I used these earlier on this summer when filming for Joe Morley who
was cartwheeling his creek boat with the Suction Cup and it stayed
on strong with no problems.

My advice for the most secure system is to lock on the Suction
Cup first, separate to the locking arm and then screw in and
tighten the Locking Arm in place before tweaking your positioning.
This way your Locking Arm is tight into the Suction Cup. I always
recommend using a tether with the Suction Cup for extra
security, I have knocked mine off a couple of times but only due to
hitting it with my paddle when on a short freestyle kayak and of
course the dreaded slalom poles! Amazon sell some cheap 3M
tethers that do a great job.

The Locking Arm features two ball joints and one allows you to
pivot through 180 degrees and rotate through 360 so you have
full control how you position your camera. I am a Contour user, so
for me having the adjustability is great. Both ball joints lock in place
thanks to a single twist lock knob making it quick and easy to
adjust.

The Suction Cup is very intuitive, it has a red rubber band around
the exterior, which can easily be gripped and twisted to lock the cup.
I use these and have had no issues on my kayaks in the wet, or on
my car bonnet, windscreen etc in the rain. I shall be taking mine skiing
in February to try out on a ski/board too. Oh yeah and I’ve even
stuck it onto a storm troopers helmet!
