OnePlus 3 Car and Motorcycle Mounts

The OnePlus 3 SmartPhone is the successor to the very successful OnePlus 2.  What’s different?  A lot.  A faster processor, 16MP camera, slightly larger in size and a new operating system.  This is normally sold as an unlocked phone which means this will work with multiple carriers. While the OnePlus 3 is a large phone featuring a diagonal screen at 5.5 inches, this phone is 6.01 x 2.94 x 0.29 inches (152.7 x 74.7 x 7.4 mm).  These are the measurements needed when selecting a mount.  I haven’t seen any OnePlus 3 custom cradles so we are going to discuss universal mounts.  The OnePlus … Read more



Phone and GPS Mounts for Kawasaki Vulcan Motorcycles

I attended the 2016 Gooch’s Garlic Run earlier this month.  I have written about this annual event before.  It’s for a good cause and each year a few thousand bikers show up for the annual ride to downtown Newark.  There were a few Kawasaki Vulcan models present and I snapped a photo of one so I could write a good article.  So, here’s our article about mounts and holders for Kawasaki Vulcan motorcycles. The photo that accompanies this article shows the Kawasaki Vulcan.  This is another easy motorcycle for mounting a phone or GPS.  Lots of handlebar space.  Also a few other … Read more



TaoTronics Car Air Vent Magnetic Smartphone Mount Review

I became acquainted with the TaoTronics Car Air Vent Magnetic Smartphone Mount out of my attempt to mount my Apple iPhone in my brand new Nissan Murano.  It’s one of the hardest vehicles I have seen in terms of mounting a device.  The middle vents have a giant lip under them and I’m a big fan of vent mounts.  Knowing about the giant lip under the vents, I was searching for a mount that would attach to the slats and extend over the lip. The photo that accompanies this article shows what you get in the small box.  There’s a … Read more



iBolt MFI Approved Powered Car Mounts for Apple iPhone

Today, we’re going to look at an entire line of mounts from a company called iBolt.  They are one of the few companies I am aware of that bundle in an MFI (Made for iPhone) approved cable with their mounts.  Most iBolt MFI mounts have a cable management built in.  The cable management helps to keeps the cable in place versus dangling freely around your gear shift or arm. The mount that is pictured is my Apple iPhone 6s Plus mounted with the iBOLT xProDock Car Dock / Mount / Holder for iPhone 6 / 6+ / 6s / 6s+ – … Read more



Phone, GPS and Camera Mounts for Honda FourTrax ATVs

Today, we take a look at mounts for the Honda FourTrax line of ATVs.  The Honda FourTrax lineup spans a variety of models including the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon, FourTrax Foreman 4×4, FourTrax Rincon, FourTrax Rancher and several others from past years.  All are built similarly. While the Honda FourTrax ATVs do not have a traditional motorcycle handlebar, I was surprised to find there are some similarities.  Between the brake controls and the fork where the controls are located is some spare handlebar space.  That space is difficult to find on any ATV, but it’s here on the FourTrax.  This is the best place to mount a … Read more



Car Mounts for the Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector

The Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector is one of the more popular radar detectors manufactured by Escort over the past several years.  While it will work well for many years, the car mount will not. There’s a good chance that the Escort Passport 8500 X50 radar detector will outlast the mount.  This is a well made and expensive radar detector.  Unfortunately the mount isn’t made as well as the radar detector.  The small suction cups will likely lose suction after a year or two.  This is especially going to be the case if living in extreme climates. The mount that is … Read more
