Review cadence target: every 90 days, or earlier when vendor, standards, or regulatory references materially change.
Evidence dates: baseline reviewed 2026-04-05, stage1b increments re-reviewed 2026-05-06.
Use the real camera + housing + adapter weight, not the bare camera marketing number. Valid range: 1 to 2500 g.
The logic is conservative on purpose because interface mismatch, dynamic load, and wet-use claims fail faster than static magnet marketing. Where public data is incomplete, the tool keeps status in pending confirmation (待确认) instead of inferring a pass.
Empty state
Start with the real camera-side interface and mounted weight. The tool then tells you whether an action camera magnetic mount for sale request still fits an open-mold supplier, a semi-custom OEM, or a full custom manufacturer.
Official signals in this tool come from supplier and brand pages plus standards and regulator pages. Baseline evidence was reviewed on 2026-04-05, with stage1b increments re-reviewed on 2026-05-06. These signals are pre-qualification anchors, not universal field ratings for every magnetic mount in the market.
Vehicle-scene guidance is intentionally conservative: current public pages now include lanyard or tether signals, ISO 16750-3 and the IEC 60068 vibration/shock methods are treated as protocol anchors, and Arnold’s holding-force guidance says coatings, roughness, and flatness can reduce the real hold well below brochure expectations.
Wearable-scene compliance boundaries are split on purpose: REACH nickel migration thresholds, California Prop 65 warning posture, and FDA implant-device magnet standoff guidance are different decision gates. Passing one gate does not automatically close the others.
This selector does not certify impact retention, magnet safety around medical devices, or full waterproof performance. Those stay in supplier review.
If you searched for action camera magnetic mount, camera magnetic mount, camera mount magnetic, camera magnet mount, action camera with magnetic mount, action camera magnetic mount supplier, action camera magnetic mount manufacturer, or the broader magnetic camera mount manufacturer, this is the canonical page you want. On Coated Magnets, those aliases and adjacent for-sale / factory / China supplier queries are handled as one supplier-selection and RFQ journey rather than separate retail or duplicate manufacturer pages. Use the selector first to decide whether the job belongs with an open-mold supplier, a semi-custom OEM assembler, or a full custom factory. Then use the report layer to verify interface families, magnetic boundaries, and supplier signals reviewed on 2026-04-05, with stage1b evidence increments reviewed on 2026-05-06.
PGYTECH motion window
80 km/h + 300 g
PGYTECH’s current CapLock page says max load is 300 g and vehicle-scene speed should not exceed 80 km/h on metallic surfaces. Treat that as SKU-specific evidence, not a universal magnetic-mount rule.
Vehicle backup retention
Lanyard / tether
PGYTECH now recommends a safety lanyard when mounted outside a vehicle, and DJI’s current suction-cup comparator separately recommends a safety tether. A motion window without backup retention is still incomplete.
Static hold signal
25 kg
SUREWO publishes 25 kg vertical pull on a 66 mm magnetic base for action cameras.
Wearable magnet boundary
6 in / 15 cm
FDA guidance for high-field consumer magnets says to keep them at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from implanted medical devices.
REACH nickel skin-contact gate
0.2 / 0.5 µg/cm²/week
REACH Annex XVII Entry 27 sets 0.2 µg/cm²/week for post assemblies and 0.5 µg/cm²/week for direct and prolonged skin contact; for coated articles, the 0.5 limit must hold for at least two years of normal use. ECHA’s 2 April 2014 definition-building note also gives an operational prolonged-contact interpretation (more than 10 min on three or more occasions within two weeks, or 30 min on one or more occasions). Reviewed 2026-05-06.
Ulanzi load window
1 kg / 500 g
The current Ulanzi C062GBB1 page lists 1 kg ballhead load capacity and separately recommends devices within 500 g when equipped with the GoPro adapter. The same page also shows six magnets and a metal-surface silicone base.
Camera-body baseline
146 g to 177.2 g (official)
Current official pages list DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro at 146 g, GoPro HERO12 Black at 154 g with battery (121 g body only), GoPro HERO13 Black at 159 g (camera + mounting + battery on GoPro’s compare module), and Insta360 Ace Pro 2 at about 177.2 g before cages, mics, and adapter stacks are added.
Air-freight magnetic gate (US)
>0.00525 gauss @ 15 ft = forbidden
49 CFR 173.21(d) states that for carriage by aircraft, any package above 0.00525 gauss measured at 4.5 m (15 ft) from any surface is forbidden.
USPS non-regulated gate
<0.002 gauss @ 7 ft
USPS Publication 52 section 349 says magnetized material under 0.002 gauss at 7 ft is non-regulated; domestic surface transport is not regulated as hazardous material. For domestic air mail at or above 0.002 gauss at 7 ft, USPS also requires magnetized-material labeling and shipping paper controls, while anything above 0.00525 gauss at 15 ft is nonmailable by air. Reviewed 2026-05-06.
Pull-test comparability gate
ASTM WK70439 = proposed
ASTM WK70439 says there is currently no standardized guidance for magnetic holding-force pull tests. ASTM’s Nov 12, 2025 update also says proprietary methods can produce wildly different values. Treat cross-vendor pull-force ranking as pending until one common method is locked. Reviewed 2026-05-06.
Non-magnetic speed comparator
150+ mph (GoPro suction)
GoPro’s suction-cup page says speed tested at 150+ mph but limits use to clean surfaces and excludes surfing, snowboarding, and other high-impact sports.
It will tell you which supplier lane is most defensible for the interface, weight, scene, and custom scope you entered.
