Cameras can be supported in many ways, but when it comes to attaching a camera onto a smooth surface, this is made possible with the Virtual Reality Pump Cup with Spigot Adapter from Manfrotto. The cup, which has a weight capacity of 6.6 lb, suctions onto smooth non-porous surfaces, and within the half hemisphere of the ball-joint socket, the ball can move 360°. Furthermore, by releasing the large ratchet handle, a virtual reality camera can be placed in a variety of positions.

The VR suction cup includes a 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 double spigot, compatible with extension booms and other head attachment accessories. Moreover, the double spigot sits inside the 5/8" female socket which is secured with the screw knob, but also has a safety pin release. The safety pin prevents accidental release of the double spigot.
