This is a very well designed and effective smartphone dashboard mount. The mount is sturdy and made out of quality materials. It features several adjustable hinges and rotation mounts that make it the most adjustable smartphone mount that I have come across.

I’ve got to use this mount for a few weeks, and so far I am really impressed by it. The one touch spring-loaded phone attachment mechanism at first didn’t seem like such a big deal, but after using it for a while I think this is one of the biggest innovations with the dashboard/windshield smartphone mounts that I’ve come across. Attaching my phone or a stand-alone GPS device has always involved quite a bit of fiddling, but with this mount all of that is finally over. All you have to do is press the mount on the sides, which opens it up, and then place the phone in its cradle and then – voila! – the spring-loaded arms snatch into place and hold your phone tightly and securely.

One of the features of this mount that I value the most is its suction cup. It’s probably the strongest adhesive mounting that I have come across in any of the mounts I’ve tried over the years. The combination of a sticky surface and the strong suction lever ensure that this mount will remain firmly attached even during an extended period of use, and through many sharp accelerations and decelerations.

The mounting attachment can rotate through 360 degrees in its plane, and it can also tilt through a decent range out of its plane. This allows for a very wide range of viewing angles. Unfortunately, changing the viewing angle cannot be accomplished with a simple one-handed action, but requires a little bit more of fiddling. I would definitely not recommend doing so while driving.

I have tested this mount with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5S, and Galaxy S3 phones. It worked really well with all of them. I have also used it to mount an old radar detector, but since its horizontal tilting is rather limited, it was not well suited for this purpose. I had also tried to mount an old Garmin 5.5″ GPS unit, but the mount was too small for that device.

This is a great and affordable product which I would recommend to anyone looking for a simple and effective way of mounting a smartphone for in-car navigation purposes. It can also be used for mounting the smartphone at your desk, or for many other similar uses. I intend to use it as a makeshift “tripod” for some small product videography.
