Universal Ball Mount X-Grip Holder

This is my 3rd one. I have one on every vehicle so i don't have to borrow and swap anymore. Prices are competitive at Aerostich, with other on-line retailers, plus if you wait for one of their "sales" you can get just about any item they sell for less money than any other retailers. Awesome. Bonus: Sometimes they even send you free gifts with your orders!!! Books, T-shirts and stickers. Help Keep them in business and support local USA company!

just got back from a 3000 ml trip to the Taos area, put my I-pod with weather proof case in it an worked like a charm on my GS,

I have been using these in both my cars for about a year. As much as I like them ( I did buy two) I wouldn't use one on my motorcycle without some tweaking. I've hit big enough bumps to dislodge my iPhone from the mount. Obviously in a car it's no big deal if it falls on a carpeted floor, on a motorcycle ??? If I did use one on a bike I would secure it with something, maybe a heavy duty rubber band. Great product with a bit of fiddling.

Most mounts for smartphones require you to take the phone out of the case... a real hassle. This little sucker will adapt to any case and hold on tight. The nubs are a firm sticky rubber that grab other rubbery and plastic surfaces very tightly.

I haven't tried mounting it to a paint shaker, but I'll bet it would hold. Got it mounted on my bike, and it's very sturdy. Haven't seen any shifting or movement.

Mounting it horizontally is the safest orientation, since the nubs cradle it from underneath, rather than just 'grasping' it if vertical. Also, the flatter you mount it (i.e. the device's face is parallel to the ground) the better it will hold. Common sense really.