It will separate camera-side quick-release evidence from metal-surface base evidence and show when static pull, catalog payload, and any published vehicle-scene comparator are not the same number.
It will not certify safety-critical retention, full waterproof performance, or proprietary-latch copying without a deeper engineering review.
This summary compresses the page into the critical buying conclusions for the manufacturer alias cluster, then shows the load and applicability boundaries before you move into the deeper comparison and evidence sections.
Buyer searched for action camera magnetic mount for sale but still needs RFQ-level supplier screening instead of a retail checkout flow.
Buyer needs a China manufacturer or OEM source for GoPro, DJI, Insta360, or 1/4-20 magnetic mounts.
Project still needs help deciding between open-mold, semi-custom, and full custom supplier lanes.
RFQ must include interface, payload, environment, and material stack instead of only a photo.
Impact-heavy or safety-critical retention where a magnet-only answer is not sufficient.
Unclear interface, unclear mounted weight, or a request to copy a branded magnetic latch without design ownership.
Salt, sweat, or wash-down exposure combined with new geometry and mass-production timing.
The selector answers the immediate supplier-lane question. The report layer below shows the selection logic, the official product and company signals, and the RFQ structure that keeps the project out of vague catalog chasing.

| Supplier | Published signal | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| TELESIN | Founded in 2013 in Shenzhen; its current about page says it serves 10M+ users in 200+ countries and regions, offers 300+ products, and separately says its distribution network spans 62 countries. | Useful signal for buyers who need an established accessory platform and fast iteration from a China supplier with catalog depth. |
| SUREWO | Hangzhou-based manufacturer established in 2016 with in-house R&D, design, production, sales, and assembly operations. | Shows the type of supplier that can bridge injection parts, hardware processing, and final assembly for accessory-style programs. |

| Source | Published signal | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| GoPro Magnetic Latch Mount (AEMAG-001) | The current official page says the Magnetic Latch Mount is compatible with HERO13 Black, MAX2, and LIT HERO, uses a magnetic dual-latch design, tells users to use built-in mounting fingers for high-shock / high-vibration activities, and warns about pacemaker interference. | A camera-side magnetic latch can still carry both a hard scene boundary and a medical-device warning on the same official SKU. |
| GoPro Magnetic Latch 1/4-20 Mount (AEMAG-003) | GoPro’s current 1/4-20 variant says it attaches the same magnetic latch system to any standard 1/4-20 accessory, stays compatible with HERO13 Black, MAX2, and LIT HERO, repeats the high-shock built-in-fingers caveat, and carries the same pacemaker warning. | Even inside one brand, a magnetic quick-release request can branch into standard GoPro-mount or 1/4-20 threaded hardware. |
| DJI Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount | DJI publishes a magnetic quick-release design with a positioning clip, compatibility with Osmo 360 / Action 5 Pro / 4 / 3, and wording that it greatly enhances impact resistance. | This is a camera-side DJI ecosystem interface. It is not a generic GoPro finger mount request. |
| Insta360 Quick Release Mount 2.0 | The official page says it switches between 1/4" and 2-prong mounts, uses a sliding lock to prevent accidental detachment, and should be avoided in high-intensity activities such as on-road or off-road cycling. | A branded magnetic quick release can still carry explicit scene limits, so “magnetic” alone is too vague for sourcing. |
| PGYTECH CapLock | The current official page publishes nylon + fiberglass, aluminum alloy, and silicone materials, positions the mount on metallic surfaces such as vehicle bodies and railings, states a 300 g maximum load with speed not exceeding 80 km/h, and recommends a safety lanyard when used outside a vehicle. | This is a useful product-specific motion boundary with explicit backup retention, but it is still not transferable to another supplier, another panel geometry, or a heavier camera. |
| Ulanzi C062GBB1 | The current official page lists 1 kg ballhead load capacity, recommends devices within 500 g when equipped with the GoPro adapter, and shows six magnets plus ABS + aluminum alloy + silicone rubber construction. | Useful current anchor only if you keep ballhead capacity separate from the lighter device recommendation. |
| SUREWO magnetic camera mount | Publishes a 66 mm diameter base, 25 kg laboratory vertical pull, and also says actual use is subject to the adsorption surface, while describing aluminum-alloy construction and a soft-rubber cover. | Useful static-hold anchor, but still needs conversion into a real scene-specific payload review. |
| DJI Osmo Action Suction Cup Mount | DJI’s current suction-cup page says it is for smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces, is suitable only for non-impact activities, requires a tether for outdoor vehicle use, and limits outside-vehicle use to flat roads below 80 kph. | This is not proof for magnetic performance, but it shows what an explicit official dynamic-use boundary looks like when a brand publishes one. |
This review pass adds official GoPro, DJI, Insta360, ASTM, ISO, IEC, and FDA evidence to separate two different magnet architectures and to mark the claims that still need supplier verification.

