I think this is a good product. It sticks to your windshield using a power suction cup, that when applied correctly (everything being cleaned and slightly moistened), practically can not come off.
It rests on an opposable arm that can bend in any direction and angle, even multiple ones. You can mount it on any glass surface (or smooth metal). It looks nice and hold the PSP securly.
I don't know what would happen in a car crash, but there's a good chance the thing will sit tight and not move (obviously depends on how severe the crash was).
The only flaw I found was where the plastic attaches the cradle to the arm. About 30 seconds after I took it out of the box, I was looking at it and bending the arm. I must have twisted it a bit because the plastic cracked and it would not stay on anymore. A bit of epoxy fixed that right up and I have had no issues from it.
If I was to pick again, I think I may choose the Multi-Angle Mount over this one (also by Arkon).
Ever since I purchased the PSP, I have dreamed of using it in my car for music, movies, and simply to impress my friends! The Arkon VG242 windshield mount allows me to do just that!
This is a very slick and simple mount for your car. It uses a suction cup to easily and firmly mount to your windshield. It is not just the standard suction cup, but rather the kind that has the lever that locks it into place. The kit also includes a sticky pad that will allow you to place the mount on your dashboard.
The neck of the mount is felxible in 360 degrees, and is very strong. I was worried that the neck would eventually lose it's strength, and that the PSP would swivel around. I can't imagine this ever happening, as it's hard enough for me to bend the neck with my bare hands! The part of the neck that connects to the clasp is a ball joint that allows the PSP to be even furthur maneuvered.
The clasp for the PSP is surprisingly strong, and it features a button that pops the clasp out of place to instantly release the PSP so you can easily take it with you. The pads on either side of the clasp hold the PSP firmly; I had no worry of it falling out when I was testing the mount.
Overall this is a classy and sexy accessory for anyone who wants to wow passengers in their car. Or in my case, make your crappy car look really awkward!
I wish I could give this product a 100, since I find no flaw in it, The $30 price is perfect for what you get.
