We start this week’s show with the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Dashboard & Windshield Car Mount Phone Holder
I wanted to mount a smartphone on the windshield of my Farallon Workboat to use it as a security camera. (See link below for Alfred Camera that lets you do that.) So I needed a really decent mount that could take the pounding of waves from storms and wakes around my boat. The iOttie Easy One Touch 5 looked decent and had good reviews on Amazon, so I bought that. I nearly bought the model 4, but fortunately saw the “there’s a newer model of this” just in time. The model 5 is said to have a new larger Easy One Touch button and a cradle that allows for wider device & case compatibility. Plus an improved telescopic arm that extends further and pivots. And finally the newer model has a redesigned suction cup with an improved sticky gel formula that provides a stronger, lasting hold. You’ll see how it worked out in the video we shot aboard my boat. On Amazon both the model 4 and the newer model 5 were selling for the same price, about $25.00.
