I've been using a K&F Concept tripod for years, and have been very pleased with it, so when I saw their suction cup mount, a jumped on it. This thing is great. It uses a pump to create a great amount of suction that allows it to hold on to a variety of relatively smooth surfaces. I've actually had this on one of my kitchen cabinets by the stove now to read recipes off of for the past two and a half weeks. And it never slipped, never fell, never needed to be re-pumped. It's not even a perfectly smooth surface. This is a stained wooden cabinet. I'm really impressed!
The core of the mount and arm is metal, and you can tighten it down very firmly. It has a standard 1/4" tripod style screw.
It comes with a phone mount and action camera mount, but you can use any of your own 1/4" mounts or adapt one of your larger threaded mounts with a screw adapter. The included mounting accessories are plastic, compared to the metal core, but are still good quality. I haven't had any issues with it, but in the future, when I use this thing outside of a car or something, I'd probably use one of my existing metal mounts with it instead for the added security.
I expected this to be a good mount given my history with the brand, but it's honestly exceeded my expectations. If you're in the market for something like this, I highly recommend this option. This is a legit brand, and they make some good products.

I hope to do a longer review on this when I can put it thru some better real-world testing. For now... Up front, I was a little skeptical. I've purchased a few of these types of suction mounts in the past and been disapointed. Not so with this one. The mount itself is easy to use and super secure. I've had it secured vertically on a glass surface for 2 weeks now, and it shows no signs of budging. It utilizes a pumping mechanism (the orange knob in the photo is the pump) to create pressure and increase adhesion. Eventually some of the pressure will release (it will depend on the surface you are mounting to, the weight you are putting on it, and other factors), but it works great! There is an indicator (th line around the knob) to help you guage how much to pump before it is secure, and when you see the line appear again (depending on how long you leave it on), you can simply add a few pumps to add more pressure. As securely as it holds, releasing/removing it when done is also still quite easy. Everything about this seems solid and well made.
I'll update this later with a video and more thoughts, but for now... 5 stars.

This is a high tech car cctv/phone holder. It is very easy to put together. It is also really easy to stick to the windscreen by pumping the button until the scribe line is hidden. You should make sure the screen is clean first though and once attached it will stay on until you want to remove it. Removing it is also very easy and leaves no residue. These are my favourite features as I sometimes want to remove and replace a mount and other designs either leave part of their glue behind or become difficult to put back in place. This has neither of these problems.
The design makes positioning the camera easy and also allows you to precisely aim where you like. Adjustment is also very easy if needs be.
You also get a holder for you mobile phone and this works well.
There was one down side for me though – the screw fitting on my dash cam was too small for the screw attachment, which is a shame. I don’t have a “Gopro” so can’t confirm if it fits this device, but it I can use it with the phone holder, so I didn’t feel it was right to mark it down. You should check that your device has the correct sized screw hole though.
However, it is really expensive at £39.99 as there are much cheaper things which do a similar job. Admittedly they don’t look anywhere near as good as this mount does and they aren’t so flexible regarding putting in place and removing later.

I'm a big fan of K&F products in general, they always seem to balance affordability with excellent quality. I already have the larger K&F suction cup mount which I am a big fan of, but while it works perfectly fine for large and small cameras, its size can be overkill for small action cameras and it is quite large in some smaller spaces. This 3" version is very similar, with the same excellent build quality and similar features, just in a smaller footprint.
The system starts with a suction-cup mount that has an air pump that creates a vacuum, making the suction hold very strong. If the suction starts to wane a bit, there is an indicator marking on the button to let you know to add more suction. This gives a sense of safety that you can monitor. On the mount there is also a small hole for adding a rope or cord if you want to tie off the mount to something and add another layer of security in case it should break free. Very thoughtful design.
The ball mount arm has a great lever that twists tight and has really no play, no extra movement once it is tight. The base has holes that are standard 1/4"-20 threaded holes which are the most common for accessories, and the ball mount has the same screws for mounting to the base and to your tripod hole on your camera or whatever other accessory you want to add. Included is also a spring-loaded phone mount which works very well, and an action camera mount that is pretty standard.
Great, strong, well-designed mounting system. I use this for mounting an action camera inside my vehicle, to the windshield mostly but also to side windows. The great benefit is, it is not permanently mounted, so it is so easy to remove and mount in a different spot anywhere else at any time. I've used a lot of mounting systems and most of them have been semi-permanent, affixed with tape or to the dash, so being able to have so much flexibility is refreshing.

