[Andy_con]

as title really?

I thought there was already a thread about this but I couldn't find it.

what phone holders and setups do people use in their cars? (photos welcome)

RAM RAM-B-166-UN7U
Ugly as fook....bomb proof, and due to contruction takes a lot of different phones.
also comes in handy used as a track cam

I spent lots of time and money finding the right holder over the years and finally got this which is brilliant, had it 2 years and still going strong.

I wedge it so far between my legs that if i breathe in too quickly it might end up inside me. Nice to get a phone call though

I've been using this one for the past 18 months or so . It's never come loose from the window once in all that time , unlike other suction holders I've had over the years .

I use this little bad boy, never let me down and no annoying clipping in and adjustment needed.

Stuck on with double sided adhesive pads , the ones you use for number plates.

I've had a few windscreen mounts before and all were trash. This is stable as a rock but doesn't trasmit vibrations if you wanted to use it for filming either.

Couple it with a long braided cable of your choosing from eBay and you're sorted.

Brodit Proclip and a Griffin Powerjolt. Perfect.

Oh no, even cheaper..

I'm using a brodit proclip with the inbuilt charger. Just ran it through the dash and piggybacked off the cig lighter.

not sure i actually get what that is?

 

[welshname]

The brodit proclip is a specific setup that you get based on what car and what phone you have.

The clip is based on the car
The holder is based on the phone.

You can get the holders with no charger, a cigarette lighter style one or with bare wires that you can hardwire into your car.

Brodit active powered holder for the phone i have at the time plus a proclip to mount it .

always had them , solid reliable and does not mean your phone runs flat .

100% spot on

 

[Andy_con]

but how does the phone attached, it just seems to be a blank flat face?

[Andy_con]

yes , which means if you change phones you only change the front part .

i have them in all my cars and having had various phone kits for over 20 years this is the best soloution ,

Going to give this a try myself. Though i've bought the vent mounted version that is £5.99. I've also ordered the brodit pro clip as i hate using suction mounts.

Idea is that i'll fix the brodit clip in place and then remove the vent mounting clips on the back of the phone holded and screw in to the brodit clip.

Always used Brodit phone holders, but they don't make one for the Redmi Note 3, and the universal ones look to big and chunky.

find out what thats a copy of , looks very much like an old samsung , in which case that mount will work from brodit .

 

[Darryl_1983]

The phone or the holder?
The phone isn't a copy of anything, design my be similar, but then pretty much all phones are similar in design.

Looks like a Samsung chassis hence good chance it would fit s samsung chassisc

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003O1V5CY/?tag=cliospnet01-21 use these, one in work van, one in car, push into vents. mould around phone, slide phone in and out without having to touch mount.

I wanted to do that....then I saw the price for the S7 holder....I bought the whole RAM mount for less

You get what you pay for in my experience

Is the ram mount powered ?

 

[CrippsCorner]

Another Brodit user here superb stuff!

 

[welshname]

One of mine fitted. There are two different pro clips you can get for the mk3 but I much prefer this one

 

[sabian92]

I've got one of those Brodit Proclip things as well. Only issue is that it blocks a vent. It's a cracking mount though, although I noticed yesterday it had pulled half my centre console clips off on one side!

I've got one of these too (https://www.anker.com/products/A2312011). Charges almost like it's on a wall plug although now it's a bit older, it's perfect considering I use my phone as a sat nav. I've got iPods plugged in, I've had a Nintendo DS charged from it, all sorts, always been spot on.

I highly recommend Anker stuff - bit more expensive but definitely worth it. I've got their USB cables, car chargers, portable batteries, wall plugs... never let me down.

Kenu Airframe+, Anker charger, Google Maps and TomTom Speed Camera app = Perfect.
