Know before you buy
Yes, the spring-loaded X-Grip design is built to expand, allowing it to securely hold most smartphones even when they are inside a protective case.
This mount requires a pre-existing 3/8"-16 threaded hole or a compatible mounting surface to screw into. It is designed for a permanent, secure installation rather than a suction-cup style attachment.
Absolutely. The patented 1-inch rubber ball and socket system allows you to easily pivot and rotate your device to your preferred viewing angle in either orientation.
The included tether is recommended for outdoor or high-vibration environments to provide an extra layer of security. For standard daily driving on smooth roads, the spring-loaded grip is typically sufficient on its own.
The short arm minimizes the distance between the mounting base and your device, which helps reduce vibration and keeps your phone closer to the mounting point for a more compact setup.
