I received my Carmount Today...
It's the Arkon VG935 ... It was delivered from Britain to Germany and I must say ists really good...
I tested how stable it would be on the WindShield... It is really tightly...
I can also heave my really heavy Desk with my 17 " CRT and other stuff on it with this Arkon VG935....
So.. I'm really satisfied with this product and it's worth to pay about 25 € .... :thumbup:

Thanks for the pic!
why not..???
Can someon take a picture of the PSP-290 attached to the PSP from the top to compare if it could fit!?
Sorry for my english.. I'm not using a dictionary!! ;-)
EDIT:
This thing on the top of the Arcon CarMount can be removed and modified that the PSP-290 can fit or you can screw somethin HomeMade to this Carmount instead of the original supplied holder for the top of the PSP. !!

kamatschka thanks for that pictures, now Im decided to buy :P
I'm thinking of buying one myself, an Arkon will it be!
But what is the differance between VG934 and VG935?
Which is the best? The VG934 doesn't have that extra "arm", but is it necessary? And what is "5” Windshield Suction" and 7"?

I think i may get the Arkon to see what the difference is between the two.
And it does not interfere with the sony -290
What I like about this one is that it is fully adjustable in any direction. It has two swivel ball joints that allow it's flexibility. And to loosen both joints all you have to do is unscrew one knob.

I just recieve my ARKON VG935. It works with the PSP-290, but you have to tilt it a little. But the two legs are adjusted with springs, so the psp will fit tight.
I bought the same, bad point is the two legs cover the sound system ( very bad point) and to works with the PSP-290 i had to make a small hole at the top of the support to fix it.
But anyway is a very safe car mount.

For the Akron mounts, just use it upside down.:thumbup: And the 290 Fits like a glove and nothing interferes with anything, well the brightness button is a little difficult to get to but doable.
Nice pics! I had heard you could flip it upside down and make it work perfectly.
i bought the 935 but had to sent it back for defects plus it's out of stuck. i have the choice of the 934 and 967. i know the 934 will fit the psp-290 just as good as the 935 but is it the same for the 967?
who's got the 967 and what makes it better than the 935 if it is?
thanks!:confused:
I'll go with that one too, I compared the shipping cost and in the end, that one will only cost 10$ more than the Akron.Quote:

looks hot but how sturdy is the suction? i really don't want to make a turn and have the entire assembly fly out the window
I got mine in the mail today!!! :thumbup:
Thats what i call FAST!
I ordered 2 days ago :D
It's the RAM one ( http://www.gpscity.com/item-ram/ramb166pd2.htm )
It's perfect, it fits like a glove with the mid-size clamps.
Here's some pics:

Edit: Hehehe, I just noticed that the date is wrong on my PSP :)
It wouldn´t... the suction is really strong as long as the window is clean... it is definitely the 16$ worth !!Quote:

Mobz87, nice mount. I'm thinking of one myself, but i saw there where two different types, one is 10" and the other 13", whats really the different, and what size is yours?
my is 10"... but if I am buying a new one someday I will buy a 13" because then you will have the PSP a little closer to you..
i just bought the same kind Mobz posted off ebay today, was like $12, will have to wait like a week till it comes in.
make that 2weeks if you are from USA or europa.. :)Quote:

I got an arkon from through an amazon seller for like 20 bucks. Flipped it upside down and it works fine with the 290. I was really displeased with the 290, and decided to buy a GPSlim 236 and a premade cable from that paypal guy who sells them. Got the Holux for 43 including shipping (a steal). With the 290 in my room, i got 1-2 sat's and no fix. The Gpslim I get 10-12 and a fix in about 15-20 seconds. Its amazingly better. I'm probably going to sell my 290 if anyones interested.
Nope, it fits really tight, the clamp at the bottom move up and down to release the psp but you have to push hard for it to move.Quote:

As for the camera, it's a Canon PowerShot S2IS. :)
Mobz87, dont really understand what the difference is between 10" and 13", what do u mean by saying it will come closer to you?
Please explain!
The shaft length will be 13 inches instead of 10 inches.Quote:

I bought this mount at Best Buy today for like $30

It's OK, but in my Saturn it sucks because my cup holder is in front of my gear shift and if I switch to 3rd gear the gearshift bumps into the PSP. I'm going to return it and get something else.. I'm looking for some other sort of mount besides vent mount or windshield mount.
