Wyze said in this video that switching from the previous mount to this mount helped bring down the cost of the cam:
The idea of this OG cam was to try to make it their new flagship entry-level camera. It won’t be for everyone. Those who want the extra bells and whistles for a slightly higher cost is recommended to choose either the mid-range camera models (ie: V3 cam) or the higher-end Pro models (V3 Pro) instead, which should suit those extra needs a little better. In the AMA they did recently, they talked about how they were intending to offer 3 types of cameras: Entry-level, Mid-range, and the higher-Pro level of cameras. This one is the Entry-Level that they are purposely keeping as affordable as possible. It certainly won’t be the perfect fit for everyone.
It would be nice if they would create a mount adapter though. Then we could attach standard mounts to it instead. I would really love that, because I have several flexi-tripods I like to use to mount my cameras, but they don’t fit this camera, and affordable mount adapters are hard to come by.
Might I suggest you join in voting on this wishlist item with some of the rest of us, and add to the discussion?
Wyze is paying attention to the wishlist a lot more this year, so the more people who vote for it and show interest, the more they will consider solutions for this issue.
