I saw there was a thread for the mount, but no pictures or anything. So here is my review for the mount and how it fits a few different devices

Anyone found a decent car mount for the wizard
I need one for satnav. I've seen one for about £45 that has a built in speaker etc - don't really need that
Would be interesting to hear (and see pics) of what people are using
Hi Hays,
Have you considered the Brodit holder solution?
Have a look (link below) or drop me a message and I will be happy to advise (Wizard listed either as Xda Minis or MDA vario)
you have the choice of passive holders, active holders charged by cig lighter or permanent fixed power version also for hidden cables etc. All attach onto a proclip mount that is specific to your vehicle, in a variety of positions on your dashboard.
Hope that helps,
Cheers, Bryson
That kit looks very good quality - seems quite expensive though !!
I use different cars at work, so I need something that can be moved easily. Could I use the holder with a different mount, ie perhaps a vent mount (that's not too hard to move from car to car) or failing that a suction mount (not too keen on a suction mount due to the smaller display of the mini s )
Was thinking of this

Bryson, I'm after a active holder with no cable attached, so that I can add a "Y"-type lighter plug cable that will charge both my Qtek 9100 and my Bluetooth GPS mouse. (I had a similar one for my h6340, and want to stay with Brodit.)
Is Brodit developing such a holder design soon?
Hi,
Yeah there are 2 available from Brodit, codes 848650 & 848655 (Called passives so you can insert your cable as mentioned)
Check this link and scroll down past the Xda Exec holders to the Mda Vario/Xda Mini S/ Qtek 9100 holders

Hope that helps, take care, Thanks!
Hello,
I got mine shiped from the US to Germany within 2 weeks from www.thepocketsolution.com which have a fast feedback and good customer support in general. The mount device works perfectly well as expected.

I got the brodit clip and horizontal holder for my XDA Mini S from dsldevelopments, and am very happy with both the clip and the service!
I tried one of those cheap ebay mounts that clips onto the airvent but thay was useless and moved all over the place. The brodit clip goes over my S60's vent perfectly and is very solid.
The only thing I would suggest is instead of using the supplied screws to attach the holder to the mount - use velcro. I did this on mine so that I can quickly remove the holder and put it in the glove box. Good for security as passers by cant see I have a satnav mount and wont try breaking in to see if its in the glovebox!
Hi,
Instead of velcro, Brodit make a 'Moveclip', one part fits on the back of the holder, the female (2 supplied for x2 proclips) part fits onto the proclip, and both parts slide together, giving an very strong fix, and also the flexibilty of being able to move a holder between 2 vehicles with proclips/gooseneck installed. (also serves the same purpose of being able to remove the holder from sight to stop the thieves!)
Hope that helps, heres a link:

Bryson!
instead of a car mount I did something different. I just bought myself a nice case for the mda vario (e.g. noreve, piel frama). These cases are made of leather, and therefore they have good grip.
I just lay the case on the kilometer radial in front of me, and it stays there. Even in sharp corners.
The advantages are: cheap as you don't need a car mount and thief protection as there is no car mount visible.
I've been doing a lot of research trying to come up with a good solution to mount my Transformer in the map compartment of my car (03 Mazda 6) which is actually pretty large. The transformer will almost fit in it horizontally but I want something that will allow me to adjust and swivel it to be able to easily change my viewing angle so I was looking at some goose neck/swivel mount solutions but I wasn't sure if they would support the tablets ~1.5lbs weight. The goose neck solution I was looking at is made by ProClip (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...ount-with-amps-hole-pattern-215181-13978.aspx) and I was thinking of just putting a PadTab (http://www.thepadtab.com) on the end of it since I can't find a holder for it yet. Does anyone know if the Motorola Xoom holder might work for it since the dimensions are nearly the same? Does anyone else have their Transformer mounted in their car in a similar way? If so, what solution are you using (besides a vent mount). Also if you have any suggestions on what may work I am open to hear them.
Actually after looking more online I'm thinking that this flex mount (http://www.panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&page=full&--eqskudatarq=149) looks a lot sturdier than the one ProClip sells and I think it may be able to withstand vibrations a lot better and is cheaper which is also a plus lol.
There's someone on this forum that did proclip + pad tab.
I talked to the product manager at ProClip and they do not have any plans to develop a TF holder. The holders are very specific to the device so a Xoom may not work.
The pad tab seems like the only option but I don't want to stick that plastic square thing on the back of my TF...
Here is the link to that post...he has pictures and even a video:

