    Hmmmm.... I wonder how they got it to stick to all of those embossed surfaces... False advertising?

    My Chihuahua read your report and she's happy I didn't get this to window mount her to the passenger side......:D

    Sorry to hear of your problems with this mount. I was really hoping it was going to be all that it looks to be, but based on your experience, I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on one.

    Adding another negative EXOGEAR Mount review here.

    I was hoping to position my iPhone above the tach in order to use/view one of the available skid pad apps but the suction cup didn't come close to holding on the textured MINI dash. The only non-glass surface I could conjure up as a viable alternative was the overhead cover plate for the bluetooth mic, etc. It adhered okay to this surface; however, with the weight of the iPhone in its jaws the device shook like a dog after a bath (keeping the canine theme intact) while driving on all but the smoothest road. Most of it seemed to be due to the instability of the mount and not the mounting surface.

    Might work for some other creative application, but IMHO don't bother if you were thinking of using it for your smartphone in your MINI.

    Delkin Mount

    Here's a camera mount I'm trying out for the first time today, the Delkin Fat Gecko Mini. I have a CruiseCam headrest mount as well that works great, but gives an all to clear pic of the speedo! Put the Delkin mount and camera on 3hrs ago in a 95deg garage and so far it's still holding solid. I've got a remote for the cam that allows on/off, zoom and still pics w/o moving my hand more then 6" from the wheel. Will be doing some canyon carving in an hour to see if it stays put. With my kind of luck I'll probably hit a 1/4lb June Bug directly in front of the lens in the first mile, LoL Will let you know the results. :postcount

    Well, unlike my cellphone, she's soft & cuddly and less likely to shatter when the mount gives way. :biggrin5:

    I'm planning on emailing EXOMOUNT to let them know what happened.

    You should post a pic of your furbaby.

    (hmmm...now there's a thread idea!) :idea:

    Alright, now I gotta post one of my guard dog! She's usually watching over OldBlue, and hops inside and curls up on the seat and falls asleep as I'm washing it! :biggrin5:

    LOVED your description "...shaking like a dog after a bath." That's exactly what happened with my phone and which is why it wiggled itself down & out of the "clip".

    If they don't allow me to return it for a full refund, I guess I'll have to use it as a photo frame holder, similar to their example of using it for a Kindle/iPad (?).

    Delkin Update

    My new Delkin mount is working real good so far. Still hasn't fallen off and the short video I made was clear and nearly vibration free. I'm pretty sure what vibration there was was caused by the camera mounting arm just touching the dash. I could see the camera vibrating, but the Sony HDR-CX150's image stabilizer eliminated most of it. Will be moving the mount to the right to be directly in front of the passenger's seat and with the arm not touching anything. Got it at Amazon for $28 and have no complaints yet. :smilewinkgrin:
