Best car mount holder?

[shayx]

hey guys what do you think is better a vent mount or a sticky one for the windshield?

i bought from eBay an air vent mount, didn't received it yet, anybody here got the chance to use it? is it any good?


plus, do you think mounting it on the vent and turning AC cooling on will damage the device? i think the opposite because it will cool the battery instead of baking in the sun with a windshield mount.

I have used two windscreen mounts.
Both was broken whilst I tried to adjust the angle of the phone after mounting it in the car.
they were both having a quality worser than a toy.

In a worst case scenario the phone might not get any or GPS signals.

I have used an airvent mount with a few of my other phones. One great advantage is the A/C keeps the phone cool when running the GPS.

you're absolutely right.
air vent mount is the best.
i bought one from eBay and very pleased with it!
very solid and the device gets a cool breeze

Also vent mounting gets me close to where I can stick a short unobtrusive lead into the aux of my audio unit .

vent mounts are too dangerous, if you break the vent your looking at spending a lot to get it fixed on your car, i prefer the exomount which is universal and sticks/ sucks to anything. You can even mount your tablet!

Windscreen mount is what I have. Works perfect and I travel so I take it with me! for under 10.00 and for 2.40 more you get 3 years warranty on it?! thats madness.

arkon car holder

try arkon slimgrip sm415

after doing a lot of research i found this one to be a good fit, you can access power button and volume button as well as rotate to different angles. Also comes with a handy plate to place on dash to attach to if you dont want to attach to windscreen (ie out of the way of view) It is universal so you can use it for other devices too!

If you're after windscreen suction mount, than Herbert Richter mounts are definitely worth every penny.

I had trouble finding a vent mount that fit my car as it had awkward vent shapes, I ended up going for a custom made Brodit Tilt Swivel holder that affixes to my dash, so now it sits in the perfect place and is adjustable, recommended.

It came in two parts, the custom made "arm" that fits to the dash, and the more generic holder that you fix to the arm.

Air vent is best.
And if it´s 35 degrees it´s cooling the device.

This might not be the best, but it's darn cheap and I've been happy with it for about 65 months! http://www.dealextreme.com/p/plasti...car-charger-for-htc-desire-hd-dc-12-24v-50845

The car charger sadly broke a while ago, but that is available without it also. I just ordered a universal usb charger and additional micro-usb cable to charge at car. Navigation consumes a f***-load of battery.

Definitely recommend Brodit mounts. Very solid and well made.

well an extra request from my front.
Been checking but might have not checked enough.

Is there a holder, preferably HR, with a speaker inside?

 

[JurieDHD]

Ive been using a CAPDASE Car Mount Holder and it seems to be pretty sturdy.
Would definately reccomend it.

I am also looking for a car mount. I will be going for air vent mount, due to temperatures and wont block the road. Can some one suggest good air vent mount ? I am also looking for car charger, which is best in terms of power delivery ? Is the HTC car charger CC C200 any good ? Or is there any special one for Desire HD from HTC ?
