Car mount

hey, I heard that there's an arkon mount that mounts to the vent of a car.....

Which one is it? none of them really state that they can be mounted that way....

Thanks!

Anyone tried the PSP Magic Stand?

If so, does it get in the way of the PSP-290?

Cheers

It looks rubbish quality. Don't want to let the psp fall of it onto my car floor or something.

Alright, I'm going to put my opinion in about these "Magic Stands" and the other ones that look like them. I got a 13" model off eBay for about $15. Worked great for about 3 days. I left it in my car all day, but one day when I went to work, the suction cup holder warped in the sun, and it wouldn't hold a decent grip on the windsheild anymore. AFter one more week of use, I went to turn the PSP screen to better fit my view, and the rod connecting the base to the PSP actually broke. Taking a look inside, all that's holding the PSP up is a thin mallable metal, maybe alluminum or lead (lol, god forbid. it is from China afterall). Anyways, now im looking to get a more "solid" PSP car stand.

Thanks JimmySprinkle, now I know that I'm not going to get one now.

What about this one?

Only concern is that this holder may obstruct the use of the PSP-290.

That's what I wanted to know earlier, lol, which one is that? No one really answered my question......

All of the Arkon stands look solid, but I don't want a suction cup model, and I don't have enough of a flat surface for the one that sticks on a flat surface, so I figured the vent mount would be best.

Your not the only one with that problem, I had the same thing while driving a route on my motorcycle, I also wanted to change the angle of the stand, and the stand snapped inside the suction-part of the stand.

Not really a problem, I've got a solution that works even better than with the suction section, tomorrow I'll make a picture.
