Is this car mount stable in the car when used on interstates or fast speed?

I mount this holder on my windshield and it hasn't been off since last month. I made 2 trips from Seattle, WA to Vancouver, Canada last month. The mount is very stable but the cell phone holder comes off from the mount very easy. It works for me!

I use it to mount to my windshield while driving. It holds it really secure.

My car rides smoothly on highways, but I haven't noticed any significant shaking on rougher roads with it holding a Garmin Nuvi 2555 (5" screen). You cannot shorten the cable without taking the lighter plugin part apart. I just wrapped the excess cable around the holder.

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

Your question is verry open ended. that all depends on where you want to mount it. any SO259 female mount will work with it. I own two of these from two different sellers. they have a problem. when you reach 70-75mph on the interstate, the wiggle theirselves out of the fold-over mount and laydown wagging like a happy labrador's tail and become usless

It does go on quickly. The pressure from sitting on it holds it in place. I never had it on a moving vehicle. It is solid and works great.

This mount will hold a lot of weight but at the cost of a lot of vibration. I would not use it on any moving object such as a vehicle or motorcycle, it picks up a lot of bumps and rattles.

use it to hold your cellphone or navigation system in a place while driving. it's easy to install and will never fall down. its well-made and I have been using two of them keeping my phone fixed while I am driving.

It is a fairly steady device but if you are expecting to put your full weight against it laterally at the top, I don't think it will hold that. I It is a friction mount and will pull loose with enough force. Best for stability and steadying use.

Both will do what they are designed to do. from all I've seen and heard, it's a personal preference. I do agree that the mounting system could use a good upgrading. Even using the dash mounting plate, it still falls off from time to time.

I have not had any issues with it at highway speed. I normally travel 70 - 75 and have been well over that with no problems. Adjust the clamps every now and then and it should be fine.

I use a RAM mount holder for the mini ipad which allows the bad elf to be attached without any pinch points and holder is mounted to the vehicle by the RAM mount extension and suction cup - it has never come off in either very cold or very hot conditions and no problems with vibration or rough terrain - RJ

I have a 2003 Avalanche, which the dash is not flat. The mount will slide around quite a bit. It does get on my nerves. I only use it at times. For a flat dash it looks like it would do great.

Some people say you shouldn't be in motion with it mounted at all as stated on the cable; however, I have had my vehicle to about 80mph without a problem with this thing mounted to it. Do this at your own risk!

It works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

It's a glorified rubber band mount that can come off in about 2 seconds. Don't let the "rubber band" and quick removal fool you. I've commuted several hundred miles over some really bumpy country roads and haven't had any problems with the durability of this product.

Mine didn't wobble at all. I got a hitch put on my civic at uhaul. It was such a tight fit I had to scrap the paint off to get it to fit in.
