Brodit Passive Holder and Windshield Mount for the USA?
I'm looking for the Brodit passive holder for the JasJar and a compatible windshield mount with an adjustable goose-neck, I'm in the US. www.proclipusa.com doesn't appear to carry either, although I understand they are the US distributor.
Anyone, any ideas where I can get these?

I am looking for one in the USA as well. Proclip USA claims that they will have the Passive holder soon, but haven't gotten a definitive answer from them. None of the UK shops appear to be able to ship outside of the US, so I guess we are stuck waiting for Proclip USA to get them. Because the Jasjar is not really a USA device, I'm sure they are not in any hurry to get them in.

Heh heh, nice find!!

So how does this clip function.
Do you slide the Universal in, or do you kind of clip it in.
Is the power cord attached to the clip and you just slide it down in to the usb port, or is the wire just dangling all over the place when it's not connected.
I hate multi action holders and dont want something where i have to use both hands and a foot to get it in place.
I go in and out of my car many times a day, so it should be easy and without hassle.
I can live with the fact that i have to use a BT GPS, even though i love my BA holder having the GPS integrated, ooohh and what other choises are there out there.....none :?

Like you, bosjo, I've become accustomed to having my bluetooth GPS receiver powered via a wired link to my old M2000 active cradle. Having juice supplied to both M2000 and BT GPS meant I could never get lost.
I'm hoping in due course these Brodit M5000 cradles will also allow power to be supplied to BT GPS otherwise it's going to be a mess of wires in my car!

Damn it twonk - JUST ordered my clip and active holder and then read this post....stupid stupid me.
Anyway - was only £2 more.
The cheapest Brodit ProClip I could find was http://www.carkitonline.co.uk
£17.12 total (13.62 on its own) so pretty good!

CarKitOnline have got O2 Exec holders in and is actually cheaper than HandNav - you need to phone them because the phone is not listed on the website yet.

Coming up to three weeks now waiting for my active holder from mobilefun
Avoid like the black death in my personal opinion

Why dont you just call them and ask them what their problem is. Did they mention that the delivery time is less than that? I am sure ordering from Brodit direct would have been much better.

Yeah they do seem a bit unresponsive...they sent me out a screen protector and a cigarette adapter within a day but my leather case and brodit holder is still 'out of stock'. I phoned them and they gave me a date of 18th...so try phoning them and they will tell you when more stock is coming in.
IN the end i cancelled my brodit holder from them and brought it from handnav (who were supplying the clip anyway) for cheaper .
Still waiting for the leather case though..........
Unversaldoc - how much is the brodit holder direct from them? Surely they will charge more!!

They keep saying stock is arriving, that date comes and no stock, same again this morning, think i was told new stock was coming on 16th Dec and another lot coming 19th Dec so i should definitely have it before the 21st.
Best bit is you pay postage for 2-3 day delivery muuuhaaahaaha
Trouble is the wifes bought me it on her plastic as a stocking filler so i dont want to bug her for her card again, you know how they growl

Hi All,
I sell the Brodit kits and know that Brodit had a severe quality control issue with the charging leads on the active charging cradles, which meant they had to go back to the drawing board and get new leads shipped in from their supplier, hence long delays.
I still have stocks of the all Xda Brodit ranges inc. the Exec in stock if anyone is interested. Please PM me.
Seems a shame that no one told you all of the delay though.

@Cut,
Costs around £60 for the holder and the pro-clip not including delivery costs. I agree, they are expensive compared to the other resellers but they are dependable and have fantastic support. Personally, i wouldn't mind paying the extra £10 just for the quality of support and feedback

I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)

You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike

I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Hey Neptune,
I see what you are saying, but thousands upon thousands of very satisfied customers and no damaged devices, along with rigourous controlled tests really do mean you are worrying about this without a valid cause!
Thanks

Perjan, thanks for the heads up. For £40 i would be expecting top build quality.

Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris

hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.

Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.

Hi madjid,
Do you have any pics of the XDA Orbit in a white and in a black case ???
I seem to think it will look OK in a black case but am interested in what it looks like in white..
Cheers
Gaz

Yes I'd also like to know if it will be a perfect fit for the O2 XDA Orbit as it is a different shape to the Artemis and it's varients.
Really want one but need to make sure it will fit well!!!!

hi as per email n ebay
i need to see the black case both frotn and back with the phone inside or not...
also the pic you showed is that the white one or the grey one???

More Pictures and what it looks like in the orbit hope this helps
Hi to all , as requested I did put the pictures for you in the site , more of them for the orbit as a lot of you want to know if it fit it normal,to me I have both orbit and mda compact 3,its the same fitting since the button are the same,but again the choice is yours you decide.
here is the link for the pictures
http://www.sidiplus.co.uk/ipaq.htm
and this one when you happy to go ahead
http://www.sidiplus.co.uk/Hot Deal Bargains.htm
Also they very good if you use a car windscreen holder (cheap one under £10 they are magnetic holders from ebay),I personally use one and I put the metal bit under the case, you dont even have to stick it to your phone and its firm.
Its better than buying the original one and taking the silicone off each time you plug it in.
Any questions just ask.
Thanks to all

Hi Madjid, both links are the same mate. No pictures.

Thanks. I'll try the black then with the orbit. What about the holder that shows in the pictures. I couldn't find any on the site.
As for the magnetic bit...and the metal bit, I really didn't understand anything.
Nevermind about the picture of the holder, I did find the other post about it.

