We put the Victure HC200 and APEMAN H55 through our deer-hunting gauntlet—who delivered 95% of our buck shots and who left us checking empty SD cards in the cold?
Strapped to a hunting blind or tree, we pit Victure HC200 against APEMAN H55 mounts—two rugged, repurposed options for scouting and trail‑cam support. As seasoned hunters, we test durability, setup speed, and field performance to choose our pack favorite.
Vehicle Scouting
We find this mount delivers rock-solid suction and stability for vehicle-based scouting, which is ideal when we’re running cameras from trucks or enclosed blinds. It’s easy to install and durable in normal field use, though a few models may require minor fitting adjustments to lock perfectly.
Wide Compatibility
We appreciate the versatility and accessory kit for adapting mounts to different cameras while scouting, but the build quality is uneven and some units have suction reliability issues overnight. It’s a useful, budget-friendly option if you plan to use adhesive pads and check attachments regularly during hunts.

Design & Build: Which Mount Survives the Backcountry?
We demand mounts that shrug off mud, cold, heat, and long blinds. Here we break down materials, joint design, and suction geometry for the Glucrean replacement suction/screen mount and the QveeQ multi-point suction system through a hunter’s lens.
Glucrean — simple, beefy, and redundant
The Glucrean uses a stout, single-suction cup with a deep bell geometry and a rotatable plastic head. Seller claims it held 9 pounds in tests — that aggressive cup profile and thick rubber gasket give us confidence in cold mornings and bumpy ATV rides. Joints are mostly reinforced plastic; no exposed metal pivots to rust, but that means repeated tightening can wear plastic threads over seasons. Two removable mounts are a real win for redundancy on week-long sits.
QveeQ — flexible fit, more pieces to manage
QveeQ wins on compatibility: a multi-hole plate (16 positions) and a shallower suction cup. Body parts are thinner plastic; pivots are plastic pins that can feel loose after heavy re‑rigging. The included adhesive discs and alcohol wipes improve initial hold — especially on treated blind windows — but adhesives can become brittle in deep freeze and unclear in high UV unless swapped periodically.

Compatibility & Ease of Setup: Mounting Our Gear Fast
Time in the stand is precious, so we prioritize mounts that get cameras up fast with minimal tools. Here’s how each one performs when we repurpose dash cams for scouting, truck rigs, ATVs, or temporary scrape setups.
Glucrean — swap between vehicles and ground rigs in seconds
We like that the Glucrean mounts come in a removable pair: peel, press, lock, and you’re filming. The deep single suction grips curved windshields and smooth ATV plastics well; the rotatable head and larger knob on the joint make angle adjustments quick even with gloves. Fit is spot-on for APEMAN and most compact trail-cam housings, though on some odd-shaped cases we nudge a retention tab. No adhesive means fast detach with minimal residue — ideal for a late-night farm pull-and-redeploy.
QveeQ — ultra‑configurable but needs prep time
QveeQ shines on compatibility: the 16 mounting points handle odd case sizes and let us offset a camera around a rearview mirror. That flexibility helps on uneven glass, but the shallower cup can struggle on heavy curvature. Setup requires cleaning with the included wet/dry wipes and sticking the adhesive pad — note the vendor’s six-hour cure recommendation. The small plastic fasteners are fiddly with cold gloves; adhesives are strong but may need replacement for repeated temporary installs.
Quick how-to & hunter notes
Glucrean saves the most time in the field; QveeQ rewards pre-hunt prep with greater positional flexibility.
Field Performance: Stability, Vibration, and Weatherproofing
Real-world stability on gravel and highway
Out on logging roads we found the Glucrean’s single deep suction stayed locked far better at speed — the manufacturer’s “9‑pound” claim isn’t bragging: it held our APEMAN tight in a bouncy pickup where lesser cups would list. QveeQ’s multi-point approach gave flexible mounting options, but on some heavily curved windscreens the shallower cup and light plastic body allowed momentary shifts until the adhesive pad fully cured.
Vibration transfer and bounce on potholes
Glucrean’s larger cup and stiffer joint transmitted less high‑frequency shake to the sensor; footage showed fewer micro‑jiggles on washboard. QveeQ produced slightly more torsional wobble on rough backroads — acceptable for scouting, but we saw extra blur on long, high‑speed runs. Both survived single pothole hits without detaching; Glucrean simply settled faster.
Heat, frost, and water shedding
In warm sun the Glucrean began to creep after prolonged exposure (no explicit UV rating), so we park in shade where possible. QveeQ’s adhesive pads hold after proper cure time and tolerate rain well, but can soften in extreme heat. Below freezing, both suction cups can lose bite if the cup edge or glass has frost — warming the cup or glass first restores seal. Rain beads off both mounts; adhesive discs stayed put.
Stealth, noise, and overnight holds
Glucrean’s matte finish is low‑profile and silent; QveeQ’s small clips can tick when a vehicle door shuts or wind tugs. Overnight, Glucrean was more likely to hold consistent framing for 12–24 hours; QveeQ needed occasional retightening in variable temps.
We recommend the following quick field fixes and maintenance:
Value & Hunter-Specific Use Cases: Which Mount Wins for Our Pack?
Cost-per-mount & what’s in the box
Both kits list for about $8. Glucrean ships two full suction mounts — effectively ~$4 per mount — which is great when we outfit two trucks or keep a spare. QveeQ is a single mount but includes 3 double‑sided adhesive discs and wet/dry wipes, so you get consumables for semi‑permanent installs out of the box.
Replacement-part math over a season
Expect to spend roughly $5–$15 a year on adhesives/pads or a single replacement cup. QveeQ lowers short‑term cost because it bundles tapes/wipes; Glucrean’s simple cup is rugged and usually only needs replacing if it tears, which runs about $6–$12. Overall, Glucrean has lower recurring cost if you swap mounts often; QveeQ costs less for long runs where adhesive holds.
Mount-to-hunter mapping
Long‑term value & support
We value durability and simple parts. Glucrean’s beefier cup and spare included make it the better long‑term pick for mobile hunters. QveeQ wins where adhesive support and multiple mounting configurations matter. Both are easy to replace via Amazon listings; expect manufacturer support to be basic.
Multi‑use scenarios & our buy calls
Both work on game cameras, spotting scopes, or temporary treestand rigs (adhesives for permanence, suction for temporary). For tight budgets and mobile use buy Glucrean; for permanent windshield rigs or DIY adhesive mounting buy QveeQ.

