CravenSpeed Gemini Phone Mount for Mini (1st Gen Models Only) [Scissor Mount]

This is a great phone holder. Love how it looks in my car. Can be adjusted to suit area and person's viewing area.

I've tried a bunch of gadgets, even mini-specific ones, that didn't fit well in the 2006 convertible; it's just a special interior in many ways. However, mount is *perfect* and straightforward to install (definitely use a magnetic screwdriver... and it's easier to see the main tach screws by looking through the front windshield from *outside* the car :-) Scissors mount holds the enormous Note 9 easily - if it weren't for the bixby button, it would be perfect, but instead I have to clamp the phone a bit off-center, so it rotates a little when cornering; I'm sure I can tighten the pivot once I decide if I want it vertical or horizontal, I just haven't tried yet. I'd never heard of cravenspeed before stumbling across this mount - they've got a bunch of novel camera mounts that attach in surprising places, nice to see such ingeniously designed products for a 13-year old car.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a on the pricey side. But does it work just great for the Mini Cooper! Mine’s a 2006 Mini Cooper S. I don’t know about other owners but I needed a Philps and a star pattern screw driver to install. The install took me about 10-15 mins!

Solid build exceeded expectations- only downside is no way to angle phone towards you, it is fixed at the angle that the speedometer sits at. At the price range it sits at I would expect it to be perfect.

Even though I ordered the “scissor” model what I received was the “magnet” one. It’s a Usd. 10 dollar difference that I hope CravenSpeed refunds me. Besides of this minor mistake the cellphone holder works excellent ...!!!