Hi, the holder that I was talking about is like one of those
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAGNETIC-SUCT...3QQihZ002QQcategoryZ75447QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
And the metal bit is the small bit you see in the picture,you just put the metal bit between the case and the pda,so there is no need to take the selicone case each time you use it in the car mount.

LG Optimus One Car Holder

Since i bought my Optimus One i have been looking for a good car holder. I really hate the suction mounts for the windscreen because they are pretty far away and can be destracting, so the LG SCS-320 accessory was useless to me. Plus i did not find it in stock in any shops in my country.
I searched for some universal mobile phone holders but all i could find were some bad made in china models.
A good friend of mine is the Brodit importer in my country. I had already got the dash mount for my 2008 Opel Astra H. Unfortunately, Brodit don't make a holder for this type of phone, probably because LG already has one, so, temporarily, i was using a Nokia ajustable holder, but that wasn't really what i wanted.
Today i went to his shop and he suggested i look through his stock in search of a mobile phone holder that fits. After 10 minutes i found it. It was a padded holder (very nice because the phone doesn't get scratched) for and old iPhone 2G. It fits perfectly. The product code is 875168 if anybody is intrested.
Pics below:

So, any iphone 2g holder is ok?

Well the Brodit one fits perfectly. Cant guarantee for the others. Its better if u can test it before you buy it.

Do you think a car holder like this would work for the P500? http://www.emag.ro/accesorii-telefo...o-universal-hama-pentru-telefon-mobil--p17658
Don't mind the language though

Of course it will work, it's universal. I wanted something with a bit more quality though.
Nici mie nu imi place limba aia

I got LG's car holder and car charger with my Optimus One when i bought it. It came in same retail package. I can give you exact model. Its SCS-320 theres pic too.
*edit sorry. Just wokeup so i haven't read your post good and missed part about what kinda car holder you are looking for.

Well i already have a car holder (the one in the pics above), just wanted to share it because i thought it may help some people

yeah I like your design better pejte opposed to the one that sticks into the window

It's not my design, they are made by Brodit. I have just tested out a few holders and found one that fit, because they dont make a dedicated holder for this phone.

Sorry for the offtopic: what's the name of that clock widget?

nice idea! only bad thing is you have to screw into the dash...

You don't have to screw anything into the dash. That's the thing with the Brodit products. Go to their website and see the short presentaton clip.

great idea
very nice maybe i will try it.
in what rom are you useing?

Soo Good i have one in my car.

I bought one from walmart I think, hooks up in the car vent, horizontal or vertical, I leave it in horizontal mode for navigation (widescreen). I hook up my phone with my car stereo, and when the call comes in they get routed through car speakers and the mic picks up my voice perfectly fine. Pretty awesome.

I've used a similar car mount, but replaced it now with an X-Grip from Type-S.
I'd post a link or picture but I can't yet, just google search for "x-grip type-s"
I't great because you can adjust the angle of your screen in any way, and it works with the phone in a vertical or horizontal position

Just saw some nice car holders for all the phones on lootspot.com... although it doesnot have international shipping

Wow, it seems very nice. Thanks for sharing.

+1 . I want that

The idea seems really good. Where does your friend have the store located?

Tripod?

With such good video, I'm really keen to get a tripod, or at least a tripod adapter.
Can anyone recommend something? I realize an 'official' tripod is probably not on the cards, but maybe a 'generic' model you can recommend?
Thank you!

http://joby.com/gorillamobile/original/

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Is that confirmed working? I ask because to me the textured back on the SGSII seems like it would be a problem for a suction cup.

Anybody got a tripod solution that is working? I really need an accessory for this, and all the ones I see on Ebay and similar only work to the width of 62mm.

I know I'm pimping it everywhere at the moment, but I'm really impressed with my Breffo SpiderPodium. Would work quite well as a tripod, I'd have thought,

Thanks, to be honest I was looking at it for just that purpose last night... hmmn, could be doable.

Unfortunately the Joby model is not avail in the UK - and buying it from the US would be a 12 quid shipping fee... on something that already cost 25 quids.
So I'm back to square one...

I need this aswell, but still couldn't find a good one. If I want to buy the joby, which one should I buy? I've only seen those for iPhone. Seen the universal, but I don't think we can use it for SGS II.

It is available from various places, John Lewis being one. However, the cheapest I could find is £25 from the below link.

Sadly, no, they have various models, and this is the SLR model. The model for the SGS2 would be the mobile one with the suction cup and the two adhesive pads. While you can get a gorilla pod in the UK (amazon), the mobile kit doesn't seem to be available.

Hi everyone - I finally found that Joby Mobile in the UK. cost was only 11.99 inc delivery. I must say I took a gamble, because the site doesn't look very professional - it's http://www.7dayshop.com.
But they charged my card correctly and I received the tripod within the week, so all is well than ends well
Now the question is 'does it work' and the answer is a resounding 'yes!'. The suction cup takes time to get accustomed to but once you get the hang of it works perfectly. I'm using a rubber phone cover, so I guess this helps. If you don't have any luck with the suction cup, it also comes with adhesive pads (non marking) and finally it also comes with the standard camera attachment so you don't have to carry two tripods.
I must say for 11.99 I'm very pleased!

thanks for sharing your experience.. might get one as well
