After 3 months of testing this gutter mount with my Blink Outdoor 4 through thunderstorms and a heatwave, I'm convinced it's one of those rare accessories that delivers exactly what it promises. The aluminum alloy bracket hasn't shown a speck of rust, and the weatherproof housing kept my camera dry during sideways rain.

What surprised me most was the charging cutout design - no more awkwardly unmounting the camera when the battery runs low. Just plug it in while still secured, which is genius for second-story installations. The 360° swivel adjustment let me perfectly frame my driveway without that awkward 'security camera lean' most mounts force.

Installation took exactly 93 seconds (yes, I timed it) on my vinyl gutters. The grip strength is impressive - during a recent windstorm that knocked over patio furniture, the camera stayed firmly pointed where I'd set it. One pro tip: Do your angle adjustments before final tightening to avoid the 'ball joint wobble' one reviewer mentioned.

While it's marketed for Blink cameras, I discovered it works brilliantly as a solar panel mount too - the same corrosion-resistant materials and tool-free installation make it versatile for outdoor tech. At this price point, it's outperforming mounts I've paid twice as much for.
