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.

I picked this up to mount my GoPro 11 to a standard tripod while recording band concerts, and it worked perfectly. The adapter screws on easily, feels solid and well-built, and gave me the confidence to raise the tripod high without worrying about stability. What I really love is that it lets me control the camera remotely through the GoPro app—no need to touch the camera once it’s mounted. Simple, sturdy, and totally worth the price. Great little accessory that gets the job done right.

Robust and reliable

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.

Stable and adjustable. Solid design and works well with gopro.

picked up the Aluminum 1/4 inch 20 Camera Mount for my tripod, and it’s been a game-changer. The 360-degree rotation is awesome for getting smooth, versatile shots from any angle. It’s super sturdy, and the aluminum build feels high-quality and durable. I love how easy it is to attach my camera, and it locks in place securely. Whether I’m shooting videos or photos, this mount adapter makes everything easier and more stable. If you’re looking for a reliable, smooth camera mount for your tripod, this one’s definitely worth it!

Good quality

This mount does pan on both directions, however, the detent spring is so strong that it overcomes the 1/4” mounting screw that holds it to your tripod or other mounting system. If your objective is to be able to rotate the camera into a fixed position and not move it afterward, then this will work, since you can simply spin it all the way around in the rightward direction. If like me you are looking for an attachment that will let you rotate left or right as you are filming, then this is not for you. It will simply remove itself from the mount as you pan left. Otherwise this item seems to be well made. I made a video to demonstrate this minor but important shortcoming.

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
