Capturing off road adventures in crisp, immersive 360° detail has never been easier with the Insta360. Mounting your camera to a 4WD vehicle, especially on the chassis or near the wheel, comes with a challenge: securing the camera without damaging your vehicle's paint or surface.
For those looking for a durable, non-invasive mounting option for their 4WD setups. Here are our recommendations for the best mounting options for your Insta360, whether you're heading into the bush, crawling over rocks, or hitting muddy tracks.
🚙 Top Mounting Options for 4WDs
When mounting a camera externally on a vehicle, it’s essential to choose hardware that’s:
-
Secure and stable in high vibration environments
-
Easy to mount and remove without leaving marks
-
Compatible with curved or uneven surfaces
Below are the top CamGo-recommended mounts for 4WD use:
1. Suction Cup Mounts – Paint Safe & Secure
These are ideal for mounting on metal panels, windows, or other smooth surfaces on your 4WD. They don’t require drilling or adhesives, making them paint safe and easy to reposition.
🔧 Recommended Options:
-
Aluminium Dual 3 Way Suction Cup Mount for Insta360
Dual suction cups provide extra grip and stability, even on slightly curved surfaces. Great for low-angle shots from the sides of your vehicle. -
Extra Large Triple Suction Cup Mount for Insta360
Designed for extreme stability, this mount is perfect for capturing footage during high-speed or bumpy rides. The triple base distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of camera shake or detachment.
✅ Tip: Always clean the surface before mounting and test suction strength before driving.
2. Clamp Mounts – Rugged & Versatile
Clamp mounts attach directly to structural parts like bull bars, roof racks, or chassis rails, providing a very secure hold. They're ideal when a flat surface isn’t available or when extra strength is needed.
🔧 Recommended Option:
-
3 Way Super Clamp Mount for Insta360
This heavy duty mount gives you flexibility with multiple angles and strong grip on bars or edges. It’s especially useful for undercarriage shots or unconventional perspectives.
✅ Note: For paint protection, always use rubber padding or cloth between the clamp and painted surfaces.
🧰 Pro Mounting Tips for 4WD Action
-
Check mount tightness regularly during long drives or off-road segments.
-
Use a tether as a backup in case the primary mount fails.
-
Mount lower on the vehicle (like near the wheels) for epic close-up terrain shots—but keep it safe from debris and impacts.
-
Clean and dry all surfaces before attaching suction cups for maximum grip.
