Q:  What's the difference between the Sticky Pods with 3 versus 4 suction cups?

A:  My Sticky Pods and Dash Cams (3 suction cups) are designed for lightweight consumer cameras (2 pounds or less).  They are not as stable as the Pro Pak and Original (4 suction cups).  The Pro Pak and Original can handle high speeds and heavy G-forces in turns.  All this while creating better, more stable video.  The Original or the ProPak is what you need for racing.

Q:  How do I know if my camera has a mounting socket?

A:  Just look on the bottom of the camera for a small threaded screw hole.  If it's there, it is the right size.  I guarantee it.  They are universal throughout the camera industry.  If you're not sure what it is, just click here to see a couple examples on my cameras.

Q:  How long will the Sticky Pod^® stay in place?

A:  If your Sticky Pod^® is clean and the surface is clean, it will hold on far longer than any video tape will last.  I have had my Sticky Pods™ attached to a stationary window for over 2 months!  I routinely place Sticky Pods on my shop windows to ensure they can endure a variety of environmental challenges for several weeks.  You can place a Sticky Pod on the side of your car and have it stay in place for several days, even while driving.  In colder weather, the Sticky Pod is an exceptional performer.  While other suction cup camera mounts have an implossible time gripping any surface, the Sticky Pod will maintain it's grip for a very long time.

Q:  Can the Sticky Pod^® stay in place during high speed driving and cornering?

A:  YES!!  That's why I invented it in the first place.  It can withstand speeds up to 175MPH and I have never been able to shake it off at any speed.  As you can see, the good people at Tom's Hardware Guide take it for a 135MPH run down a California highway.

Q:  Is the Sticky Pod^® made out of plastic?

A:  NO!  The base is made from military grade aluminum that is machined for a precise fit and function.  The camera base (that's the little black square) is made out of thick heavy steel.  The extensions and the knuckles are made of solid aluminum.  In other words, the extensions are NOT hollow tubes.  You can literally drive over them!  Would you trust your camera on the outside of a car if the Sticky Pod^® was made out of cheap plastic parts?  Please have a look at the customer responses when they received their Sticky Pods™.  As you will see, they are very impressed.

Q:  Will a Sony Z1, Canon XL-2 or a Panasonic DVX-100 fit on a Sticky Pod^®?

A:  YES, or any other professional camera.  We guarantee that your Sticky Pod^® will fit or your money back.  We recommend you use a Bogen 577 video quick release with your prosumer camera to provide a more stable picture.  This is an excellent piece for anyone, click here to be taken directly to it.  The most common mount socket of all, found on all consumer cameras and many professional cameras, is what the Sticky Pod^® uses.  If your camera is a large professional video or film camera, such as a Sony F900 or an ARRI film camera, we created the Sticky Pod Director to handle these large movie cameras.

Q:  How much weight can it carry?

A:  As you will see on this site, I have a 25 pound weight hold up for several days!  Click here to see the video.  All consumer and many professional hand held cameras are well below 25 pounds.  If you never intend to place your camera on a vertical surface like a car window, then the heavier the camera, the better.  That's because the extra weight helps hold it in place on a horizontal surface.  If you're looking for professional video or film production results, I highly recommend you buy the Sticky Pod Director.

Q:  Do I need to wet the suction cups?

A:  No, if you wet the suction cups, your Sticky Pod^® may slide off your car.  These suction cups are NOT made from the cheap vinyl or plastic you got out of a cereal box.  These suction cups are custom made from high quality synthetic rubber ingredients.  The recipe is the secret behind the Sticky Pods™ success.  A little moisture will not hurt.
