Need to mount your smartphone in your car in a pinch? Donald Bell has a DIY solution that takes only a few minutes to assemble and requires just a handful of materials that are probably right in front of you now. - บันเทิง
Good grief people. Although everyone has a right to their own opinion, can't you just say THANKS for sharing the idea? If you were going to comment 'just buy one', why are you watching a DIY option for a mount? This is good in a pinch for those who need to travel last minute for work. But it sounds like most folk here probably don't travel for work and don't know how difficult it can be when the adhesive no longer works in multiple rental cars or the air vents are different in each one, and better yet when you're just trying to return the rental car and book it to the terminal to catch your flight and forget your mount. Yeah, a $5 mount is nothing when it's just in your personal car and stationary. Try moving it to multiple cars and maybe forgetting it a few times, it'll add up with re-purchase. Just say thanks people.
You can also place a microfiber towel or paper towel when bending the clip arms to avoid scuffing the rubberized coating off of the arms. This is an awesome idea!! And I love the last comment in the video, “I practically stole all the materials..”. 😂😂😂
If my dad sent me to the tool box for a wrench and I came back with PLIERS, like this guy has, I’d be slapped into next week. Sheeesh!!! Obviously this guy is an office jockey. None the less it’s a pretty good idea!! Thanks!!
AWESOME! 👏🏽 my dad was planning on buying one of these holders, but then I sent him this video and now he’s REALLY considering to do it. He changed his mind really quickly 😂😂
10 year and still car dont come with phone holder
But some still come with cigarettes lighter
WOW!!!! Thanks for sharing. The cell car mount I got keeps falling from the windshield 😭. This is 100% better, perfection!
Once again, thanks!
Hard to believe this guy has ever used a wrench before.
AWSOME IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GONNA DO JUST THAT,for 2 or 3 phones; best idea i´ve seen for these!!!!!!!!thanks
This is such a great idea. I am going to make one now. thanks alot#!
awesome I'm going to try it
That is so awesome!
An excellent useful idea I ever found. Many thanks.
That is so cool! I got to go try this right now!

Hey loved the idea.. Just great diy project.. Can u guys make a video about diy HUD display.. Thanks
wow really liked this solution, which is not only pretty much free but will probably work just as well.
Great Job. Congratulations.
Great idea and looks easy
An idea if you only have regular binder clips: cut the end off some paracord and use the sleeve the cover the arms after you pull the strings out
Thanks, very creative, I’ll try it tomorrow.
Smart and simple. thanks.
Excellent. Thank you.
Fantastic idea!
Thankyou. Very usefull. Save me some bucks 😄😄
The rubberized handles are called "soft-grip". Search using that term!
Nice video, it actually doesn't look to bad when finished.
Wow great hack ..!

I wish I had seen this video a couple of weeks ago before I spent $39 on the Niteize Steelie with the vent clip & magnetic ball!!!! 😩 New handsfree laws all over the country...people need to get a solution...quick. New Georgia law starts July 1, 2018!!!
Great one thank u
Thank u!!!
o melhor vídeo que assisti
parabéns!
Very clever for rental cars thank you 😊
Wow man! you're gr8
nice aveo!
Does it have warranty
Thanks brother
Where can I get Plasta-bands like the one Donald used at 1:46?
What's the size of the clip???
Super cool👍👍
Awesome !
OMG... THANK U!!!
nice trick mate... :)
Does it go with small paper clip
Thanks a lot
Spends hundreds of dollars for the phone but go cheap on the mount. Makes all the sense in the world!
Merci pour le partage je vais essayer votre méthode
is it ok if you mounted in the ac?
Hey good job thanks
super helpful
Is that good for iPhone 6plus ??
One word... MAGNETS!!!
You heard it here everybody, CNET condones stealing office supplies for making car mounts! Just kidding, it's a good tip. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing hack...Show us More Cool Hacks.
where did you get your clip? Amazon and ebay bothe have thinner clip arms.
What is the clip size?
Ow thank you for this idea ... Now just prepare binder clips and rubber band while travelling with a rental car
nice job
Scosche majic mount 👌
wowwwww..very nyc thankd for sharing
It works for iPhone 11?
just what I was looking for, I'm fed up of buying car phone mounts only for them to break within a couple of months, more plastic into landfill, not good. Does anyone in the UK know where can get the bulldog clips with the plastic coating?
Wowwww now thats good one, now for a 10.1 inch tablet
All that trouble just so you won't pay 5$ for a special support that doesn't scratch the car
Clever
Will it scratch ur dashboard?
This is amazing I will do it for my wife car and mine.
Dear God, what kind of man doesn't know what a plier or wrench is.
Thanks
nice!
lmao. how big is the clip? I went to staples and got the largest clips.... which wont hold my Note. update - Ok It does fit my phone. but its hard to get enough pressure on the clip to open the clip. so that will take some wrestling.
Those are called pliers not wrenches Donald Bell
Thank You.
You'd think an "expert" would know the difference. Sheesh...
first one was a pair of pliers second was a pair of channel locks
ROFLOL
The tools that I need to make the stand will cost me more than buying an actual ready made stand.
Крутое видео:)
Русский - лайк ;)
Not bad but I use Blutac to secure my iphone7+ to my dashboard which is even simpler, cheaper and better looking again
that's cool😃
tnx very good
can you clip a galaxy note
Probably not. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, which is 5.5 inches and even with a large binder clip, it was just too big.
Some phone stands I bought are lame so I'm trying this and I'll have my husband make one for me. I'll probably hear a few f bombs from him while he is making it but its worth it!! Heheeee
Hope you understand : if your carry your expensive phone in a case - no need in rubberized clip. Use any clip you have.
you can call it 'Smartmount'
I’m stuck at the step where he says “grab your wrenches”
What if you're not an isheep and have a nicer bigger phone like the galaxy note?