Review for: "K&F Concept 3" Suction Cup Camera Mount with Magic Arm for Car, 1/4" ARRI Holes, Dual Ball head Magic Arm with Phone Holder and Action Cam Adapter Compatible with DJI Go Pro Hero 13 Insta360 X5 iPhone"
Brand: K&F Concept
First look:
The K&F Concept Camera Mount came in a box (15.2 cm 7.1 cm x 16.3 cm) with the User manual, Website paper, Suction cup, Magic arm, Phone holder, Action cam adapter, and Allen wrench.
Information & Precautions:
The phone mount can be mounted horizontally or vertically and the ball socket joints on the magic arm can go straight up or horizontally or anywhere in between.
The suction cup needs to go onto a surface that is dry, clean, flat, smooth, and non-porous. It will not work on painted surfaces, marble, old tile, wallpaper, unpainted wood surfaces, rough glass, or other rough surfaces.
The absorption status should be checked every 2 hours by checking that the warning line is not visible, and it is recommended to pressurize the air pump every 4 hours.
When used on the outside of a vehicle, it should only be used with a safety rope, and the vehicle should stay below 80 km/hr. There is a safety rope hanging hole but the safety rope is not included. Don't use the suction cup with a selfie stick or extension pole. The applicable temperature is -20°C to 60°C.
Operation:
Put the suction cup firmly onto the surface, then press the suction valve repeatedly until the safety warning line disappears. Make sure the suction cup is fully attached to the object. If the safety warning line is exposed during use, press the suction valve until the safety warning line disappears again.
To remove, first remove the equipment attached to it. Then press the release buttons on both sides of the suction cup at the same time to release the suction.
When storing the suction cup, cover the protective cap to prevent damage to the bottom of the suction cup.
Testing & Opinion:
I ordered the suction cup camera mount for my kayak. The front of my kayak isn't exactly flat so it does lift off more easily than if it was a flat surface. However, it does free up my hands when paddling and makes my videos much better than having the camera attached to my life jacket.
This is a neat mount for attaching cameras or phones to flat objects, and the suction cup works well and can be pumped to re-engage.

This 3-inch suction cup mount from K&F Concepts is a good solution for anyone needing to mount a smartphone or small camera. It is much more compact than other suction cup camera mounts and the perfect size for small action cameras. It's easy to toss into a bag, so you can mount your phone or action camera whenever you need to.
The mount attaches securely to smooth non-porous materials and takes a bit of effort to detach, which is exactly what you want from a suction cup. It's great for attaching to a vehicle windshield, since its small size doesn't block much of your view.
The included magic arm is very strong and made entirely of metal, allowing you to precisely position your camera. The kit also has a spring-loaded phone holder and a GoPro-style mount, so it should work with any small POV-style cameras.
K&F makes consistently excellent products and this suction cup mount is no exception.

I ordered this K&F Concept 3" Suction Cup Mount with 360° Double Ball Head Magic Arm to use with my DJI Osmo Action 3 Camera. Well it does that really well. The pump up suction pad really holds tightly onto flat surfaces, like glass, metal and so on. With it's 360 unlockable swivel head. I can get my Acton camera into any position for my filming needs. Over all I am happy that I ordered this K&F Concept 3" Suction Cup Mount with 360° Double Ball Head Magic Arm

I wanted to give this 5 starts! It is a very well built little gadget! Holds my camera very well. functional, and adjustable. Comes with 3 types of camera holders.
Comes in a very nice case, and has a good instruction manual.
However, according to the manual you are supposed to pump the little valve until the line "disappears" meaning the valve stays in. But I could never get it to do that. And on several surfaces, the suction did not stay. Perhaps I got a defective one? Thus only 4 stars.

I am completely blown away by the stuff being made by K&F. The quality is always top, the prices are excellent and everything is packaged up so well.
Lets say you have an action camera and you want to do some in-car vlogging. There's really nowhere to mount it to that gives a good perspective other than the windshield itself.
This action mount has a nifty way of suctioning to the windshield that doesn't require you to lick the suction cup (eww) or moisten it and then try to peel it off. Rather, just press it against whatever smooth surface you'd like and then hit the pump button a few times. Air is immediately sucked out creating a vacuum and air-tight seal.
Inside the extremely professional packaging, you'll also find a 1/4 to 1/4 adapter bracket so you can use this with larger format cameras, a GoPro mounting base and a cellphone adapter that can mount in vertical or horizontal mode. I tried various cameras and found it extremely stable. DX format camera with a 18-250 lens fully extended? No problem! (probably don't do this in a moving vehicle though)
K&F has continued to make great products at prices that are EXTREMELY reasonable for what you're getting and this is one more to add to the collection of excellent-value products.

Suction holds up really well. I love the pump and indicator- it’s something usually only found on higher end suction mounts. The included arm is well constructed and tightens pretty well.
The multiple screw threads are great and allow for multiple mounting options. An area to attach a safety cable is super important and something that often gets over looked on cheaper suction mounts but is necessary for pro use- so nice to see it on here.
Will definitely hold an action cam. I am tempted to get a couple more of these and rig up a mirrorless camera.
Either way, this has worked great so far. I used it on a professional shoot without issue, unfortunately the subject matter was under an NDA so I can’t share the photos. I’ll try to get some more later and add them to the review.
