Small and no frills but does reliably his service

After we got ourselves a new navigation system (TomTom), a right bracket was needed. This was not standard with this in our model. After back and forth, we finally decided on this small bracket. As soon as basic vote first: We drive around with it for a few months and are satisfied with it.

Thus there are no nasty surprises, you should note two things in our experience, then you can leave very well in this bracket: First you have to tighten the locking wheel well, so that the suction cup (firmly pressed on the clean plate!) Considers reliable. Second, you have to click in the Navi correctly in the ring so it does not fall out. This means some trouble at the beginning. But after two or three trials we had the hang of it:
You simply summarizes the folded ring firmly sucked bracket with the left hand and pushes the Navi right so that the Navi hear a well audible clicking. For flexibility of the bracket: The mounting ring sitting on a ball. If the holder fixed / tightened, the TomTom can be rotated in the mounting ring once. In addition, you can adjust the tilt angle and the Navi also rotate to the side (well, if the passenger wants it time to see). In our experience, the mobility is sufficient to meet all the needs (eg. As lighting conditions) to meet. However, the rotation of the first 3 or four weeks was a little stiff side with us. Thus, the bracket came off sometimes when turning. Meanwhile, the mobility has improved, and as we now fix the holder / tighten very good, there are no more problems.

You can not say a lot about the life after nearly six months use. However, the holder acts more like the first day. The suction cup holds still as strong as (just be tightened again must) at the beginning and also the retaining ring holds the Navi firmly still just as at the beginning. Otherwise, I have noticed no abnormalities.

Conclusion: This TomTom Holder is our faithful little companion. She holds the navigation device on the inner wheel (we will solve it about every 3-4 week again, pushing the suction cup firmly and turn the locking wheel again firmly). To bring it to the faucet, you need a smooth surface. If necessary, you have to stick a washer (is accessible also to have for little money). Sometimes you need two hands to festzuklicken the navi (one holding the holder, and the other presses on the device). For this, the device holds absolutely reliable when it is once latched. If necessary, the device can rotate in the holder and adjust the height (tilt angle) and to the side. Such a multi-dimensional all-round swivel is possible until the Navi side abuts the disc. In my opinion, the mobility is (everyday and leisure) absolutely sufficient for all situations. Because the handling is a little complicated and it takes practice to reliably lock it the Navi in ​​the holder, I draw from a star.
