Hello,

OT, I know, but...I'm frequently driving rental cars and am looking for a lightweight tool for mounting iPhone in cars. I tried using a GorillaPod around the rear-view mirror but its legs get tangled. I also tried an in-vent device but these don't work in all cars.

Does anyone have ideas - maybe from the professional video world! - on portable ways to mount iPhone in a car so it's highly visible but not blocking? Bonus points if it helps with video work.

Thank you!!
Ben

Most modern rental cars have a touch screen built into the dash which will interface with your phone for phone calls and navigation so there is no need to mount your phone so you can see it.

I'm renting low-budget cars. :) I found this rearview mirror mount [https://www.vantrue.net/Goods/detail/gid/58.html] but it doesn't seem flexible enough to accommodate all rearview mirrors.

How do people mount cameras to rearview mirrors when shooting footage inside cars?

We use suction cup mounts, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search/BI/2855/KBID/3801 then add an iPhone mount to it. Lots to choose from in both categories.

Thank you! I appreciate your help.
