Can the clamp (the one that DOES NOT hold the phone) screw off form the flexible arm? I want to make my own mounting.

Yes. It is threaded, and held on to the clamp with an acorn nut. The threads aren't very long though. So it will need to attach to some other form of sheet metal, or be threaded into something.

Yes, the clamp end is only held on with a nut, so you can take off the clamp end.

yes, it can be mounted that way, but be warned that the extension arm is extremely unweildy and not easily positioned at specific angles. If you tighten the grips enough (on a ipad without a case or one with a very thin case) then it will hold on, but I wouldnt keep it that way for too long. Cant speak for it being in place safely for too long. I had to return mine because 1) it was way too inflexible, and 2) it wouldnt hold a ipad with a case. Good luck !

The mount can be removed by unscrewing two allen head screws. Since allen wrenches are right angled, you can easily fit under the phone mount section of the mount.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

The clamp takes up about 1" but once the phone case is stalled the handle bar real estate is gobbled up on my left side. And no room for other accessories. However it's nice to have phone right there for easy viewing. If I can change one thing I would make it a center mount.

The phone goes into the mount with a portrait orientation. Once the phone is in the mount you can swivel the mount so the phone is viewed in either portrait or landscape. So the left arm of the mount clamp will always be in contact with the left edge of the phone. And simiarlarly right with right. But the mount swivels so you can view the screen however you prefer.

I do not believe you can remove the holder. There is a knob that you can tighten or loosen to determine the tension on swiveling the holder around. I'm not sure why you would want to do that anyway. I have never kept loosening it more and more to see if the holder would come off,

Unfortunately not, the mount is a very snug fit so that the phone doesn't move.

I have no experience using the RetiCam mount in the way you describe. The mount can be tightened down on the phone to the point that you could possibly damage the phone, but I don't know how vibrations from a bike might affect it. The threaded hole in the bottom might be the weak link, depending on what mechanism you have for holding it tight on the bike. As far as using it on a tripod or other camera support such as a clamp, its great.

Yes but you can't center the phone in the clamp because it covers the volume buttons. The clamp is strong and does the job. Does not invoke the mobile/car mode.

Possibly, but the main true way to mount this thing is to drill holes and screw down the arm base. You might be able to get around that with either zip ties or industrial strength Velcro.

I suppose you could zip tie it to the arm, but the holes are specifically for mount tray. Be advised this looks like it's just the tray, no arm included.

Yes. The mount comes with two different sets of arms, one for a smartphone, one for a tablet.

Yes, I want to give an advise, at the base of this mount put a double sided tape, a small piece is enough , as I have a bike so for its use I use the tape as it provides a grip on the phone , the tape is easily removable also.

Yes, you can mount right or left, and can also mount with your stabilizer or with the included hex bolt. You can move it somewhat to get it away from the grip and as long as you mount the phone vertically like the pictures, you shouldn't have an issue with the grip. I'm still testing with mounting the phone horizontally since You tube doesn't like vertical videos.

No, but I wouldn't go so far as to say "no way". You would need to make modifications to the stand to do it, better to just buy a stand that already has a mount included

Yes, you can loosen it. I had the opposite issue. Clamp was too loose and wouldn't hold. So, in had to tighten it more.
