Default car holder for MDA compact III

Hello,

I wanted to get a car holder for my MDA Compact III,

do you guys recommend an air vent car holder or a windscreen mount phone holder?

Have a look at the Brodit range they do a nice holder active and passive and a number of options to hold the unit in your car. I use the Brodit and HR holders in my vehicle - have a read of http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/broditartemis.php for a few details - Mike

The write up contained Brodit products, only one part was the HR holder coupled to the Brodit Pro-Clip, you can see the three pictures using the HR Holder around the text -
"The HR mount is supplied with a flexible arm and windscreen suction cup, I much prefer the Brodit Pro clip as it provides a more stable mounting solution that is vibration free."
or read my post at this link http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/module...r=asc&start=51


Both Brodit and the HR units can be used with a winscreen holder or Pro clips, an edless choice of options depending on the vehicle and phone - Mike

thanks for the reply,

i am a bit confused as to how to select the car holder. i am a bit concerned as to if the car holder would fit the MDA copact III.

i checked in the t-mobile store and they are doing something for 10 pounds. the upside is if it does not fit, i can return it.
but then i be limited to a certain choice.

not sure if i should be going for something that attaches to the vents or something that sticks to the windscreen.

i came across this one
http://www.lhdigital.co.uk//product_...roducts_id=126

is there much between two holders?

Its quite a simple choice to be honest, are you happy to entrust a cheap £10 holder from the shop that can mount a mutitude of devices or get a specific holder that has a degree of quality about it?
I have a T-Mobile generic holder and its CR*P - I certainly wouldn't use it to hold a device worth around £400 - your choice - the position is down to what suits you and the style of mount/ Pro clip available for your car - or go with the cheap offerings and take a chance - Mike

thanks for the reply mike,

i think i will go with a nice decent holder.

i looked ath the herbert rickter mount in the post, and the verdict is that it vibrates.
would it be correct to say that all windscreen mounts vibrate?

i have been using the regular tomtom on the windscreen. so i am used to that.

does a pda on the air vent enable easy viewing for navigation purposes (i guess one gets used to it)

are all the herbert richter's the screen mounts.

what is pro clip?

Well I trust my device to a £3.50 flexible windscreen mount from ebay, and it works perfectly!

I've tried vent mounts, but they are generally rubbish - but it could be my vents! I've tried magnetic ones but they don't stick to my dash - it could be my dash! So far, the windscreen one has been perfect! Although it did wiggle about a bit until I 'adjusted' it by getting it to rest against the instrument console. Not a judder out of it now! and I highly recommend it and the £36.50 saving