| Source | Where the magnet works | Published signal | Decision impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoPro Magnetic Latch Mount (AEMAG-001) | Camera-side magnetic latch interface | Magnetic dual-latch interface that still tells users to switch to built-in mounting fingers for high-shock / high-vibration scenes. | Do not assume every GoPro magnetic latch SKU is the right answer for aggressive scenes. |
| GoPro Magnetic Latch 1/4-20 Mount (AEMAG-003) | Camera-side magnetic latch to 1/4-20 accessory path | Same magnetic latch family routed into a standard 1/4-20 accessory path, with the same high-shock caveat and medical-device warning. | A factory brief still has to name whether the exit interface is GoPro-mount or 1/4-20 thread. |
| DJI Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount | Camera-side magnetic quick release | Magnetic quick-release design, positioning clip, and compatibility limited to listed DJI action-camera models. | This is a DJI ecosystem interface, not a generic GoPro or 1/4-20 requirement. |
| Insta360 Quick Release Mount 2.0 | Camera-side quick release with lock | Magnetic quick release between 1/4" and 2-prong mounts with a sliding lock and a high-intensity-activity warning. | Brand magnetic quick release can still have explicit scene limits and lock geometry differences. |
| PGYTECH / Ulanzi / SUREWO / TELESIN | Scene-side magnetic base on metal surfaces | PGYTECH now publishes 300 g / <=80 km/h on one CapLock mount, Ulanzi publishes 1 kg ballhead capacity plus <=500 g device guidance, SUREWO publishes 25 kg vertical pull, and TELESIN still does not publish a public speed or payload limit on its cited page. | These figures are not interchangeable with camera-side magnetic latch claims, and they still are not enough to approve another magnetic base for vehicle-speed use by themselves. |

| Claim area | What the public record shows | What still needs proof | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrosion / marine claim | ASTM B117-26 covers the salt-spray apparatus and operating practice, explicitly says it does not prescribe specimen type, exposure period, or result interpretation, and says natural-environment prediction seldom correlates when used standalone. ISO 9227:2022 specifies NSS / AASS / CASS methods but also leaves the product-level exposure plan to the spec. | The supplier still has to name the method, exposure duration, pass criterion, and post-test retention check for the exact mount SKU. | Method exists; service-life prediction still pending |
| Ingress or waterproof rating | IEC 60529 defines enclosure IP-code tests for solids and liquids, while ISO 20653:2023 defines IP-code testing for road-vehicle electrical equipment. As of 2026-04-05, the reviewed PGYTECH, Ulanzi, SUREWO, and TELESIN magnetic-base pages still did not publish an IP code for the cited mounts. | If rain, rinse, or marine use matters, ask for the exact IP code, test condition, port state, and post-test retention check or mark the rating as unavailable. | No reliable public rating found |
| Dynamic vehicle validation | As of 2026-04-05, PGYTECH publishes a 300 g maximum load, speed not exceeding 80 km/h, and a safety-lanyard recommendation on one CapLock magnetic mount, Ulanzi still publishes no speed cap, and SUREWO still publishes static pull rather than a moving-scene protocol. DJI’s non-magnetic suction cup mount remains the clearest adjacent comparator with a tethered outside-vehicle rule. | Require the real surface, speed, vibration profile, camera mass, and sample-pass criteria before approving a vehicle-use claim on any new SKU. | SKU-level public proof exists; cross-SKU proof still missing |
| Cross-family speed comparator misuse | As of 2026-04-05, GoPro’s suction-cup page says speed tested at 150+ mph and excludes surfing, snowboarding, and other high-impact sports, while Insta360’s Back Bar page says smooth-road speed should not exceed 80 km/h and bumpy-road speed should not exceed 40 km/h. | Speed numbers still have to be mapped to the exact mount family, accessory stack, surface prep, and activity boundary before they can enter an RFQ. | Public comparator windows exist; direct magnetic equivalence is not proven |
| Named vibration and shock protocol | ISO 16750-3:2023 defines mechanical-load testing for road-vehicle electrical and electronic equipment by mounting location and references IEC vibration and shock methods. IEC 60068-2-6 covers sinusoidal vibration, IEC 60068-2-27 covers shock, and IEC 60068-2-64 covers broadband random vibration. | For each quoted mount, require the declared method, axis count, severity profile, duration, and pass criterion instead of accepting generic “road tested” language. | Method framework is public; SKU-level report is still pending |
| Cross-brand pull-force comparability | ASTM WK70439 says there is currently no standardized guidance for testing and documenting magnetic holding force, and ASTM’s Nov 12, 2025 committee update says industries still use proprietary methods that can produce wildly different values. | If two suppliers both publish pull-force numbers, require the same fixture geometry, contact surface, pull direction (pull-off vs shear), dwell time, and pass rule before treating those values as comparable. | Standardization effort is public; universal comparison method is still pending |
| Contact-state holding force | Arnold’s holding-force guidance says flatness, roughness, and coatings or other gap-creators all affect holding force, and that most calculations overstate the actual holding force. The same Arnold guidance also says the closer the magnet is to the steel, the greater the holding force, and that paint or other non-magnetic layers create a gap that reduces pull. | Record paint or powder thickness, curvature, contact flatness, and whether the buyer needs pull-off, shear, or vibration retention on the real substrate. | Principle is public; project-specific contact state still pending |
| Magnet warning for wearables | GoPro magnetic latch pages carry a medical-device warning, and FDA guidance for high-field consumer magnets says to keep them at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from implanted medical devices. | Do not treat silence on another page as proof of no risk. Review warning copy, body placement, and standoff distance SKU by SKU for wearable programs. | General safety boundary exists |
