[The Guru]

If you've been keeping up to date with reviews on SPG then you'll have read my musings on the HTC HD Mini recently provided to us by O2. As we tend to go on a fair number of mini-breaks around the UK one lack we had as far as the Mini was concerned was mounting it in the car for navigation.

Luckily our good friends at DSL developments came yet again to our rescue and provided us with the 'Active Holder, Tilt Swivel with cig plug. HTC HD Mini', Brodit item number 512142.

This arrived packaged as per usual by Brodit in a plastic bag which contained the mount itself, the instructions and a bag of mounting screws. For a new user to the world of Brodit you'd also have to purchase a matching Brodit Mount for your car, but as an existing Brodit user it was easier for me - all I had to do was unscrew my current active mounts universal joint and screw the mount for the HD Mini in place.

As you can see the mount comprises the mounting bracket itself and a trailing 'active' power lead which ends in a car power adaptor (cigarette lighter socket). Once fixed onto the Brodit mount and the power plugged in the Mini can then be slid into place. Power feeds into the mount via the active lead and from the micro-USB mount directly into the HD Mini,giving plenty of power for hands free phone calls or satellite navigation.

As always with Brodit the Mini is held very firmly and even when driving at speed over bumpy roads there is no problem with vibration or movement - the Mini is held safe and securely.

To conclude: Yet again another well engineered mount from Brodit, proved with speed and efficiency by DSL.

Oh and please excuse the dusty last photograph - the sun was very bright and I'd dusted the screen twice - sigh

Looks good.

Looks good D. Good to see Brodit continuing to bring at mounts for new devices and good to see DSL stocking them!!

[tonybro]

Looks good. Is it just me or does the phone look a bit small in the holder?

Brodit devices are very good....

[fowljr]

Do you mean that the holder is large when compared to the device? One thing I like about Brodit mounts is what Daron mentions, the ability to swap them easily once you have a ProClip in place.

[tonybro]

No, the holder doesn't look big but the phone looks small in it!

Also I use Brodit for the reasons you mention too. Once the ProClip is in place, off you go....

[The Guru]

The holder could maybe have been a bit smaller, but then if that was done you'd probably lose the secure strong fit and gain device wobble or vibration.

Nice lock screen on the HD mini D.

[Boz]

Very nice Daron, the holder looks sweet to me, spot on service from DSL Developments as usual I see.

[The Guru]

I thought you might like teh lock screen

Oh and yes DSL came up trumps as always!
