Great with a little modification

This mount is probably the best of the bunch - I think you get what you pay for. Love the design and the very secure way my iPhone 6 clips into the Luvvitt Ultra Armor Case (another winner btw). The only thing I didn't like was the decision to use plastic sliders on either side of the adjustment screw. The bars are quite flexible and allow the entire clamp to tilt and flex slightly from top to bottom (see other pictures attached). I solved this by driving to my local ace - I decided to replace…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Functionality

Finally a mount I can trust my iPhone 6 Plus with

If you're looking for a mount you can truly trust with your expensive smartphone, look no further. After extensive research and many bad buys, THIS mount is by far the best choice for people looking for a strong mount that will hold your phone securely in place. I've tried at least 10 other mounts, most of which are spring loaded. Plastic fasteners that don't guarantee your phone will stay in place. With these spring-loaded mounts, all it takes is a little push and your phone can pop out. So I…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Since it doesn't hold the phone very well I gave it 3 stars for durability. In other aspects, the clamp screw is enough to put a lot of force on the…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Big and chunky

RetiCAM Smartphone Tripod Mount (Nov 2018 Update)

Almost 90 days since using this mount. Samsung Galaxy victory. The only drawback so far is the rubber seal. It's clear they're glued, but the glue holding them doesn't work. 1 of 4 rubber pads lost in the field. So overall 4 out of 5 stars. April 2016 update. Approximately two years of use. During those two years I had only two problems. 3M rubber pads which were my initial problem in early 2014. Slipped, didn't keep my phone in place, lost them. I contacted Reticam, they gave me a set of extra
