Frequently asked questions
- Will this mount fit my cup holder?
- The expandable base is designed to fit most standard cup holders found in cars, trucks, and SUVs. For best results, measure your cup holder's inner diameter to ensure the base can expand enough for a tight fit.
- Can I use it with a phone case or tablet case?
- Yes, the mount's grip can accommodate most cases, but very thick or rugged cases may reduce the maximum device size that fits. If your device with the case exceeds 12.5 inches, it may not secure properly. Check your device's total width with the case on before purchasing.
- How do I adjust the viewing angle?
- Loosen the tension knob on the multi-pivot arm, position the device to your desired angle, then tighten the knob. The 360-degree rotation allows you to switch between portrait and landscape easily.
- Is the mount stable on bumpy roads?
- The heavy-duty expandable base and multi-pivot arm provide good stability, but very rough terrain may cause some vibration. Ensure the base is fully expanded and locked in place for the best stability.
