This is a very well designed and effective smartphone dashboard mount. The mount is sturdy and made out of quality materials.

This mount features an easy one-touch mounting system. It means that once you extend one of its spring-loaded arms, inserting your smartphone is as easy as just putting it in its designated position. The mount’s arms snap into place and hold your iPhone securely. This is a very convenient way of mounting your phone – car’s windshield or dashboard are not the most accessible surfaces, and anything that helps with the task of mounting is really valuable. This one-touch system allows to mount your phone with just one hand.

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.