| Skin-contact nickel release compliance | REACH Annex XVII Entry 27 sets nickel migration at 0.2 µg/cm²/week for post assemblies in pierced body parts and 0.5 µg/cm²/week for articles intended for direct and prolonged skin contact; it also requires coated articles to keep the 0.5 limit for at least two years of normal use. ECHA’s nickel definition-building document (2 Apr 2014) further operationalizes prolonged contact as more than 10 minutes on three or more occasions within two weeks, or 30 minutes on one or more occasions within two weeks. | For wearable clips, neck mounts, or skin-contact hardware, require report-to-SKU traceability for the final coated part set, including test method and coating-durability assumptions. | Threshold and contact-time framework exist; final-SKU evidence still pending |
| Prop 65 warning interpretation | California’s Prop 65 FAQ states warning duty is exposure-based and that a warning does not itself mean a product violates safety standards. OEHHA safe-harbor guidance also explains that warnings are not required when exposure is at or below published safe-harbor levels, while nickel compounds remain listed on the Prop 65 chemical list. | Map target-market exposure assumptions and final labeling decisions by lane (California retail, non-California US, EU) instead of assuming one compliance artifact covers all markets. | Public warning framework exists; SKU exposure posture still pending |
| Surface compatibility | Ulanzi says metal surfaces, PGYTECH says metallic surfaces, SUREWO positions cars and iron frames, and TELESIN says metal and flat surfaces. BSSA separately says ferritic, martensitic, and duplex stainless steels are magnetic, while austenitic stainless is usually low-magnetic and can change after cold work or welding. | Confirm the real substrate family, paint gap, curvature, and whether the mounting face has enough live magnetic response before sampling. | Material-family boundary exists; panel fit still needs project-specific check |
| Cross-brand compatibility | GoPro now publishes both a standard magnetic latch mount and a 1/4-20 magnetic latch mount, while DJI and Insta360 keep model-specific quick-release adapter systems. | Require the exact camera model list, adapter photos or CAD, and the intended exit interface before approving a multi-platform RFQ. | Public model paths exist; project fit still pending |
| 1/4-20 interface boundary | ISO 1222:2010 specifies screw connections between cameras and tripods or other accessories and was confirmed in 2025. | Thread compatibility alone does not prove anti-loosening under vibration or impact. Ask for anti-rotation, torque, and retention checks for the assembled mount stack. | Interface standard exists; assembled-retention proof still pending |
| Heat / magnet grade / coating | Arnold says NdFeB maximum use temperature depends on grade and lists common bands from 80°C through 200°C, while also recommending protective coating in humid applications. | Require the exact magnet grade, coating, and post-heat or post-humidity retention check for the quoted SKU. | Material boundary exists; SKU-level stack still pending |
| MOQ / lead time | As of 2026-04-05, the reviewed official supplier and brand pages did not publish a comparable MOQ or production lead-time benchmark for these mounts. | Ask for sample lead time, pilot lead time, MOQ by packaging variant, and any tooling lead time in the first RFQ. | No reliable public benchmark found |
| Air-freight magnetized package compliance | 49 CFR 173.21(d) sets the aircraft-forbidden threshold at >0.00525 gauss at 4.5 m (15 ft), and PHMSA Interpretation 09-0084 says packages at or below that value are treated as non-magnetic under HMR; the same interpretation still points to ICAO PI 953 for possible aircraft handling marks and document controls. | Require packaged-SKU field measurement, shielding plan, test orientation, and mode-specific release notes (HMR + ICAO + carrier rules) before committing aircraft shipments. | Regulatory threshold exists; packaged-SKU measurement still pending |
| Mode-specific logistics release path | USPS Publication 52 section 349 says <0.002 gauss at 7 ft is non-regulated for mail, domestic surface transport is not regulated as hazardous material, and >0.00525 gauss at 15 ft is prohibited for domestic mail by air. The same USPS section also requires magnetized-material warning labels and shipping paper controls for regulated domestic-air mail, while PHMSA 09-0084 notes the HMR treatment and ICAO PI 953 operator-handling context. | Confirm which lanes are in scope (air cargo, postal air, domestic surface, ocean), then provide packaged-field readings and packing configuration evidence for each lane. | Public lane boundaries exist; lane-specific release evidence still pending |
| Cross-brand road-speed envelope for magnetic bases | As of 2026-05-06, the reviewed public pages are not method-normalized: PGYTECH publishes an 80 km/h cap with a specific setup, DJI’s cited comparator is suction-cup scoped, and other cited magnetic-base pages do not publish equivalent dynamic protocols. | No reliable public cross-brand benchmark is currently available; keep vehicle-speed claims in pending confirmation (待确认) state until project-specific dynamic validation exists. | No reliable public benchmark (待确认) |
| Test-report credibility | ISO/IEC 17025:2017 sets requirements for laboratory competence, impartiality, and consistent operation. ILAC’s MRA signatory-search resources are the public path to confirm recognized accreditation bodies and laboratory directories. | Verify that the lab scope covers the exact vibration, shock, ingress, and corrosion method used in the report for the quoted SKU. | Credibility framework is public; report-scope fit still pending |
This section adds the highest-value review delta: the current public motion windows, the outside-vehicle backup-retention signal, the contact-state boundary around coatings and flatness, the stainless-family boundary, and the magnet-grade / coating boundary that usually gets lost when buyers only ask for a “strong magnetic mount.”

