Wasserstein Gutter Mount Review — Worth it? Best for Blink Outdoor Users Who Want a Higher, Safer View
Trying to get a reliable, weatherproof mount for your Blink Outdoor or XT2/XT camera without drilling into a wall or paying for a professional install? Gutters are an obvious mounting point, but not all gutter mounts survive weather, hold a camera steady, or allow flexible aiming. The Wasserstein Weatherproof Gutter Mount promises a rust-resistant, adjustable, tool-free solution that keeps your camera up high and out of reach. In this review I’ll walk through materials, real-world use, pros and cons, quick comparisons, and who should consider this mount.
At a glance
- Compatibility: Designed for Blink Outdoor / Blink XT2 / XT cameras and other similarly sized cams
- Adjustability: 360° swivel + 180° tilt with secure angle lock
- Installation: Tool-free hang-on-gutter design; camera plate installs from either side
- Weather protection: Marketed as rust-resistant / weatherproof
- Warranty: Wasserstein 3-month warranty (refund or replacement if unresolved)
- Options: Available in 1-pack or 2-pack, colors: Black or White
Material & Quality
- Construction: The mount uses a coated metal bracket for the gutter clip and a metal/metal-plastic joint assembly for the swivel and tilt. The coating helps resist surface rust and reduces corrosion risk in typical outdoor conditions.
- Fit & finish: Pieces arrive well-machined and pre-assembled for the most part. The gutter plate sits flat and doesn’t twist under normal load from a Blink camera.
- Durability notes: Claims of “rust-resistant” are consistent with the powder-coated/painted finish—expect good seasonal resistance. For coastal or extreme-salt environments, consider upgrading to stainless-specific options if long-term exposure is a concern.
Real-World Experience — Pros & Cons
Pros
- Easy installation — hang the bracket on the gutter, snap the camera on the plate, then lock your angle. No drilling or special tools required.
- Flexible aiming — 360° swivel and 180° tilt let you dial in the field of view without moving the bracket. Angle lock keeps the camera steady through wind and minor bumps.
- Raised placement — mounting on a gutter gets the camera higher and less accessible to tampering or theft compared with low wall mounts.
- Affordable — pricing under $15 for a single pack (street price varies) makes this a budget-friendly way to add height and coverage.
- Compact footprint — does not block gutter flow significantly when installed correctly.
Cons
- Stability in heavy wind — while the lock holds in light-to-moderate conditions, very strong gusts can cause slight movement over time. Adding a small secondary anchor (if allowed) can help in windy areas.
- Gutter compatibility — designed for standard gutters; very thin, very rounded, or oversized commercial gutters may not seat as securely.
- Finish longevity — powder coating holds up well, but paint chips are possible if the mount is repeatedly removed and reinstalled.
- Short warranty period — a 3-month warranty is decent for testing, but longer warranties are offered by some competitors.
Quick comparison: Wasserstein vs. Two Common Alternatives
| Feature | Wasserstein Gutter Mount | Blink Official Mount (wall/gutter options) | Generic Stainless Gutter Bracket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compatibility | Made for Blink Outdoor/XT2; universal adapter fits similar cams | Designed specifically for Blink cams — perfect fit | Often universal, may need adapter |
| Adjustability | 360° swivel + 180° tilt, secure lock | Good adjustability, usually fewer degrees of rotation | Varies; some offer robust locks and broader angles |
| Weather resistance | Powder-coated, rust-resistant (good for most climates) | Official options are weatherproof | Stainless steel versions offer best long-term corrosion resistance |
| Price | Budget-friendly | Often pricier (branded accessory) | Mid to high depending on material |
Who is this best for?
- Homeowners who want a higher, theft-resistant mounting point without drilling into siding.
- Renters who need a no-damage mounting option for Blink Outdoor or similar cameras.
- Budget-conscious buyers who want good adjustability and basic weather resistance.
- People installing cameras on standard residential gutters (not ideal for heavy industrial or uniquely-shaped gutters).
Bottom line: If you need a low-cost, easy-to-install way to lift your Blink camera out of reach and tune the angle precisely, the Wasserstein gutter mount is a practical, value-forward choice—just check your gutter profile and local wind conditions before committing.
Installation tips
- Test-fit the mount on the gutter before attaching the camera to confirm seating and clearance.
- Angle the camera downward enough to avoid false motion triggers from birds or passing cars but keep the desired field of view.
- For windy locations, consider a small safety strap or secondary anchor if the mounting surface allows it.

Final verdict
The Wasserstein Weatherproof Gutter Mount is a sensible, economical solution for Blink Outdoor and XT2 users who want a higher vantage point without wall damage. It combines solid adjustability and decent weather protection at a price that makes sense for most homeowners and renters. If you need stainless-steel longevity or live in an extreme coastal/windy location, evaluate premium stainless alternatives; otherwise, this mount is “worth it” for most everyday installations.
