is there a trick to "unattaching" the frame from the flat mount? Or does it take brute force? I'm struggling to get the two apart!

If you are trying to remove the frame from the mount. Just pinch the ends of the clip towards each other and push until it comes out. It seems like it takes a lot of force.

It just detaches pretty easily after entirely removing the screw. Give it a few tries in and out and it should come out in no time.

If you are referring to the where the go-pro slides into the mount (the mount on you dash, ie)---yes, it takes two hands, one to squeeze the two fingers together, and the other to push it out of the mount. Hope this helps!

It should come apart quite easily when you remove the tightening screw all the way.

So far as I know, the mount came put together and the arm can't be swapped to the other side. If you need it to swing out the opposite way, I'd guess it would have to be installed upside down....but you'd need to check with the manufacturer to verify that it is safe to do that (I don't know why it wouldn't be, but I'm no engineer...) I'm pretty sure the clamps do come off, so you'd just need to take them off and put them on upside down.

Were you able to get it out mounted using a different stand? If so, can I buy the ring stand from you as I lost mine during a recent move and I couldn't find a way to buy it anywhere?Thanks.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

Hi Charles, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Dash Cam release. It is a very tight fitting mechanism, so I can understand your dilemma. Releasing the camera from the mount just takes a little practice. As you know, the camera snaps into place when fitted into the mount. Therefore, it does take a little bit of force to "un-snap" the camera from the mount. Just make sure to squeeze the little lever that is on the mount closest to the camera before sliding the camera off of the mount. This will release a lot of the tension and give you the ability to more easily "un-snap" the camera from the mount. I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

Wow. I have never had any trouble separating the units. Is there any chance that someone glued the two pieces together? (Only answer I can think of)

It's possible to detach the frame. The construction is pretty inexpensive, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult. Although, if you take it out I wouldn't expect to be able to put it back. The frame when I received it was actually cracked, so I had to repair it just to avoid the hassle of returning for the low cost.

I would suggest getting someone to help. First you need to remove the stand. Also, you need to get a bracket kit that is compatible. I bought mine at Best Buy.Mine was not difficult to figure out once the bracket kit was attached. But, I had a handy man in my building help since it was a bit heavy to lift.

You can remove the outer brackets, but the top horizontal arm has to stay if you want to use the center mount.

Take off the lens, put your thumbs on both sides of the rx frame and push with equal pressure on both sides. It will come out without anything being broken.

No problem... Works great. You will have to get a washer from Home Depot and place it between the mount so it won't fall. Cheap fix, you will see exactly where when you get it. My wife loves it.

Hi David! The easiest way that I do it is to pull the release clip to the front of me. I can get it open easier that way. Hope this helps!

Mighty Mounts have a thumb screw that can be loosened to take the mount off. It takes about 5 minutes to take the mounts off factory bars.

I had some problems getting the thing apart too. I uploaded a picture with instructions. Hold the lowest part of the base in one hand, and then unscrew the ring counterclockwise to get it apart. From some of the answers I've seen to questions, there must be different models being sold under the same name. I was able to to unscrew everything by hand (there's no Allan wrench needed).

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power..I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guessthe two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

Mount on mount can be done , BUT the stability is bad and could cause injury. Its a chance I'm not willing to take.

You just pull very firmly. I was a little scared to break it or that the tilt ability didn't work, but it's actually easy if you just pull very firmly. The vertical bars will unlatch from the mount & then you can adjust how far forward you want to tilt the tv.