| Bare carbon steel or flat painted steel over steel | PGYTECH, Ulanzi, SUREWO, and TELESIN all position their cited magnetic bases on metal or metallic vehicle-style surfaces. | Still ask about paint thickness, curvature, and contact patch. A flat painted steel panel can still behave differently from clean bare steel. | Official product pages reviewed 2026-04-05 |
| Painted, powder-coated, or film-covered steel | Arnold says surface coating or other gap-creators reduce holding force because they increase the non-magnetic gap between the magnet and the steel. | Do not treat coated steel as equivalent to bare steel. Ask for coating thickness and test the real painted part before approving the sample. | Arnold holding-force guidance reviewed 2026-04-05 |
| Curved or rough steel contact patch | Arnold says flatness and roughness affect holding force, and that most calculations overstate the actual holding force. | A round rail, curved guard, or uneven panel can lose margin before the nominal magnet force number changes on paper. | Arnold holding-force guidance reviewed 2026-04-05 |
| Austenitic stainless steel | BSSA says austenitic stainless is usually described as low-magnetic or effectively non-magnetic to a hand-held magnet. | Do not assume a stainless boat rail or decorative panel is a safe magnetic surface without a live pull check. | BSSA reviewed 2026-04-05 |
| Ferritic, martensitic, or duplex stainless steel | BSSA says these stainless families are magnetic. | They are better candidates than austenitic stainless, but geometry and finish still need validation on the real part. | BSSA reviewed 2026-04-05 |

| Reference | What it proves | What it does not prove | What to ask next |
|---|---|---|---|
| IEC 60529 IP code | Defines enclosure tests for resistance to solids and liquids under named conditions. | Magnetic retention after vibration, paint gap, corrosion, or a mounted camera’s leverage. | If a supplier says waterproof, ask for the exact IP code, test setup, and post-test retention check. |
| ISO 20653:2023 | Defines IP-code testing for road-vehicle electrical equipment and extends the ingress discussion into vehicle-specific contexts. | Magnetic retention, adapter-lock stability, or corrosion life for a specific action-camera mount assembly. | When the use scene is vehicle-mounted, ask whether ingress evidence is framed under IEC 60529, ISO 20653, or both. |
| ASTM B117-26 | Defines the salt-spray apparatus and operating practice for controlled corrosion testing. | Standalone prediction of natural-environment life, or your exposure hours / pass-fail rule. | Require hours, sample configuration, finish stack, and the retention metric after the exposure. |
| ISO 9227:2022 | Defines NSS / AASS / CASS corrosion-test methods and cabinet conditions. | Your specimen geometry, exposure duration, or result interpretation unless the project spec defines them. | Use the ISO name to lock the method, then still write the SKU-level exposure plan. |
| ISO 16750-3:2023 | Defines mechanical-load testing expectations for road-vehicle electrical/electronic equipment by mounting location. | A pass result for your specific mount unless the supplier publishes the exact test profile and pass criteria for that SKU. | Ask suppliers to map each vehicle-use claim to a named mechanical-load method and specimen configuration. |
| IEC 60068-2-6 / -2-27 / -2-64 | Provides standardized methods for sinusoidal vibration, shock, and broadband random vibration test conditions. | That the selected severity, duration, axis coverage, and pass rule match your camera mass, leverage, and mounting scene. | Require method number, profile, duration, axes, and fail criteria in the report instead of accepting generic vibration claims. |
| ASTM WK70439 (in development) | Publicly states a standardization project is underway for pull testing permanent magnet assemblies. | Any direct cross-brand comparability today, because the method is still proposed and not yet a published, universally adopted standard. | Run one buyer-defined protocol across all supplier samples and reject apples-to-oranges pull-force tables. |
| ISO 1222:2010 (confirmed 2025) | Specifies the screw connections between cameras and tripods or other accessories. | Assembled anti-loosening performance under vibration, impact, or repetitive handling. | Pair thread-compatibility claims with anti-rotation, torque, and post-vibration retention checks on the finished stack. |
| FDA magnet guidance | High-strength consumer magnets can affect implanted devices and should stay at least 6 in / 15 cm away. | The field strength or safe standoff for a specific action-camera mount without SKU-level review. | Keep chest and wearable programs conservative and review warning language SKU by SKU. |
| REACH Annex XVII Entry 27 + ECHA nickel definition note | Defines 0.2 and 0.5 µg/cm²/week nickel-release thresholds, requires coated skin-contact articles to remain within 0.5 µg/cm²/week for at least two years of normal use, and provides an operational prolonged-contact interpretation. | That your assembled coated clip, buckle, or neck-contact part stays compliant after wear, coating damage, sweat, or cleaning cycles. | Request EN 1811 / EN 12472-aligned nickel-release evidence on the final finished component set and keep the report tied to the exact SKU revision. |
| California Prop 65 FAQ + OEHHA safe-harbor framework | Defines warning duty as exposure-based and explains that a warning does not by itself indicate a product violates safety standards. | That the same SKU automatically passes REACH nickel-migration thresholds or any other market-specific restriction framework. | Run a market-by-market decision table (EU restriction compliance, California warning posture, other destination rules) before packaging is frozen. |
| 49 CFR 173.21(d) aircraft magnetic-field limit (eCFR text) | Sets a measurable aircraft-shipment boundary: material is forbidden if package field strength is above 0.00525 gauss at 15 ft (4.6 m). | That your SKU passes all air-carriage programs without a packaged measurement and a lane-specific release plan. (The eCFR is continuously updated and not itself the official legal print edition.) | Request packaged-SKU magnetic-field test data and shielding details before booking air freight. |
