ProClip Car Mount (video)

[URPREY]

I recently got my powered ProClip car mount for my Thunderbolt, and I posted a video of it on YouTube. Here it is in case you're wondering whether this is the right car mount for you.

looks nice but the Verizon mount only costs 33.00 on amazon

not talking bad about the mount Proclip, just saying the Verizon one is good and cheaper and with gas prices... well you know

Agreed. It's actually only $29.99 at the VZW store. However, the OEM mount doesn't allow for an extended battery, and the phone recognizes the charger as USB so it's hella slow when charging. It's an alternative, but not a good one - I returned mine.

Slow charging

Thats one of the biggest Problem the thing with the horrible slow chargingtimes. When i want to charge my phone and i dont have much time lets say about 15 minutes and i charge it i want at least 10 percent battery and not just 1 =)

That's a function of the charger you use, not the mount. The mount just does a passthrough.

agreed, my mini-usb charger just charges. plus i looked at the location for the Scion TC from proClip and it is in a very bad spot. you have to look down to see where your going.

i got this sand bag sand, that has a flat plastic area, the VZW stand sticks to it like champion, plus that stand i got from big-o-lots for $10, it does not move or vibrate. I'll up load a pic of it later.

The charger i used works fine when plugged directly into the phone and it recognizes it as an ac charger. However, when using as a pass through with the iGrip dock it didn't work/showed as USB. Ymmv.

i got a question for ya..

i already have the car mount and i just suction cup whatever i use to it. on the mount for the phone that has the 4 screw holes.. is that attached to the rest of the mount via a tilt/swivel ball joint?

cuz what id do is attach a ball mount suction cup to the TB mount and then obviously suction cup it to the car mount. no screwing anything in and it allows you to use one car mount for almost every device u have.

Nevermind, I just realized this link is the same product as the retail Verizon sells.

looks cool but pretty expensive for both pieces. probably gonna go with that amazon deal on the suction mount for now

ok so after watching this video I had to try this product out. I have a Arkon with charger now, the only I don't like about the Arkon is that it is a charger with the phone holder attached. So it does wiggle a little when driving. I bought the proclip last week and got it on Saturday. Let me say it is night and day difference from the Arkon. It is solid and doesn't wiggle when driving. If you have the money I would say go for it.

Will this work with a Verizon skin?

i have the case mate barely there and it works with that. I also have the case and clip from bestbuy which does not work.

Don't think I noticed this in your video but can this mount turn the phone landscape?

I can never get the suction cup to stay on in this South Texas heat.

Yes it can.

Any way to set up this clip with a suction cup to mount to the windshield? Have the Droid 1 VZW dock and a factory Garmin nuvi 200 mount sitting around.

They sell several different adapters. If your mount would work with one of these then it should be fine.

DIY "proclip" style mount for $10 total

Thought you guys might want to see this. Much cheaper than proclip and just as effective.

Nice video!

Is the aux-in hole sized large enough to accommodate larger audio cables comfortably?