Final Verdict: The Hunter’s Pick
We pick the Glucrean suction-first setup as our winner for most deer hunters — its sturdy suction, quick camera swaps and redundancy win on stand days and mobile sits. As experienced trail-camera hands we trust the Glucrean for fast repositioning, quiet installs and reliability when time and stealth matter.
That said, bring the QveeQ when you plan long-range scouting in rough terrain: its multi-point anchors, extra adhesive tapes and prep wipes are a boon for extended placements. Final tip: prioritize stealth over flash — favor low-profile mounts, use the QveeQ adhesives for permanent spots, or keep a Glucrean for quick, budget-friendly swaps. We recommend starting with one mount and field-testing.

Pro tip: if you want the convenience of suction but the permanence of tape, get a two-mount setup — suction for travel, adhesive for daily driver. Both are cheap enough these days.
Solid strategy and aligns with what we recommend for flexibility and reliability.
Two mounts = twice the clutter but worth it imo.
Can confirm — saves money and time switching cams between cars.
Quick question: the QveeQ kit comes with glue double sided tapes — are those reliable for rear dash mounting (on textured plastic)? I tried cheap tapes before and they peeled off after a week.
Good point, Marcus. In our tests the QveeQ tapes worked best on smooth, clean surfaces. For textured dashboards we recommended adhesive discs or a suction solution instead.
I’m with Marcus — tapes melted a little on my dashboard during summer. Suction cups with a sticky gel pad worked better for me.
If the surface is textured, tapes are hit-or-miss. Use the wipes they include and press for a full minute, then let it set for 24h. Still might fail in heat though.
Nice comparison — I actually swapped my APEMAN mount for a Glucrean clone last month. Pros: way easier to reposition and the suction is solid on my windshield. Cons: the plastic feels a bit cheaper than the original APEMAN. Worth the price if you want flexibility.
Thanks for the firsthand insight, Emma. Which APEMAN model did you have originally? Curious if the fit varies by camera size.
I have the APEMAN H55 — agreed on the plastic feel. But the suction on the Glucrean held through a hot August day for me.
Bought the QveeQ mainly because it included 3 tapes and extra wipes — figured better to have spares. Installation was a breeze, and the 16-point compatibility list was accurate for my Crosstour.
Yeah the extra tapes are the selling point for me too. One tape for trials, two backups for when the car gets warm or you switch spots.
Good practical take — spare tapes reduce the anxiety of messing up the first placement.
I’m surprisingly entertained that we have a whole thread about sticky tape 😂
Anyway, the QveeQ bundle including wipes is clutch. The wipes actually help a lot to prep the spot — I felt it made the tape adhere better. Still, if you park in direct sun a lot, test first!
Ha — tape fandom lives on. Good tip about the wipes; they remove oils that cause adhesion failures.
Agreed. Wipes + 24 hour cure time = much better hold. Don’t skip that step.
Also consider the 3M VHB alternatives if you need something industrial-grade.
Longer write because I’m obsessive about dash cams lol:
I tried both types — Glucrean suction mounts and the QveeQ tape system. The Glucrean was super easy to move between cars and reattach; never lost suction. QveeQ was sturdier for long-term fixed installs because of the adhesive but I worried about paint/finish when removing.
If you rent cars or switch, go suction. If you want a permanent, low-vibration install, the adhesive route (QveeQ) won’t move. Just prepare for potential residue when removing.
This is exactly my experience too. I keep a suction mount for rental cars and a permanent adhesive on my daily driver.
Great detailed note, Daniel — that tradeoff (portability vs permanence) was one of our main takeaways as well.
Any tips for removing adhesive residue without damaging dash trim? Goo Gone worked for me but I was nervous at first.
Random thought: anyone tried sticking the adhesive on a small flat plastic disk first, then sticking the disk to a textured dash? Might give a smooth surface without drilling. Might be worth testing 🤔
Nice idea! Saved for later.
Be mindful of visibility and legal rules in your area about obstructing windshield view.
That’s a clever hack — adhesive to a mounting disc can create a reliable, removable interface. We tested similar solutions with mixed results depending on adhesive quality.
I did that with a 3M disc and it was great. No direct residue on the dash and very stable.
I want a mount that can survive winter. Anyone tested these in cold temps? My suction cups always get brittle in freezing weather.
Glucrean held up okay in my winter commute, but I live in a mild zone. For extreme cold I used adhesive and it didn’t budge, though removal was harder in cold.
Tip: warm the suction cup with your hands for a minute before installing in cold temps — helps seal.
We saw suction performance dip below -10°C in lab tests. Adhesive mounts maintain hold better in extreme cold but become more permanent.
Short & blunt: Glucrean = convenience. QveeQ = permanence. Pick your poison. 😂
In our sample pricing the Glucrean was slightly cheaper, but prices fluctuate by seller — watch shipping and bundle discounts.
Love the phrasing. Which one was cheaper though? Price often decides it for me.
