There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've tried various types of mounts: the vent mount and the beanbag mount. The vent clips had a tenacious attachment to the vent fins. Even the smallest beanbag mount was cumbersome.
This gooseneck unit is small enough to take with me or stuff into the glove compartment when not in use. It comes with the gooseneck mount, a 3" mounting disk, and one alcohol prep pad.
From the photo, I thought this was going to be "flexible" as in the wimpy sort of flexible on my gooseneck desk lamps. When I tried to flex it, it felt practically unbendable. I thought Arkon made a mistake and put a normal straight steel rod inside.
Then I read the directions. You have to use both hands to bend the inner rod in the tube. After you mount this to the windshield, you cannot rebend the gooseneck easily with one hand. And that's a good thing because the rigidity keeps it from bouncing. You can make horizontal adjustments by loosening the nut. The suction cup has plenty of suction at 2-3/4" in diameter, compared to the Garmin's 2-1/4".
Now I can actually reach the GPS screen, and it's at proper eye level. Excellent little device.
This extension is very stiff, it has to be that way for stabilization, but it still can bounce around a little. One must be aware of this, but there is a cure. Lower the Garmin to allow at least one lower corner to rest or just touch the dash. This will stabilize the unit completely. This you'll have to plan for this and not have it completely suspended.

Höhe 20cm, so gibt es auch raum darunter für andere Sachen.
Le support d'origine plaçait le GPS trop loin pour le manipuler aisément.
Ce support permet d'avoir un écart de 20cm entre la ventouse (pare brise) et le GPS et il est orientable à souhait.
