    What are the best car mounts are based on where you want to put it. Out of all the car mounts that I’ve used, my personally favourites are the magnetic mounts because of how easy they are to use.
    I’ve spent a couple of months of using different car mounts, in different cars and I’ve broken down the areas into following.
    1. Driver side window
    2. Rear view mirror/ center dash
    3. Vents
    4. Console
    5. Cup Holder
    I won’t really focus on a specific brand most of these car mounts because nobody really does anything special (vent mounts are a dime a dozen).
    5 - Cup Holders
    I didn’t think you could mount your device in a cup holder but I found this GearBeast mount on Amazon. The idea intrigue me so I bought one and immediately regretted it. Out of all the cars I’ve sat in, I could not find a comfortable place to mount my device. On my car, the car mounts get in the way of the gear shifter which is pretty important in the operation of my manual transmission vehicle.
    All things considered...WHY?
    4 - Console
    From my experience, most of the products that suggest mounting it on your console are products that come with integrated magnets. Products like the Nodus Leather case, Nite Ize and Magbaks would fall into this category. My biggest issue with mounting it on your console is that you’re going to cover something up.
    The other problem is that mounting it on the console seems to take away from the general design of the console.
    Also, removing semi permanent mounts is a pain in the butt.
    The only benefit of having it on your console that I can think of is that there is almost no chance that your device is going to overheat on a warm day which may happen with mounting it on the windshield. I'd personally go with a Nite Ize Steelie mount for my console.
    3 - Rear view mirror/Central Dash
    I see a lot of devices being mounted in this general area and for good reason. It’s out of the way of the console, doesn’t require much effort to check and the screen can be viewed generally by anybody in the vehicle. If you are planning on getting a mount for this location, I would suggest getting one with a longer or extendable arm.
    I’m not a big fan of the rear view mirror/central dash setup because it’s a little distracting. I don’t like how there is something in the middle of the windshield that adds to my sight line as I try to avoid pedestrian who don’t look both ways before crossing. It gets worse with the bigger devices.
    2 - Vent/CD Mounts
    Vent/CD Mounts are the best for people who don’t need to have their devices mounted in their cars all the time. Like the rear view mirror/central dash, I’d go with a magnetic vent mount. And get the one where the mount has a joint to allow you to turn your device towards you. The iFace magnetic mount is one that I’ve been using.
    My only issue with these mounts is that you’re blocking an actual vent. This might not be an issue in a place where the weather is mild but I live in a place where snow and cold weather exists for 4-5 months out of a year so heat is very important to me. Losing a vent is a big deal. Also, with vent mounts, you’ll increase the chance that your iPhone is going to overheat.
    1 - Driver side windshield
    This is my preferred location for my device. It’s out of the way and I can still keep track of directions or monitor potential phone calls.
    The only reasons why I wouldn’t keep it here is if the setup would block a vent or if your device is way too big to fit in landscape mode. An iPhone 7 Plus in an iFace mount in Landscape mode is comically too large.
    It is a tight spot so using a larger mount like the RAM mount might not work as well.

    This is the best way to Remove the magnetic mount and disc:
    1.Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help break the adhesive bond.
    2. carefully use a fishing line or dental floss in a sawing motion to cut the foam away.
    3. wipe away any adhesive without leaving any marks.

    Love the review and the pros and cons of devices and positions. I often had to drive rapid response vehicles and found the Quad Lock Car Mount in the driver side of the screen to be most secure and unobtrusive; the downside is it means only being able to use it with a Quad Lock phone case but it works well with my iPhone 6S Plus both in landscape and portrait rotation.

Yes driving slow is helpful but so is pulling over because I’m really nauseated now. But thanks for the help.

    By far my favorite mount to date was a magnetic mount that clamped into the CD player slot (I think it was an Aduro)! My newer Ford truck doesn’t have a CD player at all so now I’m looking for other options.... I think the WeatherTech CupPhone would probably work perfectly since my truck has 4 cupholders but I’m not paying $45!

  • @ScottSchapiro
    @ScottSchapiro 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Just saw this video and wanted to add that you can take the iOttie mount and remove the mechanical grabber and then take a magnetic mount from another product and attach it to the iOttie mount as they tend to use the same sized ball-mount. This offers the best of both worlds, the superior flexibility and positioning of the iOttie along with the convenience of a magnetic attachment.

