> 24 hourI recently obtained an outdoor security camera that uses a solar panel to keep its battery charged. While the camera came with everything necessary to mount it and the panel, I also wanted to have additional mounting options (other than drilling into the brick on my house). I saw this camer / panel mount from Holicfun and ordered it through the Vine program. The mount came with everything needed to mount on to your roofs rain gutter. It can mount both a solar panel and the camera itself. I do have to say I was disappointed by how plasticky it is. The ball sockets are all plastic and dont look all that durable. However, the part that attaches the mount, to the gutter, is steel. I opted to mount the camera by drilling into the brick, but chose to mount the solar panel on this gutter mount. I had no trouble doing this (as can be seen in the pic), but again, I dont have all that much faith in its long-term durability (especially with Winter approaching) against exposure to the weather. Ill update this review if the need arises. I hope that my review and photos are of use to you. Regards.

> 24 hourWhile this mount is versatile if mounting in other areas, my preference is on the gutter. This method generally gives a higher vantage point for attaching the solar panel to assure good sun exposure. It is ready out of the box and I had it up in 10 minutes. Its versatility for mounting in other areas are covered with included hardware; but, it also allows for mounting a camera directly on the unit if desired. Good solution at a reasonable price.

> 24 hourThis didn’t fit well on my gutters, and I returned them for an OEM Ring branded gutter mount. They may work fine for you. They don’t seem as sturdy as the brand name product, however.

> 24 hourI ordered this so that I could more efficiently mount a Ring stick up cam. Ive got a couple of Ring camera around the perimeter of my house, all powered by solar panels. Because of the design of the roofline of my house, theres really no good way to mount the solar panels. I end up just laying them on the roof, and a good rain or wind will blow them off. This handy bracket solves that problem for me. Even though Im not using it to hold the camera, I did try temporarily mounting both the camera and the solar panel just to see how it would work. I can report that this bracket does exactly what its intended to do, providing a solid support for a camera and a solar panel. Keep in mind that the stability of this bracket is going to depend on the gutter to which it is mounted. If you mount this far from an anchor point on a flimsy, damaged, or loose gutter, the weight of the camera and solar panel might cause movement in the wind, setting off your motion detection and resulting in false positives. Thats not the fault of the bracket, but it is something you need to consider if your gutters are in bad shape.

> 24 hourI like this a lot. No need to drill any holes which is a plus. The true test is how it holds up in the rain. The material looks good so I’m not expecting any issues. It was very easy to install and the price is very affordable. I got this for the corner of my house. I angle one camera on one side of the house and the other facing around the corner.
