I need two replacement magnetic wall mounts for my outdoor nest cameras. I see that other threads on this issue have been locked by the administrator, so I'm staring this new one. I can not find any place to purchase replacements (crazy). Please contact me to let me know how I can get two replacements. Thanks.

Unfortunately, Google Nest does not sell spare parts, but sometimes they provide replacement parts if your device is still under its 1-year warranty.

For everyone's reference, I will update this thread once I chat w/ customer service. But, I am concerned at the initial response "Unfortunately, Google Nest does not sell spare parts, but sometimes they provide replacement parts if your device is still under its 1-year warranty." My cameras are older than a year, and now I have a need for a different type of mount. Butt it sounds like Google is asking me to buy a whole new camera. This is crazy! Unless, I'm able to find spare parts, I'd recommend folks consider other camera brands that offer mounting accessories that can allow you to grow / change as your camera mounting needs change.

I'm just another customer who is baffled by the fact that Google Nest does NOT sell spare parts like its competitors, and was just trying to let you know what Google Nest does and doesn't do.
On this thread, one customer found a third party solution of sorts:

Follow up: I have pasted my chat with customer relations below. This is incredibly frustrating. I have $400+ dollars of Nest product that I cannot mount on my wall b/c Google does not sell replacement mounts. I suggest folks buying new security cameras purchase from a company who sells mounts separately. If I receive a follow up from customer service resolving the issue, I will update here.

Hi everyone - I'm not sure why this thread would be locked prior to resolution (that gives me cause for concern...and it seems like it would only exacerbate the issue of customers not being able to find answers to this problem). If this thread is left open, I will post my experience/resolution here. If the thread is locked, I will start a new thread to let everyone know the outcome. (Please click my username to find that new thread if necessary.)

FYI - My case has been resolved. The Google Nest Customer Care Team is shipping me replacement mounts. For that, I'm grateful. Hopefully, replacements will be available for purchase soon to avoid all of this back and forth. For now, I would suggest that anyone else needing replacements get in touch directly with the Google Nest Customer Care Team.