| PHMSA 09-0084 interpretation + ICAO PI 953 boundary | PHMSA says materials at or below 0.00525 gauss at 15 ft are treated as non-magnetic under HMR and documents that ICAO PI 953 can still require handling marks/document language in aircraft contexts. | Automatic acceptance by every airline, integrator, or country program without a carrier-specific check. | Add a mode-and-carrier release matrix to the RFQ and verify the required marks, statements, and measurement records before shipment. |
| USPS Publication 52 section 349 (Packaging Instruction 9B) | Publishes a second measurable gate for mail (<0.002 gauss at 7 ft non-regulated) and requires warning-label plus shipping-paper controls for regulated domestic-air magnetized material. | That non-US postal or commercial air-cargo lanes follow the same acceptance logic. | If postal lanes are planned, include both 7 ft and 15 ft field checks and document which lanes are postal air vs surface. |
| FAA AC 121-28 loading guidance | Explains that package orientation and shielding affect aircraft-compass deviation risk and gives loading guidance for strong magnetic materials. | That a package is compliant without measured field data and accepted handling procedures. | Record keeper-bar/shielding design, loading orientation, and measured field data in the shipment release pack. |
| DJI suction-cup comparator | A nearby official action-camera mount can define surface prep, speed, non-impact use, and tether rules very explicitly. | Any magnetic-base retention claim. | If a magnetic supplier cannot show comparable scene detail, treat vehicle use as unvalidated. |
| BSSA stainless guidance | Ferritic, martensitic, and duplex stainless families are magnetic, while austenitic stainless is usually low-magnetic and can change after cold work or weld-metal structure. | That your exact stainless rail, panel, or trim part gives enough pull for a camera mount without a live test. | Write the substrate family into the RFQ and test the actual panel instead of writing only “stainless.” |
| Arnold holding-force guidance | Holding force depends on flatness, roughness, and coatings or other gap-creators, and direct-contact strength falls as the magnet moves away from the steel. | Your actual pull-off, shear, or vibration margin on a painted curved panel without project-specific testing. | Write paint thickness, curvature, contact area, and the required failure mode into the RFQ, then test on the real substrate. |
| Arnold NdFeB guidance | NdFeB maximum use temperature depends on grade, with common guidance bands from 80°C up to 200°C, and protective coating is recommended in humid applications. | That the quoted mount uses the right grade, coating, or post-exposure retention check for your hot or wet scene. | Ask for the magnet grade code, coating stack, and retention result after heat or humidity exposure. |
| ISO/IEC 17025:2017 + ILAC MRA | Defines laboratory-competence requirements and provides a public route to recognized accreditation-body and lab directories. | That a report automatically covers the exact method scope or specimen configuration needed for your RFQ. | Check the report method list and accreditation scope match before accepting the test as release evidence. |

| Claim area | Ask for this | If it is missing |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior vehicle use | Surface material, paint thickness, contact flatness, road type, speed window, max camera mass, secondary-retention rule, and sample pass/fail result. | Treat the sample as bench-only or stationary proof-of-concept, not approved moving use. |
| Waterproof / IP | Exact IP code, IEC 60529 test condition, connector / port state, sealing accessories used, and post-test retention check. | Mark “public IP rating unavailable” and test the real assembly separately. |
| Corrosion / marine | ASTM B117-26 or ISO 9227:2022 method, hours, finish stack, cosmetic vs functional pass rule, and post-spray retention test. | Do not market marine durability or quote salt-spray hours. |
| Dynamic vibration and shock retention | Named method (ISO 16750-3 and/or IEC 60068-2-6, -2-27, -2-64), axis plan, severity profile, test duration, and pass/fail criteria tied to the mounted payload. | Treat vehicle-use claims as pending and do not publish road-scene promises. |
| Cross-brand pull-force comparison | One shared pull-test protocol across samples: fixture geometry, contact surface condition, pull direction, dwell time, and pass criteria. | Treat pull-force numbers as non-comparable and keep supplier ranking in pre-qualification. |
| Wearable / chest / neck use | Medical-device warning language, minimum body standoff, comfort / sweat material details, and secondary retention if impact is possible. | Keep it out of chest-adjacent or safety-critical use. |
| Skin-contact nickel release (wearable hardware) | Nickel-release evidence for the finished coated part set, aligned to REACH Entry 27 limits (0.2 / 0.5 µg/cm²/week), EN 1811 / EN 12472 test logic, and the coating-durability expectation for at least two years of normal use. | Treat wearable skin-contact claims as pending and keep the project in engineering and compliance review. |
| Cross-platform compatibility | Camera model list, adapter photos or CAD, thread spec, sample fit matrix, and packaging callouts by ecosystem. | Reduce scope to one ecosystem before the RFQ. |
| 1/4-20 interface reliability | Thread standard declaration (ISO 1222-compatible path), anti-rotation detail, torque guidance, and post-vibration loosening check on the assembled stack. | Treat thread-fit confirmation as incomplete and keep the sample in engineering review. |
| Surface family and finish | Substrate family, paint or powder thickness, curvature, contact patch size, and whether the target is carbon steel, magnetic stainless, austenitic stainless, or a non-magnetic material. | Treat the magnetic claim as bench-only until the real panel or rail is tested. |
| Magnet grade / heat / coating | Magnet material or grade, maximum use temperature, protective coating, and retention check after heat or humidity exposure. | Do not assume dashboard sun, rinse-down, or marine exposure is covered. |
| MOQ / lead time | Sample lead time, pilot lead time, MOQ by packaging variant, and any tooling lead time if structure changes are involved. | Do not plan launch timing or carton commitments from catalog pages alone. |
| Air-freight release (magnetized package) | Packaged magnetic-field measurement at 15 ft (4.6 m), shielding method, and packing orientation used during the test. | Assume aircraft shipment can be delayed, reworked, or rejected and keep logistics plans uncommitted. |
