Best Iphone Dash/Windscreen mount?

ZXSpectrum · 7 Jun 2013 at 13:13

Hi all, I am looking for a new dash/windscreen mount for my iphone 4S. I use my phone in conjunction with eye witness driving app as a dash cam. I have tried several cheapo mounts from ebay/amazon etc. but they seem to work fine for a bit then normally fall to bits or just become loose. So any recommendations? As stated I use as a dash cam so some sort of vibration dampening would be good.

Osomount. They're a suction cup based series of mounts with a gel-like surround around the cup. I've been using their dashgrip every day on my commute for a few months, plus some longer journeys. It's stuck to slightly textured dashboards fine in a Honda Insight, Seat Leon and Ford Fiesta that I've tried. You need to have a fairly flat spot on the dashboard for it to work. Just needs to have both the mount and dashboard be kept clean and give the suction cup the occasional rinse with water to stay working properly.

Awesome... Looks great. Which one do you have? The U Grip and the EX one looks good as does the 360?

Mine is just called a Dash Grip. You may need to scroll to the right through the products to see it.

iBolt seem to be the devices I hear about when asking that same question.

I have one of these, although it was called a Montar mount. It's really good and holds the phone really well (I have a Note 2) It's solid once mounted. I got mine from ebay for £15.99 delivered from Israel.

I got an OSOmount recently, seems to be brilliant so far. I was somewhat suspicious of spending £19 on a phone mount (my previous one was a £2.50 ebay one) but it genuinely seems to be worth the money.

I use the Navigon car mount for my 4s. Tried a few, most were naff. Really happy with this one, nice and stable, no vibes.

I got an OSOmount Dashgrip recently and it's bloomin' great. I actually ordered the Spacemount (the older version) but the order system went cuckoo so they sent me this one instead to say sorry. Very impressed with it so far.
