Here is a competitors mounting stick with shade. Note that you are not able to use an action cam like a Go Pro with this model. Also note how the shade can only protect your phone from sun in back. If the sun is directly overhead, off to the sides, or even somewhat in front… your phone will overheat in no time!
Our QM-1s are designed specifically to mount on TOP of the fence. Providing a secure mounting point for your action cam, smart phone, or camcorder.
Other mounts require you to mount through the fence. Not only is this almost impossible to do with wind screens up, it provides an insecure mount. The pole and camera easily rotate many times during the match. Also, because you are mounting through the fencing, you do not get the same birds-eye view of the court that the QM-1 offers
All of the “other” mounts are made cheaply in China and shipped to the US. Here are some reviews taken directly from other websites about these products:
1-star: “Crap”
“This is a crap product. The extender barely extends, gets stuck and won’t work. I’d look elsewhere”
– Ben
1-star: “Failed when I needed it”
“1st day out, I took it to the court and the pole would not extend. Its locked in the closed position, very very frustrating. Returning and looking for something new”
– NA
1-star: “Not the best quality”
“This broke after 3 uses”
– Jay
1-star: “Stripped threads on first use”
“The poles to mounting frame connection failed on my first use. Poor quality metal on the pole threads and mount housing receiver threads”
– Michael
2-star: “always turn sideways”
“I own two of these and neither one stays straight. You put them on the fence and they ALWAYS turn sideways”
– Brandon
1-star: “Not enough angle features”
“Useless for tennis. Can’t return now”

The QM-1 is PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA! Here are some of our public reviews from other websites
5-star: “Best equipment for SwingVision!”
“Been using SwingVision for a long time and this has been my go-to device! My first time I used the [other mount] but once I was convinced of the value I went in 100% and got this mount. The angle is so great, my matches look broadcast quality. Incredibly sturdy and easy to hang on both fences and indoor curtains!”
– TennisPlaya
5-star: “Fantastic Tennis Tool!”
“This is a really great device. Solid, well made, and easy to use. I’ve been able to use this to hang my phone from fences but also from curtains at the back of indoor tennis courts to get good video of my hitting sessions. Great product and excellent customer service!”
– ERT
5-star: “Very well suited for using your iPhone to shoot video of tennis court”
“The clam for my iPhone 8 worked very well and I was confident it could survive a hit from a tennis ball. Used the wide angle lens and it produced good results by capturing the entire back court.”
-YYL
5-star: “Great Mount for Tennis”
“Solid, durable, and easy to use fence mount that holds my phone securely. Gives great broadcast-like viewing angles on tennis courts, allowing me to easily record and watch myself play. Pairs great with the SwingVision app!”
– Nick
