Dash Cam Holders and Replacement Camera Mounts

A model-specific mount is usually the safest replacement. Match the connector exactly, keep the lens level and avoid obstructing the driver’s view.

A dash cam holder needs to secure the lens against vibration while allowing accurate alignment. The first choice should be the manufacturer’s mount for your exact model, because ball size, rail shape, adhesive footprint and power contacts are not universal.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Are dash cam holders universal?

Most are not. Even similar-looking mounts can use different rails, ball joints or powered connectors, so match the camera’s full model number.

Is an adhesive or suction dashcam mount better?

Adhesive mounts are usually smaller and more resistant to vibration. Suction mounts are easier to move, but need clean glass and periodic checks.

Can a dash cam mount be attached behind the rear-view mirror?

Often, provided the camera has a clear view and does not obstruct the driver or interfere with sensors. Check the vehicle manual before placing anything near an ADAS camera housing.

How do you stop a dash cam holder shaking?

Clean and prepare the glass, tighten only the specified joints and minimise the mount’s extension. Replace worn pads or joints with the correct manufacturer part.