| Mode-specific logistics declaration | Explicit shipment-lane split (air cargo / postal air / domestic surface / ocean), packaged-field values at 15 ft and 7 ft where applicable, and the carrier acceptance basis used for each lane. | Treat shipping feasibility as pending; do not promise launch dates tied to unvalidated transport lanes. |
| Test-report credibility | Report method list, laboratory accreditation identifier, scope coverage for each cited standard, and result-to-SKU traceability. | Keep the report at reference level only and request scope-matched evidence before release. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| REACH Annex XVII Entry 27 (consolidated legal text) | Sets 0.2 µg/cm²/week nickel migration for post assemblies in pierced parts and 0.5 µg/cm²/week for articles intended for direct and prolonged skin contact, with a coating-durability condition at the 0.5 limit for at least two years of normal use. | Wearable clips, straps, or chest-contact hardware need finished-part migration evidence, not only material declarations. | Report-to-SKU traceability for the final coated assembly after wear simulation. | Consolidated legal text and ECHA attachment reviewed 2026-05-06 |
| ECHA prolonged-contact definition note (2 Apr 2014) | Provides operational interpretation of prolonged skin contact for nickel restriction work: more than 10 minutes on three or more occasions within two weeks, or 30 minutes on one or more occasions within two weeks. | Lets buyers translate abstract “prolonged contact” wording into real wearable-use checks during RFQ review. | Final interpretation still needs to be mapped to the project’s exact body-contact pattern and final finished part test reports. | ECHA reviewed 2026-05-06 |
| Prop 65 FAQ + OEHHA nickel-compounds listing | California Prop 65 guidance states warnings are exposure-based and do not by themselves indicate a safety-standard violation; OEHHA also keeps nickel compounds listed. | A REACH-compliant part can still need a California warning workflow depending on exposure assumptions and route-to-market. | Final legal-label decision for each target market and final coating stack. | California Prop 65 pages reviewed 2026-05-06 |
Every row below can still be a valid answer for the broader manufacturer query. The real decision is whether the project needs open-mold speed, semi-custom assembly, or a full custom factory program.
Swipe sideways on mobile to compare every column in this table.
| Supplier lane | Best when | Manufacturing path | Official signal | Watchouts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open-mold private-label supplier | Known GoPro-style interface, light payload, and brand / packaging changes only. | Existing accessory SKU, minor color or pack changes, fast sample loop. | TELESIN catalog scale and TELESIN magnetic-base positioning, with no public vehicle-scene speed or payload limit on the cited product page. | Little differentiation, limited geometry control, and no room for high-impact claims or ambitious moving-vehicle promises. |
| Semi-custom metal-surface OEM | Vehicle or steel-surface use needs 1/4-20, ball-head, pad, or kit edits without new latch tooling. | Magnets + CNC / metal hardware + pad + accessory kit assembly. | PGYTECH’s 300 g / <=80 km/h CapLock window plus safety-lanyard guidance, SUREWO’s 25 kg static pull, Ulanzi’s split 1 kg / <=500 g wording, and Arnold’s warning that coatings or other gap-creators reduce holding force. | Paint gap, vibration, and moving-scene payload still need validation on the real surface. |
| Multi-platform quick-release assembler | Project must bridge action-camera ecosystems or bundle more than one interface kit. | Known mount body with adapter-stack changes and tighter interchange review. | GoPro now publishes both standard and 1/4-20 magnetic latch paths, while DJI and Insta360 keep different quick-release logic and scene boundaries. | Interface sprawl, packaging confusion, and higher return risk if adapter fit is vague. |
| Full custom OEM / ODM manufacturer | Buyer needs a new latch, new body, wet-use stack, or stronger differentiation. | DFM, tooling, prototype loops, retention testing, and supplier-owned process control. | TELESIN scale signals, SUREWO process coverage, ASTM / ISO / IEC method boundaries, and Arnold’s magnet-grade / coating guidance once wet-use or high-heat claims appear. | Tooling cost, longer timing, and much higher damage if requirements stay vague. |
This matrix is meant for procurement teams that need to turn search intent into a usable first email. It compresses the handoff logic into the fields that usually affect sample rhythm, MOQ expectations, and packing clarity.
Swipe sideways on mobile to compare every column in this table.
| Supplier lane | Buyer should send | Sample plan | MOQ signal | Packing focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open-mold factory fit | Camera model, interface photos, target logo / packaging changes, and mounted-weight estimate. | Fast fit and appearance sample; confirm packaging before brand rollout. | Usually the lowest MOQ path because the structure stays closest to an existing part. | Retail pack, barcode, inner separation, and accessory count must still be locked early. |
| Semi-custom OEM supplier | Thread spec, pad material request, bracket or ball-head interface, use scene, and real mounted weight. | Sample should prove both the revised hardware details and the intended use scene. | MOQ rises when hardware, pad, or kit complexity increases. | Accessory grouping, export carton split, and OEM labels become part of the RFQ. |
| Full custom manufacturer | CAD or detailed sketches, failure mode to prevent, environment boundary, and expected validation path. | Prototype loop should validate retention, structure, and packaging assumptions before pilot release. | MOQ depends on tooling, validation burden, and assembly complexity rather than a simple catalog threshold. | Packing method must be treated as part of the product definition and shipment release checklist. |
This mid-page handoff gives buyers two options: send a tighter RFQ brief now, or move to the adjacent page that matches the unresolved variable.
Send these five fields first
This is where the page turns a generic supplier search into a practical sourcing decision. Each case shows what changes first once the interface, scene, and custom scope become concrete.
This section keeps the report honest. The page is only useful if it shows where interface certainty, magnetic retention, and environment assumptions stop being safe shortcuts.
