Multiple questions (1) still working after a few months? (2) is the tri-tap plugin rubber or hard plastic? (3) Do you wish this had a swivel mount?

(1) 3 months in and it still works(2) the tri tap is rubbery plastic. I'm not sure but it's fairly well made. (3) I don't see the need for a full swivel mount. It swings left and right enough to get the job done.

I use it everyday with no issues. The head is clear rubber. It does swivel. You'll be happy with it. I'm a pro tradesman and very picky.

Hi,Interestingly, we just installed this reel in our shop yesterday, so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. The tri-tap plug is hard plastic with a circuit breaking molded in it. In our shop, this reel is mounted on a 12 ft. long over head boom that can swing where ever we need it. The plastic mounting area where the bolts attach the reel is somewhat thing---that concerned us some. The main reason I bought this reel is because it had a 15 amp rating which most reels do not have.

(1) Yes, no problems at all. (2) Don't remember, but it is very durable and no problems. (3) The reel swivels in one dimension. That works fine for every application I've had. The real issue is, does the cord stop when you want it to stop, and does it return when you want it to return. The answer is yes. Also, the cords are flexible and seem to be of high quality. Absolutely no problems to date.

continues to work great, the plug is hard plastic and it has a LED light in it so it is easy to find if the room is dim, and the swivel mount is not necessary - the cord can freely be pulled in any direction- I have four of these and love them

1 - works flawlessly 2 - it's a hard type of vinyl/plastic - very durable 3 - No, it works fine as it is in every situation I've used it. 4 - I'm buying another one for the other side of my shop at some point - very durable.

Sounds good to me, Mike! I wish technology allowed us to beam these things back and forth, so we could make in-person inspections. Maybe in 30 years...

My Answers:1) Yes, still working. I still like it.2) It's not really either. It's a harder vinyl/rubbery feeling. If you go to any hardware store and look at theirs with lit ends, it's the same thing.3) Not in my case..I wouldn't want a swivel the way I use it. It works well.

Tom, any swivel mount will do, but the G G & G mount was recommended to me by some shooting buddies to be the best and sturdiest mount. So I used it, and I am very happy with it!

The mount will swivel side-to-side, in addition to swinging-up. (I have one of these units installed)

I bought this thing, and I love it! I think the hard plastic board you are talking about is the swivel mount with the suction cup on the back. I mounted this thing on my golf cart windshield for GPS, and it is awesome. You can angle the phone however you want... For the price, I don't think the product could have been better.

I clamp mine onto a std rail. I believe there is a swivel mount option that I did not use. It's good for rail mount. Can't say more tho.

I'm pretty sure it does swivel 360deg. My tv has cables attached which restricts it a bit, but I've turned t right and left almost all the way. Sorry I'm away from the device right now so I can't text it in person. But it's a great thing. Been using it for almost two years and it's perfect.

No, I´m pleased with the fixed mount. But I understand that it is more lexible with the swivel mount.

It has something of a clip on it - it's not very secure but I use it on the back of my topeak rack sometimes. Much better on the mount. I don't like switch though - it turns on too easily.

Unfortunately the mount is plastic and has broken on me twice. You will have buy the whole thing, it isn't sold separately. Buy something else it will break again!

If this one is like the one I just bought from Ace, it does tilt at many different angles (though the directions barely mention it). What I haven't been able to make it do is swivel at any angle. Also, most of the moving parts are plastic.

Tilts but does not swivel. BTW, works well with off camera cord to develop any angle and lighting option by hand

is anyone getting the link for repair? i had my swivel cord tightened and haven't had a problem since, but would like the repair link if anyone is getting it.

One more thing I'd suggest to the manufacturer: put a swivel connection on the cord somewhere so it doesn't twist with use.

I used silicone to attach the mount as tape will come off in the heat. There was a lot of wobble with my larger RV Garmin, so I used Velcro on the left side to hold it solid.

It is not a swivel type you just put it into the mount and twist and it will lock in place.

I am not sure what your are asking but the swivel just snaps in place. The button on top is spring loaded.

it's more of a pivot then a swivel. will tilt out as you put it in or take it out. only issue i wish is that they use some type of suction for the base so it would stay in place on desk as you remove the phone. b/c it doesn't you sort of need 2 hands to pull it off. otherwise it's good
