Default Device mounting

Hello,

I have run through a few options trying to get the best mounting for my iPhone 6.
( props to this thread for giving me a start: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...od-mounts.html)

I tried a couple of mount options:
1) PanaVise Indash (75104-804)
2) Pro.fit Vehicle Specific Mount (CH-52-04-L)

Then tried these holders with each mount:
3) PanaVise Portagrip with T Button Tipper/ Adj wheel (15585 )
4) Ram Mount X-Grip Universal (RAM-HOL-UN7BU)

And used these extension arms also:
5) Long Ram Arm (RAM-B-103U) and Ram AMPS Ball Base (RAM-B-347U)
6) Short Ram Arm (RAP-B-201U-A) and Ram AMPS Ball Base (RAM-B-347U)
(these Ram options are nice as it allows the device unlimited angle adjustments, so as to allow the passenger to view a movie for example)

Through much mix and matching, I found the following:

#1 has the cleanest look installed, however it has too much flex to keep the device steady while driving.
#2 also has some flex, but can be wedged to eliminate it
#3 by itself on the mounts is too close to and blocks the controls (HVAC/Audio)
#4 is good but takes two hands to load the device
#5 is too long IMO

So the final verdict is #2 with some rubber chair leg protectors on the back to wedge from flexing and to keep it from rubbing the dash plastic. This is then connected to #4 with #6.
-Pro.fit CH-52-04-L
-Ram RAP-B-201U-A
-Ram RAM-B-347U
-Ram RMA-HOL-UN7BU
-Two self adhesive rubber anti skid pads from any hardware (black or silver)

#1/ 4/ 5 combo: [Too much flex/vibration on the road]
