Dashboard, windshield, and vent mounts are practically essential for people that want to use their smartphones in the car. With hands-free driving laws and the obvious safety concerns, a solid mount is the best way to keep access to GPS navigation at a glance. But choosing the right mount can be more difficult than you’d think. Luckily, your search can likely stop with the Sinji Magnetic Car Mount.
Lots of car mounts use bulky cradles that hold your phone in place, but are total eyesores otherwise. Sinji’s mount uses a magnet to stay sleek in appearance and secure your phone without issue. It also makes it incredibly fast and easy to attach and detach your phone at a moment’s notice. To set the mount up, you simply clip it your car’s air vent and tilt it as you need.
Don’t miss your chance to get this phone mount in the Technabob Shop for just $17.99.
The Apple Watch is literally almost a phone. With a virtual sim card of its own, and a whole lot of other features that make it quite an independently capable device, the Apple Watch is capable of being much more than a smartwatch, and Satechi’s Grip Mount gives it another purpose, other than that of a smartwatch, and another home, other than your wrist.
Satechi’s Grip Mount for the Apple Watch allows you to attach the device (sans the wristbands) to your car, cycle, or motorbike, allowing it to work in conjunction with the vehicle, serving the purpose of a navigational device that also lets you answer and reject calls, or even control music. The fact that the Watch comes with Bluetooth makes it perfect for your car, allowing you to connect it to the car’s audio system for on-board calls, navigational guidance, or for controlling music playback. You can also use it on a bicycle, letting it run the Cyclemeter app to capture the amount of exercise you’re getting too! The Apple Watch, chock-a-block with cutting edge technology, is capable of being much more than a wrist-mounted smart-device. The Satechi Grip Mount does it a fair bit of justice.

Nikon is not exactly known for breathless marketing, but it's going all out for its upcoming mirrorless full-frame camera. The company has unveiled yet another video teaser called "Mount" that gives us a good look at the shape of the camera, especial...
You may be familiar with this video from a year ago when a die-hard fan took his trusty-old GoPro and mounted it on a Hot Wheels car, filming an absolutely epic POV experience of a track that covered everything from asphalt to greens, to even a brief driveby through a gutter.
Mattel took a serious look at that combination and turned it into an official collab, resulting in the most fun mount for the GoPro… and also probably the cheapest.
With a meager $1 price tag, the Zoom In GoPro car is basically a skateboard for your GoPro Hero 5 Session, allowing you to conveniently nest your action camera into the car, securing it with a bar at the back. The weight of the camera lets the car hug the plastic track, stopping it from flying off the rails too easily, plus gives it an extra bit of a push thanks to the momentum.
Easily the cheapest accessory for the GoPro, the Hot Wheels Zoom In GoPro car/mount is also the most exhilirating. Imagine all the high-speed footage you can capture! Besides, isn’t it every little child’s dream come true?? To ride in their miniature car down the track that they built with their own hands??

If you like to shoot videos or photos with your smartphone, chances are you have at least one accessory like a selfie stick or a tripod. Each of these serves a purpose, but it’s frankly a pain to carry around multiple gadgets. Enter the iKlip Grip Pro, an extremely versatile accessory that not only works as a telescoping selfie stick, but works as a tripod, and as a handheld grip. It holds pretty much any smartphone on the market, with or without a case.
In handheld mode, it works as a grip that keeps your fingers away from the screen, and adds stability to shots. You can then extend the grip’s telescoping rod and use it as a selfie stick, or to get shots over the heads of a crowd. An integrated, detachable Bluetooth shutter lets you operate your iOS or Android camera remotely. The pole extends from 19cm (~7.4 in) to 63 cm (~24.4 in) in length, and locks securely in place at each of its four segments.
At the base of the iKlip Grip Pro are three legs which pop out to form a tripod. This works well for cases where you want to have rock solid shots, and is great when used in conjunction with the remote for shooting videos of yourself. The ball-head mount holds firmly, and offers a wide degree of adjustability, and lets you lock down your smartphone just about at any angle.
The tripod works with both smartphones and with cameras with a 1/4″ UNC thread, weighing up to 35.2 oz. I tested the tripod in tabletop mode with my Sony a6300 and the heaviest lens I own, and the ballhead mount held strong. That said, it doesn’t have a weighted base, so you won’t want to do use this in a high traffic area or in the wind.
You can also extend the tripod using the telescoping mechanism, but it’s pretty top-heavy, so I wouldn’t trust it with anything heavier than a GoPro in this mode.
Overall, the iKlip Grip Pro is an extremely handy tool for any smartphonetographer to keep in their bag of tricks. It replaces at least a couple of items with a single one, is easy to carry and easy to use. You can order the iKlip Grip Pro starting on December 6th for $59.99(USD).
