Brodit 511483 Passive Holder Universal, Black

I've had several no-name, vent-mount and CD-mount holders, and they've always seemed a bit flimsy. One even pinged a clip inside the air vent, never to be seen again.Brodit holders have been my choice for many years now. Yes, they're expensive, but you get what you pay for.First, you need an adapter plate - there's one for just about every car, usually with 2 or 3 different locations. Then you need a holder. There are many types of custom holders to suit different phones which screw into the adapter plate. I've always gone for the unpowered holders, and this "universal" holder fits my current phone in it's case. It's adjustable, so it should be able to accommodate a different phone, and if I change my car, I can take it with me.I wouldn't use anything else now.

A great idea. Once tightened up it doesn't work loose and can be adjusted to fit within the range it states. Note there are different versions so make sure your device's dimensions fall between those stated.The base of the side runners tapers in so once you have adjusted it to fit the width of your device, the device slides into it and stops at the bottom. This provides a confident hold.If like me, your last few devices have been very similar in width, this should help keep costs down by not having to keep swapping the holder out.Also, if you are concerned that this is not the 'active' version with built in power, you will probably find that most recent devices have a much improved battery life and you do not require constant power to keep GPS and maps all working on a journey like you might of in the 'old days'.Of course, you can still pop a normal charging cable in should the battery get low.

I aways buy brodit car mounts perfect fit no drilling not cheap made to last

I bought this for my Blackberry Motion handset as there was not a specific holder available. The holder fits the phone well but can become dislodged from the car windscreen pillar itself as the fixing edges are quite thin. Could do with more pronounced fixings to secure the holder better

A great product. Feels really good quality and my phone fits perfectly.

This holds my Samsung S21 Ultra in its official silicon case. I adjusted the screws to set the width to allow just enough room for easy insertion and removal. There's a tiny bit of front-to-back play - as this depth can't be adjusted - but it's minimal and the phone is operable in situ and will not fall out. The only real negative is price: £30 for a bit of plastic and a few screws is a bit steep in this day and age.

Brodit holders are fantastic quality and the only ones I use due to their sturdiness.

The best mobile car mounts on the market. Not the cheapest but by far the best. Simple to fit and they hold the phone very securely.
