Must be able to rotate into landscape mode for my satnav and fit a number of different vents. My current phone is a vintage steam powered Samsung S4 but my wife has an iphone and I'm likely to get something different soon.

So...

* Vent mount.
* Must fit lots of different cars.
* Generic mount for different phones.
* Must rotate to landscape.

Any recommendations or are they all pretty much the same?

Thank you.
 
The Kenu is the one to go for, if it works with your vents. Some of them (certain round ones for example) aren't compatible.
 
I have a Kenu airframe+ (the + is for the larger phablet phones, but it'll also hold the likes of a standard iphone) Use it on my car with those dodgy circular vents, despite what you might hear it does fit. Holds the phone surprisingly well.

One thing to remember with vent clips, if you have the heating pumping out the vent, your phone will be right in the eye of the storm!

+3 for the Kenu (as I have one in each car) :D

As above - it's worth closing the vent that you have this attached to as if you are using it for something like Nav that gets it warm, if it has a heater blowing on it as well it doesn't do the phone any good!
 
...if you can - with my vents closing them means the mount won't fit!

Not a problem in summer though as the aircon keeps the phone cool. You can also position the handset quite far down so as to be mostly out the way
 
I bought a Belkin one from Amazon earlier this year, effectively the same sort of thing as the Kenu ones. Worked well for what I needed it for.
