Our good friends over at DSL Developments have supplied us with one of the first Brodit mounts for the HTC HD7. The mount in question is the Active model which is suitable for powering via a cigarette lighter socket. [Product code: 512220].
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.
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 the HD7 can then be slid into place. Power feeds into the mount via the active lead and from there directly into the HD7, giving plenty of power for hands free phone calls or satellite navigation.
As always with Brodit the HD7 is held very firmly and even when driving at speed over bumpy roads there is no problem with vibration or movement - the phone is held safe and securely.
It is worth mentioning that the tilt swivel is the new improved design which allows more tension in the joint and is therefore mechanically stronger.
One other point of note is that there is a 'cut out' portion in the base of the mount which allows room for the headset to be connected to the HD7 while mounted in situ.
To conclude: Yet again another well engineered mount from Brodit, proved with speed and efficiency by DSL.
Pros and Cons:
A good sturdy mount designed by experts No vibration or movement in the phone when driving at speed Ensures a good level of power for operation when making calls or navigating Reasonably priced Designed specifically for the HD7
