What are the best car mounts are based on where you want to put it. Out of all the car mounts that I’ve used, my personally favourites are the magnetic mounts because of how easy they are to use.
I’ve spent a couple of months of using different car mounts, in different cars and I’ve broken down the areas into following.
1. Driver side window
2. Rear view mirror/ center dash
3. Vents
4. Console
5. Cup Holder
I won’t really focus on a specific brand most of these car mounts because nobody really does anything special (vent mounts are a dime a dozen).
5 - Cup Holders
I didn’t think you could mount your device in a cup holder but I found this GearBeast mount on Amazon. The idea intrigue me so I bought one and immediately regretted it. Out of all the cars I’ve sat in, I could not find a comfortable place to mount my device. On my car, the car mounts get in the way of the gear shifter which is pretty important in the operation of my manual transmission vehicle.
All things considered...WHY?
4 - Console
From my experience, most of the products that suggest mounting it on your console are products that come with integrated magnets. Products like the Nodus Leather case, Nite Ize and Magbaks would fall into this category. My biggest issue with mounting it on your console is that you’re going to cover something up.
The other problem is that mounting it on the console seems to take away from the general design of the console.
Also, removing semi permanent mounts is a pain in the butt.
The only benefit of having it on your console that I can think of is that there is almost no chance that your device is going to overheat on a warm day which may happen with mounting it on the windshield. I'd personally go with a Nite Ize Steelie mount for my console.
3 - Rear view mirror/Central Dash
I see a lot of devices being mounted in this general area and for good reason. It’s out of the way of the console, doesn’t require much effort to check and the screen can be viewed generally by anybody in the vehicle. If you are planning on getting a mount for this location, I would suggest getting one with a longer or extendable arm.
I’m not a big fan of the rear view mirror/central dash setup because it’s a little distracting. I don’t like how there is something in the middle of the windshield that adds to my sight line as I try to avoid pedestrian who don’t look both ways before crossing. It gets worse with the bigger devices.
2 - Vent/CD Mounts
Vent/CD Mounts are the best for people who don’t need to have their devices mounted in their cars all the time. Like the rear view mirror/central dash, I’d go with a magnetic vent mount. And get the one where the mount has a joint to allow you to turn your device towards you. The iFace magnetic mount is one that I’ve been using.
My only issue with these mounts is that you’re blocking an actual vent. This might not be an issue in a place where the weather is mild but I live in a place where snow and cold weather exists for 4-5 months out of a year so heat is very important to me. Losing a vent is a big deal. Also, with vent mounts, you’ll increase the chance that your iPhone is going to overheat.
1 - Driver side windshield
This is my preferred location for my device. It’s out of the way and I can still keep track of directions or monitor potential phone calls.
The only reasons why I wouldn’t keep it here is if the setup would block a vent or if your device is way too big to fit in landscape mode. An iPhone 7 Plus in an iFace mount in Landscape mode is comically too large.
It is a tight spot so using a larger mount like the RAM mount might not work as well.

Great review! I'm real fortunate because my car has a 2" ledge that sticks out from the dash and seems almost custom made for adding a smartphone or any size tablet. All I did was roll up a 7" length of duct tape, sticky side out, and attach that to the ledge. Then I attached a 7" length of duct tape to that, non sticky side out. (Although you could also use Gaffers tape that doesn't leave a residue.) Then I simply lay the smartphone or tablet behind the tape, leaning it up against the dash. The device doesn't tend to go anywhere, though I could add a magnetic strip, Velcro or Gaffers tape to the back of the devices and front of dash. Simple solution, and since the duct tape is the same color as what it's attached to, the car looks like it was made that way. No one has even noticed that it's there. Oh, all I'm covering up is an old (2009 navigation system) that doesn't have traffic. When mounted like this, the iPad mini even looks like it came with the car! Lastly, the cost is in the pennies and can be configured and reconfigured in any way desired.

what about magnetic mount and wireless charging ?
-
Thank you
-
why are you alone

recently I'd switched my Nexus 5 to phab 2 smartphone and this phone is huge 6.4" and I can't seem to find a damn car mount that fit. So I bought the WizGear magnetic mount and I'm now a happy camper. Mount to your air vent and so convenience easy to take off and mount. I had tried other magnetic mount before and it's shit, but WizGear magnetic mount has strong magnet. It's awesome.
-
so if im using navigation on the phone the magnetic one will lead me to the wrong direction ? or its just the compass??
-
What was the mount you used for the driver side window?
-
thanks
-
@6:46 what is the name of that magnetic car mount?
-
great review!
-
The cup holder one for me is the best in my mini.
-
Great video, very informative.
-
Nice review. Professionally done. Do you have an opinion about "Nato Mounts"?
-
very helpful!
-
There are also several house bills in several states that are going to outlaw mounting ANYTHING to your windshield or dash board because of visibility issues,
So don't waste your money.
I have a better idea.
Put the fucking phone away and drive.
You might get there alive.

Do NOT mount a smart phone on a vent mount, the air conditioning will ruin the phone, condensation will develop in the phone? BOOM! Phone is junk,warranty voided.
Happened to me.
In the winter? The heat will destroy the battery.
Happened to me.

5:53 what mount is the one holding the brown iphone
-
Pro Clip is by far the best I've used. I got mine last week & it's awesome. It's vehicle & phone specific so you get a "custom" fit. It is pretty pricey though. Only drawback.

I've got to get an Rokform fuzion for iPhone 7 now because the 6 had to go sux because I still have my rms mounted in my truck! But it works great!!
