mickmutante Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 This might be a silly question, but is there an off road cell phone car mount? I have never used one, so I have been looking a lot of those and I really do not know what to buy... Wich car mount do you use? Pros? Cons? Thanks.

CDN_S4 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Tons of options. I prefer any clamp style window mount. Just google search it and find something you like. The only advice I can give in terms of stuff to stay away from is vent clip mounts, those don't hold up off-road. And don't cheap out either because a good window suction mount needs to be solid, like a GoPro suction mount. I've had cheap ones and they just stopped working after a while. You could also consider cigarette lighter mounts, holds your phone and charges it. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/UNPAINTED-MOUNT-WITH-SUCTION-GRIP/dp/B006QRHZJK/ref=zg_bs_2407778011_33 or this: http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Charger-iPhone-Samsung-Smartphones/dp/B0177T3DO6/ref=sr_1_1?s=car&ie=UTF8&qid=1452735108&sr=1-1&keywords=cigarette+lighter+phone+mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawairish Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I use a specific bracket for a JK and a case+holster for my phone of choice. http://www.quadratec.com/products/17017_005.htm http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Seidio-Kickstand-Holster-Samsung/dp/B00PF9KIAS The bracket fits with a trivial amount of bending, mounts using a radio bracket bolt. I drill out the rivet on the holster and bolt it to the mount (I also retain the mechanism that allows it to rotate) using a small socket flathead bolt and nylock. Since the phone clips into the holster, it's not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawairish Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks! There are also a few mounts meant for bikes/motorcycles that use ram/ball mounts. The bracket I used allows for simple bolt on of those mounts, but I found those parts to be a little expensive and bulky. And if not cranked down, the phone will move when off-roading.
