I found a decent approach for a really inexpensive way to mount my iPhone quickly. The 4K wide and regular on my iPhone 11 Pro is superior to my GoPro so this made sense for me. Since it’s tight to car there is no shake but again this is a poor mans approach vs throwing a gimbal or slider

it was $8 for one day delivery on amazon + a 1/4 thumb screw (I had this already so didn’t need to buy also) and is long/tight enough to keep secure.

I was looking at that mount too. The only thing that I was Leary about is the how much the vibrations of the road and other inputs will jar the footage. Post a sample video while driving, I am curious of how the iPhone's stabilization works with this mount.

Looks good. I may put this on the "save for later" list. Side bar: I never understand why these Chinese companies with the random letters for a name feel they have to brand their products. "Is that the FORWYXNB?" "No, I decided to get the LAXFUTOOL."

I got the same but different company
Works great on my Note 20 ultra
Been off roading and the stabilization from the phone made the video great.
Have used on two different wheeling trips and it never moved!

I have been thinking today. This mount with a rear view mirror camera could be a decent poor man's front camera. Most of the rearview with camera also have a front facing recorder on loop. Would allow me to place the camera where I want to avoid the winch blocking.

Well after all of my excitement the test drive just now proved this won’t work. The bar that holds the bracket is too long/flex so while the image stabilization does take over to some degree, the picture is too degraded for my liking. VIDEO BELOW.



Back to the drawing board. bracing the bar with my hand while I drive actually is a huge improvement so perhaps there is a way to give more support to this system. Or maybe need a whole new approach.

Getting closer and when it works it’s gonna be dope!

is it possible to remove and reinstall the upper half on the other side of the base? And turn the base around so the long side of the bottom plate sits on top of the light gray part of the dash? Add a piece of thin rubber underneath to absorb some of the vibration to further help it.
