New phone mount option

[CharlieS]

I have a 2016, and was looking for a new phone mount solution. For a while I had a Gamiviti speaker cover setup which was awesome, but a bit overlandy when I returned my 200 back to daily driver duty.

I ran across this clever mount from Offroam that is subtle and fits in nicely with the 200 aesthetic. It has a metal 20mm ball mount.

It firmly mounts to the air vent with a clever clamping system.

I was using Quad lock mounting which worked well, but I got sick of their ram style ball mounts failing (rubber self destructed).

I recently moved to the Bulletpoint magnetic mounting system in my Grenadier, and figured I'd do the same in the 200.

Here's what I ended up with:

I think this is a trick setup.

I may just order another one for the other vent (it fits either side).

Fits 2016-2021

I may have to try this, looks awesome.

I was just looking at the bulletpoint mounts, what size length (mm) arm did you go with? That setup looks perfect!

HIt them up, who knows, if there's enough of a market maybe they will make one?

Exactly, not available for 08-11 or 13-15 LCs, the sexy OG 200 series. But even available for #notreallc250. This is discrimination.

Hey. That’s pretty nifty!
Thanks for sharing, CharlieS.

I think I’m going to get one.
But can you say why you went with the arm?

I mean instead of mounting the phone more directly to the 20mm ball with something like this:

I think that would work fine too. The short arm gave me some maneuverability so I could make sure the phone was in a position that worked for me.

Always thought Offroam had the best phone mount. Have it in my tundra. Rock solid. Great customer service.

So, after seeing the post by @CharlieS I went for the OFFROAM phone mount.
The thing is great; it installed in something like 30 seconds and is quite strong. But I really really like the RAM phone holder we’ve been using for quite some time. Problem is, the RAM mount uses 1 in. "B" size balls and the OFFROAM uses a 20mm balls. This means I have balls of different sizes. Which means I need to adapt!!!

The solution is an adapter which I have used for other devices and that’s a “17mm to 25mm Aluminum Socket Arm, KALCINTY Length 3.5" Composite Double Socket Swivel Arm Compatible with RAM Mounts B Size 1" Ball 17MM Adapter”
Adapter:

So, if You’re like me and wind up in a situation where you want your balls to match-up then this might just work for you.

I have a bunch of Ram arms and Bulletpoint arms. One cool thing is you can get ends that fit either 20mm or 1" (Ram) balls for the Bulletpoint arms.

Flange Socket - Converts 20mm arm end to accommodate 1" ball

This flange socket easily allows our arms to accept 1" (25mm) balls to work with other mounting systems. If you have a 3rd party device holder which uses a 1" ball size, this is the missing component you need to seamlessly connect it to your Bulletpoint setup. Simply attach this 1 inch flange...

Sounds like your balls are in good hands.

Well… shoot.
I received my Offroam mounting base today.

I stupidly thought my existing MagSafe charger had a 20mm socket. Turns out it’s 17mm.
And googling doesn’t find me any MagSafe charger that has a 20mm socket.

(The link I attached in post #10 is a phone holder, it doesn’t charge.)

Is anybody aware of a MagSafe charger with a 20mm receiver so I can attack it directly to the Offroam mount?

If not, I guess I have to go with the mounting base - to an arm - to the charger. This is less minimalistic than I hoped.
(But still better than my current setup)

I have the Offroam mount and their Magsafe charging holder. I love it and it holds securely for daily driving. Haven't tested offroad yet.

Offroam and Bulletpoint MagSafe chargers are 20mm

Offroam and Bulletpoint MagSafe chargers are 20mm

I can vouch for Bulletpoint for sure - I have one at 1" and one at 20mm, both Magsafe.
