and you'd just have to throw everything away. Even the most expensive systems offer no way to replace a suction cup. Now, Fat Gecko doesn't market the Stealth model as a replacement suction cup, but that's what it could be. For $20, you can buy a complete suction cup replacement that is easily exchanged for a damaged one.
The operation of the Fat Gecko is very simple. Just attach the suction cups fist, then adjust for angle and tighten down the clamps. Just remember to tighten all the clamps. The suction cups have a feature not found on most (even expensive sets) flat surface mount systems. A large button labeled "Press" is on top of the suction cup. Pressing the button forces air out of from under the cup. To finish securing the cup, a latch is lifted that locks it down. To remove the suction cups, just push down the latch and pull up the tabs on the sides. I've actually had the cups so secure that I've had to almost pry them off the surface.
I've tested this system in several settings with different mounting configurations and can confidently say that I have no problem trusting my $4,500 rig to this product.
The description says that some of the fittings are rubber to help minimize vibrations. I feel this is pretty much hype. Yes, there are runner O-rings at several connection points, but I feel their effect is negligible. However, regardless of the O-rings, this system is extremely stable (well, at least using three suction cups for mounting). One reviewer stated the Single was worthless for mounting a camera. I would not recommend mounting a DSLR on a Single, however a GoPro or anything of relative size shouldn't pose much of an issue. I use the Singles/Double for mounting lighting, mics, etc, so shake isn't an issue in those applications.
I read some other reviews with complaints about mounting on various surfaces as advertised by the manufacturer. I think there's a little ambiguity in the advertising, however maybe some user error in not fully understanding the limitations of this system. For one, the manufacturer clearly states that these systems will easily mount to any smooth, flat, non-porous, surface. These surfaces include windshields, car hoods, surfboards, helmets, etc. I think some issues that people have had is that they've mounted (or tried to mount) one of these rigs onto something that they thought was smooth, flat and non-porous, that actually was not. One reviewer had mentioned mounting a camera to a surfboard, only to lose everything in the ocean. The thing is, most surfboards I've seen do not have a smooth surface. Yes, most are flat and non-porous, but most I've seen are also textured. Textured in that they have small bumps, usually designed to increase traction. However, I'm sure there are boards out there that have a smooth surface. I just find it hard to believe (given my experience) that a properly sealed suction cup on a smooth surface surfboard couldn't hold the weight of a GoPro during the first wave. Also, I'd never mount anything to a car, cycle, surfboard, etc without using a tether. The issue I have with the cycle helmet claim by the manufacturer isn't that it's not true, it just may not be possible with a variety of helmets or more probable, probably not the view/angle you were hoping for. The picture on the packaging shows a Fat Gecko Single mounted to the side of a helmet. I've owned several helmets and know that due to the nature of design, the sides are longer and flatter (well, less round) than the rest of the helmet. Having ridden cycles for years, I personally would not want even a couple ounces of uneven weight on one side of the helmet. Not only that, but who'd want the whole right (or left) side of their recording to be obscured by the helmet. The best placement is the top center or back center of the helmet. Not currently owning a helmet, I haven't been able to test the mounting ability of the suction cups, but I think there's some validity to any issues people may have had with helmets. I'd say the marketing dept at Delkin ride.
Well, that's pretty much it. A great product that works fantastically for everything that I need it to do. I only gave four stars, because I think being manufactured in China, the whole Triple (which sells for $99) probably costs about $9 to produce. I guess the mark up comes from the photos of the product mounted on helmets and such. Could be priced a little more appropriately I'd say. Also, I'm no rubber specialist, but I'm not sure if the rubber used for the suction cups is of the highest quality or not. I'm on the fence about that, as I've seen the black, denser rubbers that seem to last longer, but possibly don't have the same tack and grip as the clear rubber, which seems to wear (and color) faster. And that's all I have to say about that.

Der Drei-Beiner macht eine gute Figur und hält sehr gut auf glatten Oberflächen.
Leider hatte sich bei Nutzung des Ein-Bein-Saugnapfes dieser sich gelöst und "verabschiedet". Zu spät festgestellt. Die montierte ActionCam hatte überlebt.
Der Zweibeiner hat somit nur noch die Aufgabe der insta360 zu halten.
Fazit: Wenn es den Einbeiner als Ersatz nachzukaufen gäbe, dann würden nicht nur 5 Sterne stehen, sondern auch 2 Daumen nach oben zeigen.
It takes vibration and harsh G force well keeping the camera exactly where you set it. I use a go pro, if you used a bigger heavier camera I don't think it would be a problem, but I'd probably use a duel suction mount.
The weight of the kit is very light but extremely well built and sturdy, it's made from a very hard plastic. I think it looks like a very good quality product.
It can fit most applications due to it coming with a short extension piece, I would like to have another extension if I was being picky.
