Vendor how to chose a phone mount

[Yeslak]

If you're looking for a phone holder for Model 3, Yeslak's will fit the bill. Its 360° free rotation keeps your phone at a comfortable viewing angle. With 16 built-in strong magnets, the phone will be held strongly and stably. The base has a 3M pad to allow this phone holder to adhere to the back of the center display. Its retractable design makes it invisible and preserves the design of the Tesla interior. By the way, please don't miss the 20% discount in our store.

Welcome!

It depends on what you want, what you want to use the phone for, and what works for you. I got this clever yet simple phone holder from Abstract Ocean when it was on sale:

Automatic Phone Dash Mount

This awesome little mount allows you to place your phone anywhere along the vent line of your dash. It's ideal if you're using your phone for Waze, or the dash app that's part of the S3XY Buttons app. Things get even more interesting if you're using one of our Yokes, it really opens up the dash...

I use it for the S3XY Buttons dash app. I put it in line with the steering wheel but unfortunately it is often occluded by the steering wheel. It would be easier to see with a yoke.

Another problem with most phone holders is the phone tends to bounce around if the pavement is not perfectly smooth. The ones that attach to the screen have a longer lever arm so they bounce more. Also my small S10e phone didn't fit perfectly in it.

There are also features like wireless charging and magnetic mounts. What's great for one person may not be good for you. People might be able to give you better help if you explained what you want to use the phone for and what features are important for you.

I seldom go on long trips so charging is not important to me. The S3XY Buttons dash app doesn't require me to interact with the phone so putting it behind the steering wheel is fine. If you need to interact with the phone then putting it on the touch screen might be better. I have a swivel mount for my touch screen (which I love) so the screen mount is not ideal.

You may end up trying several different mounts to find out what works best for you.

I just use one of the cup holders in the center console. Why would I want to mount my phone? Calls and texts come thru the car itself just fine and I use the car's navigation system, not my phone's.

I use a QuadLock wireless charging mount with a RAM ball and arm. I do use WAZE and radar and podcast apps, and it’s safest to have the phone mounted as high as possible so as to not to require head-down time. Works great.

Note: the first photo has the standard QuadLock mount. I find the wireless charging mount worth the extra money for convenience.

What did you use to connect the Quadlock head to the RAM arm?
I am planning to use the RAM cupholder base (stubby) and long double socket arm with my existing Quadlock charging head but I'm suck at how to connect the Charging head to the arm.

Quadlock sells a 1” RAM ball that screws into the charging head. I’ll see if i can find a link.

Is this what you mean?
