SmallRig 5856 6" Suction Cup Mount for Action Cameras – Strong suction supporting up to 3kg for in-vehicle and time-lapse filming
The SmallRig 5856 is a three-component suction cup mount system made for action cameras. It combines a 6" suction cup, a magic arm, and an action camera mount into a single kit. The suction cup uses durable nitrile rubber, which offers wear resistance and a reliable seal across a wide temperature range.
Key features and design
The suction cup performs best on clean, dry, and flat surfaces. It delivers a powerful suction force and supports loads of up to 3kg when you pair it with the included magic arm. In practice, this makes the mount suitable for use inside vehicles or for indoor time-lapse setups.
The manual vacuum-pump locking mechanism secures the suction cup and includes a safety line indicator. This indicator helps you confirm that the mount has locked correctly before you start filming. Additionally, the kit includes a dust cover to prevent contamination when the mount is not in use, which helps extend the product's lifespan.
The magic arm attaches to the suction cup via a screw connection. It accepts action cameras directly and also works with compatible SmallRig accessories. The product notes explicit compatibility with cameras such as the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 when used with appropriate SmallRig adapters.
Typical use cases
- In-vehicle filming — use the suction cup on a clean, flat surface inside a vehicle to mount an action camera.
- Indoor time-lapse photography — the stable attachment and magic arm make it suitable for controlled indoor sequences.
- General action camera mounting — combine the suction cup, magic arm, and action camera mount for flexible positioning.
