Not a happy ending. in CB and talkback radios

The coating is very easy to scratch just by placing the microphone on the bracket. Also, the mount doesn't quite match the mics I have on the Baofeng and BTECH radios. I had to change the mount to fit the mic, but the mics still won't snap into the mount. The manufacturer should be aware that the microphone shown in the photos does not actually fit.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Annoying

A bit pricey but well made, works with UV-5R

I use this to install my Baofeng UV-5R and portable speaker in my truck. The fastening is made of metal, very strong and reliable. The M5 screw just goes through the mounting holes and to hold my UV-5R stands securely all it took was a small piece of foam padding on the front of the mount to fill the gap. The price is a bit high ($19.99 would be ideal), but nobody makes a mount like this yet, so you're left with only one choice.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Anything I can add

Little good, little bad.

Advantages:1. Cool design 2. Very unique, there aren't many things like that. The bad: 1. The paint they used to spray the aluminum has a little graininess. I see that long-term use will damage and erase your precious HT.2. Although this product was designed to be screwed directly onto a hard surface, it would be nice if the seller developed multiple mounting options for it to make it more versatile.3. I tried it with my baofeng and it didn't seem very stable to me - it slid a lot. (No docking…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Useless functions
