Handheld GMRS - Temporary mounting solutions?

[Belmartian]

Has anyone found a setup to mount a handheld Mainland? I want to be able to mount the radio/mic for when I need get but be able to break it down easily after rides. I’m thinking about a Molle sunvisor and just clipping it up.

I paired this base mount with a holster designed to accommodate a radio's belt clip, and it holds my Baofeng GMRS handheld pretty well. Haven't had any complaints from passengers of it getting in the way.

I keep mine mounted because I like listening to NOAA weather and local emergency transmissions - but, I used some Tackform arms and a custom made radio holder (but, you can find generic versions) as well as the Bulletpoint mic holder. This is all mounted on the Archetype SLAP. But, if just mounting one item - the single threaded mount point will work for ya.

You could use an overhead mole panel shelf that can also be used for many other things.

Zip tie a clip/cradle to the grab handle?

That is how I have my mic mounted when I have it hooked up. I just leave the holder zipped because it doesn't affect anything and is hardly even noticeable.

This is just a piece of ABS plastic that we used a hair dryer to soften and bend. It is very secure yet very fast to use. Best of all it was cheap to make. Two longer bolts/screws replaced the hand rail screws and zip tie helps make it more ridged. The tape is to better fit my radio so it does not rattle at all.

From this position we can run an external antenna and add a handheld mic if so desired.

Does this pop on and off pretty easily? It looks like a good solution for me but I wouldn’t want it on all the time.

I use the cheapest and easiest mount: my cupholder.

I used a bracket/mount from something or other, drilled holes, used some picatinny scope mounts and Velcro to fasten mine to my BYOD rail. Works great, out of the way, and you can hear it fine, reach up and key in when needed.
Or remove for actual handheld use.

No, the mount's designed to stay mounted. Not sure why you'd need it to be a temporary fitment as it doesn't impede legroom for the passenger but there's a use case for everything. I don't leave my radio clipped to it all the time, though.
