Hey All, new to the group and just bought a pair of Arlo Pro 2 cameras. What is the best outdoor mount? Trying to avoid rust I have read that has been an issue with a lot of the mounts.

Under eaves, I use the magnetic table top/ceiling mount. On the fence I normally just use the magnetic mount that comes with the cameras. I do have one stuck to a metal pole with a satellite dish attached. If you want a screw mount, make sure it has the smaller tightening nut if you ever intend on connecting power or a solar panel

I use this one too, it’s excellent. but be warned: the screws it comes with don’t hold up to a lot of torque, be sure to drill pilot holes first.

@terrie Thanksng that magnetic one will screw to a wall?

Yes, you can use it on a wall if you like. It's secured with 2 screws. The mount itself isn't magnetic. The magnet is in the Pro 2 camera. For Pro 3 and Ultra, they moved the magnet to inside the mount