Why it matters: A supplier can publish an impressive vertical hold number and still have a much smaller safe payload once vibration, leverage, and paint gap show up. Even with PGYTECH now publishing one 300 g / <=80 km/h product-specific window, there is still no shared cross-brand protocol.
How to handle it: Ask for moving-scene validation with the real camera weight and actual surface instead of accepting pull force alone.
Why it matters: PGYTECH now recommends a safety lanyard when its magnetic mount is used outside a vehicle, and DJI’s suction-cup comparator separately recommends a tether. If the sample plan has no backup retention, the public guidance is already weaker than adjacent official pages.
How to handle it: Write the lanyard or tether rule into the RFQ, sample plan, and packaging before the first vehicle-use claim goes live.
Why it matters: Official non-magnetic comparators already diverge: GoPro suction cup says speed tested at 150+ mph with a high-impact-sports exclusion, while Insta360 Back Bar says smooth roads <=80 km/h and bumpy roads <=40 km/h. One headline number can hide very different setup conditions.
How to handle it: Tie each speed claim to the exact mount architecture, accessory stack, surface requirement, and activity boundary before it enters an RFQ.
Why it matters: GoPro fingers, 1/4-20, and proprietary magnetic latches are not interchangeable once the tooling and packaging are frozen.
How to handle it: Put interface photos or CAD in the first RFQ and force the sample plan to prove camera-side fit before color or carton work.
Why it matters: Arnold’s holding-force guidance says flatness, roughness, and coatings or other gap-creators all affect holding force, and that most calculations overstate the actual holding force. A painted curved steel panel is not the same as a flat bare-steel test coupon.
How to handle it: Capture paint thickness, curvature, and contact patch in the RFQ, then validate the real panel with the real payload instead of reusing brochure numbers.
Why it matters: ASTM WK70439 states there is currently no standardized guidance for magnetic holding-force pull tests, and ASTM’s Nov 12, 2025 update says proprietary methods can produce wildly different values.
How to handle it: Before ranking suppliers, freeze one pull-test protocol and require every sample to be tested under the same geometry, surface condition, and failure criterion.
Why it matters: ASTM B117-26, ISO 9227:2022, and IEC 60529 answer different questions, and the reviewed product pages do not publish one shared pass level for these mounts. “Marine-ready” or “waterproof” is not enough by itself.
How to handle it: Ask for the named standard, duration, pass criterion, and post-test retention check. If the supplier cannot provide them, mark the claim as unverified.
Why it matters: GoPro magnetic latch pages carry a pacemaker / medical-device warning, and FDA guidance says high-field consumer magnets should stay at least 6 inches away from implanted devices. Silence on another page is not proof of no risk.
How to handle it: Keep wearable projects conservative, review warning copy SKU by SKU, and do not assume cross-brand equivalence.
Why it matters: REACH Entry 27 sets 0.2 / 0.5 µg/cm²/week migration thresholds and a two-year coating-durability condition, while Prop 65 warning duty remains exposure-based and market-specific. A generic “stainless” or “nickel plated” line is not enough for wearable contact claims.
How to handle it: Require EN 1811 / EN 12472-aligned evidence on the final coated part revision before approving wearable skin-contact use.
Why it matters: BSSA says austenitic stainless is usually low-magnetic, while ferritic, martensitic, and duplex stainless families are magnetic. Paint, curvature, and contact area still change the real hold window.
How to handle it: Write the real substrate family and finish into the RFQ, then test on the actual panel or rail before approving the sample.
Why it matters: Arnold says NdFeB maximum use temperature depends on grade and recommends protective coating in humid applications. A hot or wet scene can fail the magnet stack before the housing looks damaged.
How to handle it: Ask for grade code, coating type, and a retention result after thermal or humidity exposure.
Why it matters: 49 CFR 173.21(d) still sets a hard aircraft-forbidden gate above 0.00525 gauss at 15 ft. PHMSA Interpretation 09-0084 also notes that ICAO PI 953 can still add aircraft handling/document controls even when a package is at or below that threshold.
How to handle it: Add packaged-field measurement, shielding details, packed-orientation records, and carrier/ICAO release confirmation before committing aircraft timelines.
Why it matters: USPS PI 9B uses an additional 7 ft (<0.002 gauss) non-regulated mail gate and treats domestic surface transport differently from domestic air mail. FAA AC 121-28 also highlights magnetic orientation and compass-interference concerns during loading.
How to handle it: Split shipment planning by lane (air cargo, postal air, surface, ocean) and keep lane-specific measurements and acceptance evidence in the release package.
Why it matters: A new latch or body design is easy to sketch and expensive to stabilize if the team still does not know whether it is solving vibration, corrosion, comfort, or compatibility.
How to handle it: Write one sentence that defines the primary failure to prevent, then use that sentence to gate prototypes and validation.
The page uses official supplier, brand, regulator, trade-association, and standards pages. Baseline set reviewed on 2026-04-05; stage1b additions and re-checks reviewed on 2026-05-06. Where a conclusion is an engineering inference instead of a direct product claim, the copy says so explicitly.
These answers are written to cover the exact action camera magnetic mount alias, camera magnetic mount alias, camera mount magnetic alias, camera magnet mount alias, action camera with magnetic mount alias, manufacturer alias, for-sale alias, factory variant, and broader manufacturer query without splitting them into competing URLs.
Send the camera interface, total mounted weight, target use scene, and the exact custom scope. That is the minimum detail needed to move from keyword-level guidance into a reviewed manufacturer conversation.
If the actual need is a finished catalog accessory instead of a supplier-selection project, the broader product hub is the better next page.
