Track Phone Mount

[DaleFredriks]

What are you guys using for phone mounts on track? I don't have a phone mount I use at all, I put my phone upside down in the little cubby just ahead of the cupholders next to the power outlet, or I will just put it inside my glovebox. But I'd like a mount that will stay in place that's preferably not windshield mounted so I can monitor my laptimes using HotLap.

I use one of these for my AccessPort: https://www.scosche.com/mmwindow Same company makes others that are dash-mounted

I got the pack of 2 mounts that attach to the windshield from COSCO for about $39. Has not come loose since I attached over 2 months ago for my Samsung j7 phone.

get the Razzter( made by one of our own members) a pillar mount for the ap and attach a either a phone clamp or a scosche magnet to it. I do that with the Scosche Magnet mount.

I use the AP pillar mount on track to monitor temps for oil and coolant already though.

ya I used to use that too aka Pro Clip for my phone till a thief who was rifling cars in buildings parking garage decided he wanted it. lol No AP or phone in the car he just had to have the mount and my cheap freebie enjuku Sunglasses I think he was a drug addict.

I never went to the track but I loved my proclip mount, phone was very secure. Price of entry is a little high though

The amount of crime going on now is unbelievable! Hardly any police around and these scum use the cover of darkness. The number of parcels/mail stolen from porches by these people is going through the roof. They know that if they get caught, they'll be walking before the police have finished their paperwork!

I’ve found Tackform to be the quickest and most secure. I use two: one with a modified ProClip and another on a RAM suction cup for my spare phone that pairs with my 10Hz GPS antenna.


The antenna is Velcroed to a Ram mount that I stick to my sunroof inside the car.

I used to use a windshield mount for my phone to capture video and lap times. I used this one - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CO3HCUM

I've since switched to using a GoPro for video and the phone stored elsewhere for gps/timing.

TrackAddict uses the phone cam and also attaches to my GoPro. Pretty cool for how cheap it is. Laptimes have never been a priority of mine because traffic is always an issue but it is cool to capture video of my shitbox passing my buddies or vice versa. When I do have an open track, the 10HZ GPS antenna makes TA much more accurate when timing laps. Turning all this shit on and keeping the batteries charged is an inconvenience so I rarely use any if it lol. Too bad the Garmin thing is a grand.

Wait how does track addict connect to a GoPro? I've been syncing footage after the fact.

Go here and scroll down to External Camera Control. It should sync and pop up in Race Render later on when you connect it to your computer. I have a Hero9 and use “Hey GoPro” commands.

That's cool, thanks - it appears the video will automatically sync if it recognizes the external camera. I'll have to try that out!

I'm late to the conversation here but I also use a Ram mount. I have a suction cup version then use TrackAddict with my phone's camera. It's good-ish. The way the phone cradle expands and rotates is fiddly when trying getting the camera in a horizontal position. But overall, the build quality of the mount is excellent.

Something else I'll mention is that the suction cup sucks ( ) as much as all the others I've used for mounting radar detectors, phones, etc on the windshield. When it gets hot in the car it falls off. It happened twice last summer on a 100+ degree day. Once in the middle of a session where the phone and mount when flying to the passenger floor around a corner. Another time the car was just parked and with the weight of the mount and phone made a dent in the plastic trim next to the shifter. I'll probably figure something out to make it stick on there better, maybe with 3M VHB tape.

This has been an exceptional windshield suction cup mount for me - PanaVise PortaGrip Phone Holder with Premium Windshield Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CO3HCUM

I ended up getting this one and tbh I was nervous about it not being a strong enough magnet, but it held my phone great on Big Willow yesterday. Interested to keep trying it out on a more technical track that has less fast sweepers. I mounted it to the flattish piece of plastic right by the passengers airbag light.