Got mine mounted in my car today. Came up with a better/permanent solution since I don't trust the padtab to hold my device. Will post some pics tomorrow but here is what I used in case any of you were wondering..
RAM Mount Tab-Tite Holder (Model # RAM-HOL-TAB3U) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V9JA20
Panavise 6-Inch Stay-Put Flex Mount (Model # 782-06) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I7OQB4 (although it's really really hard to flex .. i guess that's what the stay-put means in the product name .. and it doesn't move when you drive at all so if you want that flexibility i would suggest a uniflex mount that panavise makes.)
I have an 03 Mazda 6S which has a map compartment that opens up above my radio which I then mounted the Panavise base to by drilling 3 holes in it for the mount and I put a metal sheet behind it (since the map compartment is plastic) for extra support so I can flex the mount if I need to. Other than that this has worked excellent.
Pics? Sounds like an awesome idea.
Just finished my ram mount set up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118181
@weenrock - What swivel did you use for yours? Mines rather tight. Lol.
Anyways here's the pics as promised. I'll make a video tomorrow when I have more time.
Wow, nice work!

That's kind of extreme.
You could've just used a suction mount:
http://www.amazon.com/RAM-B-166-TAB3U-Suction-Tab-Tite-Cradle-Motorola/dp/B004V4N3NW/ref=pd_cp_e_1
I bought one of those for myself.

I'd really like to know how well that suction mount works before trusting a tablet being mounted to it. Please report back after you've got some mileage with this mount in use.

Think there is much difference between the tab holder you used vs this one from RAM? http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogRes...rtid/082065077045050051052045054/Default.aspx

We understand the concern...that being said the adhesive we use is stronger than most mounts that are either drilled into a wall or suction cup holders. The adhesive is used in industrial applications in place of metal rivots such as holding metal street signs and bonding sheets of metal for trailers. The PadTab would not be worth our time if it didn't do what we say it does. Securing the tablet was our most important goal in addition to allowing it to be mounted.

Well - I just used the one recommended from RAM mounts - Part ID: RAM-B-101U-C
UNPKD. RAM MNT. W/2 2 1/2" BASES & C ARM
It a straight swivel with two ball joints that are coated in rubber to have a very solid grip but easily movable.

This looks like it is a permanent mount...not a suction cup mount. Am I wrong?
Here are some vehicle mounts that will work with the HTC Jetstream:
Windshield:http://www.arkon.com/tablet-accessories/universal-tablet-windshield-mount.html
Can purchase from: http://www.semsons.com/aruntawimowi.html
Center Console / Seat Bolt Mounting:http://www.arkon.com/tablet-accessories/universal-tablet-car-mount.html
I ordered from: http://www.semsons.com/aruntacarmo1.html
If you find any other good ones, post them below!
I personally purchased the seat bolt mounting holder and it works great!
Windshield Mount
I just bought the windshield mount and I'm impressed how well it works. Thumbs up for this product.
Did a search of this section and was surprised to see that no one has mentioned Slipgrip at all. Just wanted to let everyone know about the products they have for the SGS2.
They make mounts for your car/bike/whatever; the cool thing about them is that they make them to be used with a naked phone or while your phone is in an Otterbox or Seidio case. I had one for my Inspire 4G and now for my SGS2, both were wearing Otterbox Commuter cases. The mount works perfect, just pop the phone in and it locks in place, pops back out when you push the clip. It's held securely and they have multiple mounting options (vent mount, suction mount, RAM mount, bike mounts... they have 12 different mounting options).
Another neat thing is that it is cut out to accommodate the camera, so you can mount it on your windshield and easily record the idiots in front of you.
Yeah I had one of these for my captivate after burning through 2 or 3 universal car mounts. Its great. Really sturdy and your phone wont come out unless you want it to. Hopefully Ill get around to buying one for the gs2
I was just looking at these the other day. Other than buying direct from them which it was going for $30 - I could not find them anywhere else. Glad to know it works well, I will just have to save up for it.
My quick RetiCam Tripod Mount XL Review
I will be using this mount for all my filming in the future where a nice clean stable video is needed.
This mount fits perfectly with thin and bulkier cases with a little room to spare.
Solid aluminium
Nice flat base
1/4" screw mount
and is super sturdy! It doesn't budge at all

I was looking to get this one after seeing your video, but came across this one...it appears to fold down to near flat which seems pretty cool too.

the problem i've seen with mounts like the one you posted is that the small mounting surface makes video just a little shaky sometimes. Like with too much wind or walking with it on a steadycam etc.
I was able to move with the RetiCam perfectly fixed when I was recording. It's something many wont notice until they have tried a few products. Plus Metal is much nicer than plastic!
