Is there any information on the speed rating before the suction cup comes off?

I was doing 115 mph and it held secure. But I still use a safety lanyard (short piece of parachute cord) just in case. Super stable, with absolutely no vibration from wind or flex in the mount, whether mounted on outside of windshield or side of door. Excellent product!

The suction cup mount is very solid and should perform very well on a smooth surface. So far, I've used it for inside windshield applications and it is excellent. The RAM arm does elevate the camera higher than the GoPro suction cup mount, which might provide some vibration in extreme cases. With that said, the RAM connections are very rigid so I don't anticipate an issue with outside applications.

The unit has a suction cup with a material that is very sticky that seals so well that the bond is very strong. My dashboard has a typical hard plastic surface that is not absolutely smooth; the texture is a pebbly faux leather with very small, rounded bumps. Also, the dash is slightly curved where my unit is mounted. Nevertheless, the iOttie has stayed in place since I mounted it two months ago. With respect to your question about removal, yes, it was easy for me to remove it from the dashboard when I repositioned it during initial mounting. I cannot speak to how easy it would be if I removed it now, but have no reason to believe it would be different. Removal was not a matter of releasing the lever on the suction cup ... that was step 1. I used the tip of a plastic knife to gently lift the edge of the suction cup up enough to allow air into the center, then peeled the unit off. It left a little sticky residue--very slight--that wiped off with a damp cloth. The iOttie remounted easily immediately thereafter and has stayed put ever since.

I have'nt used the disk myself. The suction cup works well on my textured dash. The adhesive backing on the disk I suspect is harmless. Any Residue can be removed with mineral spirits. I purchased the Arkon # mg279.

Gregory,You may also want to get the friction mount versus using the suction mount that comes with the unit. I ordered one at Amazon.com for about $28 (free shipping). The suction mount leaves a mark on the windshield that can be spotted by thiefs who might then break into your vehicle looking for your gps.You can hide the friction mount under your seat and then take the gps with you (best idea) or at least hide it somewhere (best not to put it in the glove compartment).Happy Thanksgiving.Allanwww.nosweatspeaking.com

You would need a smooth surface like a windshield to mount/stick the suction cup before you can use it For that purpose.

it's not listed on the product, but you can buy a suction cup Go Pro off brand for $10. I've gotten one, and it's awesome!

yeah, my issue was having it in my car for 2-3 months and then removing it to us in my wife's car and/or rentals on trips. the rubber baked into the windshield and once you got the cup removed it left bits on the windshield and make the surface of the rubber rough, that then made it impossible to "suction" back on.****disclaimer: loved the unit-unitl it was stolen!****

It is, theres a lever on the back of the suction cup that releases the tension of the actual cup, then the little tab up top helps break the suction seal. The suction cup itself is a very sticky rubber, and could easy become stuck with lint or debris when not attached. But a quick whip of a wet cloth cleans it off like new. Moving the actual radar detector on and off is as simple as pushing the button on the top of the radar detector to release it. Hope this helps.

If you have the GPS module plugged in, it records speed. can be incriminating, so i opt'd to not get the GPS module as i have in-dash gps with all that stuff

Yup used to have the same problem, change the surface( the smoother the better ) and clean before put the suction cup.

It´s fairly easy to switch between vehicles, but I am not sure if the suction cup would wear out prematurely, since it is pretty thick and sturdy.

It's very moveable, i actually was unable to use it at all. Unless your dash is very flat and level the weight of the arm and phone/GPS causes it to fall over. Its not really adhesive at all, just a tacky disk. I had better luck mounting to the windshield with the suction cup.

Hi there...I looked long and hard for the suction cups by themselves to no avail. Wound up buying another unit. Good luck!

I gave it to my cousin as a Christmas gift, so really have no idea. I would think just pull it off the window, clean it and suction cup it back up.

Yes, very nice suction cup... works well, better than others I've had in the past.
