Fidlock VACUUM Turn Base
Best secure mounting solution for cyclists using existing computer mounts.
The Fidlock VACUUM Turn Base offers a unique and secure mounting solution by combining magnetic guidance with powerful vacuum pressure. This system ensures your phone stays locked in place, even against strong impacts, as the suction power is continuously guaranteed by the magnetic centering. Designed for easy one-handed operation, the mount allows for 360° rotation, which is then locked by a ratchet to prevent unwanted movement during use. This base is specifically designed to integrate with bike mounts featuring Garmin, Wahoo, or Sigma bayonet fittings. It ensures no interference with device electronics and is compatible with all VACUUM smartphone cases or patches.
