For temporary camera mounting, who makes magnetic mounts? I see that Panavise has a box camera 1/4-20 option:
Magdaddy also has a magnetic kit that looks like it might work for other form factor, but the documentation isn't clear:
Does anyone have experience with these or have other options? Especially curious how well they hold cameras of varying weights, not just relatively light box models.
I have always liked/used the RAM mounts, and they recently added a magnetic base as well. There are lots of options to build up just about any kind of mount system for cameras (or other devices).
I use magnet for trade show.
No worry at all even for PTZ camera.

Specifically, does anyone know of a magnetic mount suitable for temporarily surface-mounting a dome camera to drywall?
I just installed a couple of Arlo cams, they have a magnet installed in the camera. A bracket including with the camera is a simple button-like product with a metal half sphere. Works good, but restricts mobility somewhat. This bracket (Very similar to Brian's noted product) is available for $25 and looks like it will resolve my issues. This mount also makes the camera essentially portable (at least within range of the central unit). Put a camera in the grandkids playroom when they visit; move it out to the deck when they are playing outside.
I have always just ordered magnets and attached them to different mounts as needed or used them on dome cameras. Works great for proof a concept.

I've used the magdaddy's and LOVE them. We've also used their J-Hooks and the time savings is well worth the price.
