    Smartphone Roof Slide Mount

    Rich, I think the one you suggested earlier is a better option , I think that's more flexible in terms of positioning, but it's not available anyway, I might call them and see. Thanks

    Smartphone Roof Slide Mount

    I think I may have looked at this before, but wasn't sure if it has the slider I am looking for, looks like this one works on suction.

    No, it's KCRS, I've already cancelled it due to wind, my instructor was a little disappointed cuz he had more faith in me I guess, but I just really dislike wind at this stage.
