Overview

The Garmin 010-12530-00 is a low-profile adhesive mount with a magnetic base for compatible Garmin Dash Cam models, giving you a clean install that is quick to remove and reattach when you need to stow the camera or adjust its view.

The mount uses a small ball joint sized at 0.3 in (8.55 mm), so it matches the Garmin Dash Cam mounting interface it is intended for. Once the adhesive base is set on a smooth surface, the camera snaps on magnetically, which is handy in high-vibration environments like a pilothouse or a hardtop-equipped center console.

Key features

• Adhesive base with a magnetic connection, so the camera can be removed and reattached without re-positioning the mount
• Low-profile form factor that helps keep the mount discreet and out of your line of sight
• 0.3 in (8.55 mm) ball joint interface for the compatible Garmin Dash Cam mount socket
• Works well for protected, interior mounting locations where you want a stable platform without a suction cup

Compatibility and fit

This mount is made for specific Garmin devices and should be matched to the camera model before purchase. Compatible devices include Garmin Dash Cam 45, 46, 47, 55, 56, 57, 65W, 66W, 67W, and Dash Cam Tandem, as well as Garmin Speak and Speak Plus.

Installation and setup

Plan the location first so the camera has a clear forward view without blocking the helm sightlines. Adhesive mounts hold best on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as interior glass or a flat, sealed panel. For marine use, keep the mount in a protected spot out of direct spray and routine washdowns, and route the camera cable so it cannot tug on the mount when the boat is pounding or when the cabin heats up in the sun.

What’s included

• Low-profile magnetic mount
• Magnetic base disk
• Adhesive material for mounting

Use cases on board

This mount is a good match for boaters running a compatible Garmin Dash Cam in an enclosed helm, wheelhouse, or cabin window to capture transits, docking, and incident footage without leaving a suction cup on the glass. The magnetic interface also makes it easy to remove the camera when leaving the boat unattended.

Maintenance and care

Periodically check that the adhesive base is still firmly bonded, especially after big temperature swings or long runs in chop. Wipe the mounting area and the magnetic contact surfaces if dust or film builds up, since small debris can prevent the camera from seating fully.