    I made my own mount based on the ProClip for my car. Use Velcro as the "holder/cradle". Custom made the mount to be at correct angle and height for me. Top of phone is at line of sight to base of windshield so it is easy to see without blocking the view. Angle is toward driver and up toward roof enough to not get rear window glare. Closest thing to it in the video, location wise, would be vent clip mount. But a little higher.

    Great video. I’m with you with the drive side mount. Only draw backs are, it’s harder to charge phone on that side. Wires all over steering wheel. The other is the majority of people are right handed, on this side of the Atlantic. It is definitely better for not blocking windshield view. Lastly, move to a place where you don’t have to worry about your car vent overheating your phone.

  • @brooklynny173
    @brooklynny173 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I have one that clips on the vent. I don't have to worry about overheating from using the heater since the heat is coming from the bottom of the car. I always set it that way because I don't like heat going to my face. During the summer, it will keep my phone cool when using the AC.

    @sefikraemer3806 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A good review. There a few unclear points: 1. how do you get power cord to the (1) position? 2. how strong are the vent mounts? I had one and it did not hold even itself. 3. cd mounts tend to get in the way of the radio/multimedia/climate knobs, and if you need to use the phone you really have to take your eyes off the road. what is your opinion of that?

    • @MobileReviewsEh
      @MobileReviewsEh  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      1. A long cable from adapter. I forgot to mention in the video that I don't mount my devices for long periods of time. Even if I am navigating, the screen is usually blacked off since I have an apple watch.
      2. The Vent mounts will different based on the magnet. Neodynaim ones are the strongest?
      3. That's dependant on the console design and the depth of the mount.

    I mount mine on my visor, held in place with two strong hair elastics. And then film with a fisheye or wide angle lens attachment so that I don't look like my forehead is touching the lens lol. Gerry-rigged af but works well and holds steady. Also ensures phone is mounted high enough to film me at a flattering angle! Lol!

    Just a warning, mounting it on the driver side puts it in the way of the side impact air bags - so you may launch your phone + mount pieces around the cabin if your airbag goes off.

      @Brandon Lewis Woodard No consumer is personally equipped to repeatedly crash cars to find the most safe location for a car mount. It is, however, possible that the US NTSB has encountered this situation often enough to have data ready for analysis. Whether or not someone has done that yet is another story.

    • @dsample
      @dsample 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Don't forget about generally having a lump of metal and glass flying around your car if/when you have an accident.
      We've completely disregarded all magnetic holders for that reason, and we don't even like the idea of having a suction or vent mount for the same reason.
      The only ones we've found that have a more built-in feel are Brodit mounts. Designed for specific positions in each model of car so that they're securely mounted.

      @TheEric1203 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Would that really be a concern here? Even if mounted on the driver's side, it can still sit pretty far forward toward the dash such that your head would still either hit the curtain or steering wheel airbags before coming in contact with the phone

      The one he was using initially when he introduced the drive side window category, it was the Magic Mount. I just picked one up, comes with 2 magnets that stick on to your device (and like he mentioned in the video is SUPER sticky). Comes with a small patch for smaller devices and a big patch for bigger devices. I have the small one on my Nexus 6p phone underneath the case, and the bigger patch on the bare plastic back of my LG G Pad III 8" tablet which is much heavier bit still works perfect. I'm a delivery driver so I drive jerky and aggressive when it's busy like today, and the tablet didn't fall off once.

So, I've been online checking out what's out there for the past half hour and I can't believe how many different kinds there are, and the prices are all over the place. I just happened upon this video and wanted to say thanks for being so thorough with your research - the information you provided was very complete. The pros and cons you shared were especially helpful for me, as was your insight about each of the mounts you discussed. This is going to be the most informed decision/purchase I've made in a long time. Thanks again.

    PEOPLE!
    Consider road safety before anything else.
    Do not mount ANYTHING where it will block even a tiny part of your forwards vision. You could end up killing a pedestrian or cyclist/motorcyclist.
    COME ON CAR MANUFACTURERS!!!!!!!!!
    The biggest fault here is that car designers are not including phone holder locations into their interiors. If one or two special areas were built in, like the driver's door pillar and the center dash near the steering wheel, everyone would be happy and safe.
    ROFL! My 19 year old Peogeot 306 HAS NO CUP HOLDER!!! Stone age motoring!

    I use the vent mount and to avoid it from sliding down I put my building's key ring token into the lowest hole of the vent. (I just use the navigation rarely, when travelling outside town.) One important pro of this is that it's closer to you than a windshield mount and you can easily report Waze hazzards. Thanks for the video!
