Review on πŸš— Enhance Your Garmin Experience with iSaddle CH 157 Bracket Cradle by Brian Whitmore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will not fit standard Garmin ball head suction cup mount as shipped

This looks like a replica from Garmin and fits perfectly on the Nuvi 40 LM (which had the original stand mount broken off). most of its plastic protrusions that grip the ball head; this Nuvi 40 is at least 10 years old and used in several cars and rentals). Therefore 5 stars for the installation/uninstallation. BUT the included replacement stand will not connect to the original ball head suction cup, another Garmin ball head suction cup mount from another GPS, or the advanced tilt mount I bought at the time. I removed the metal ring (spring?) surrounding the plastic fingers and was now able to fit the ball head into the socket, but it took a lot of effort to get it in. him back. Hopefully this lasts for a while and I'll update if it breaks anytime soon. I think the plastic should be stiffer than the Garmin part and the metal spring ring seems more durable too. You just can't force the ball head in until that metal ring is removed. Maybe with a GARMN spare part?
