Can anyone recommend a mount that is robust enough for use on trackdays with Harry's Laptimer?

Specifically I'm looking for one that fits an iphone 4S.

Cheers all,

Dave

Last post from Jubal is most useful.

Cheers,

Most trackday companies (and most circuits) in the UK won't allow suction-mounted phone/camera holders. Check with your TDO of choice before spending any money.

If suctioning it to the windscreen on track be sure to tether it - it it drops off at the wrong moment it could otherwise end up in your footwell (where I can assure you, you don't want it). Rear view mirror or/and sun visor anchor points ought to be decent options for tethering something of phone weight. If it is secured to something non-suction based as well then some TDOs consider it okay. Otherwise consider something that could be stuck to the screen with VHB bonding tape (the stuff used for GoPro adhesive mounts, which is adequate to stick something to the wing of a plane).
