I use my CB only occasionally so I want easily removable or flip-down (and not magnetic). If this fits the bill, what all do I need?

The unit uses an already existing bolt under your hood to secure to antenna mount. It wouldn't easily flip down, as it doesn't flip, but it can be removed without any damage to your vehicle. Hope that helps.

This is a very permanent antenna mount for large fiberglass antennas. Though the mount is permanent, the antenna is not very difficult to remove with a crescent wrench. If you were to use this mount you would need coax with a Firestik fireRing connector and a Firestik fiberglass antenna. In my opinion this mount is designed for Permanent installation and not for temporary use.

I commute to work via bicycle and it cuts my battery drain in half. I like to run a GPS tracking program when I ride and it's rather battery intensive. The phone mount is all plastic but seems pretty sturdy. It hasn't dropped my phone and I have a pretty rough ride in some places. The dynamo was difficult to mount, but I have a folding bicycle and I'm sure the compact design had something to do with it.

roll pin and set screw. not inteded to flip down as it has glove clearance built in.. hope this helps.

Absolutely not! It has a bayonnette mount, which means a simple twist locks it onto the base, which is mounted to the bike. Another twist and it's off! Tuck it into your pocket and away you go!

Yes, easy to remove and relocate this model - no tools required. Note that RAM know has a new mount (not sure if it can be easily relocated as the Universal Bike Mount can be) - http://www.rammount.com/NewProducts/universalramxgripbicyclemount/tabid/4458/Default.aspx

I would not buy this one again. It has worked loose and is very difficult to tighten back up. Had to pull off rubber cover of the feed wire and do some soldering and wire cutting. It worked OK. Just got a new one as a gift and will be using that one. Look for antenna that uses the same connector as the back of the cb radio

Depends on what you got for a cb setup. I can normally reach out about ten miles on a stick cb. With a modded cb you can talk a state or two over.

Donnie, NO this will only hold compact CB's, like the Uniden 510. Thank you!

There is a little play. But I have it mounted up high on a window and I can't tell if there is a set screw. As with all window antennas "you get what you get". But I get better performance than just sticking an antenna by the window. Maybe you could use an antenna tuner between your antenna and your CB to tune it.

No, you can't fine tune ANY antenna without an SWR meter. And a high SWR will fry your radios final transistor, so buy a meter! It's something every CB'er needs, and they aren't very expensive. firestik.com/Tech_Docs/Setting_SWR.htm

That is the CB I'm using with it. You remove the rubber duckie, and attach the coax. It seems to me that having some sort of plug for the duckie mount would be nice, but you're on your own there.

I'd go for the trunk lip mount, that's what I did. There's also a magnetic mount. The best spot to mount an antenna, especially a CB is going to be on the top of the vehicle with the biggest whip you can get. Mine is a 60 inch whip so it sticks well above the roof of the car. Some folks get those firesticks and mount them in the bed of their truck and from what I've been told they barely radiate a signal forward. I just installed and and I have found CB to be mostly useless in the city anyway, and when I have needed it on the highway it does fine. My VHF/UHF antenna is TLP/NMO mount off to the side. My cb is in the center of the trunk. I don't have problems. Hope this helps. I'd go for the trunk lip mount, that's what I did. There's also a magnetic mount.

That's a good Q. I wondered the same. Even if it is a bit magnetized, I don't think it should make any difference. How about turning it around regularly ?? Or flip it over ....?? Stev

easy-it is just a little thumbscrew with ridges. It is not hard to turn and does not require a tool.

Hey! I brought this rig for my bmcc and am very happy with how it works! It is abit of a tight fit when you have the whole top piece on aswell but is workable, however I haven't needed to use the top handle and horseshoe parts of the rig on top so just leave it off. The only thing I have found abit frustrating at times is the mounting screw, which is abit fiddly, especially if you have big fingers! I believe gini rigs actually sell a separate bmcc quick release plate for the rig if it is too much of an issue. Overall I have been very happy with this rig with my bmcc and would recommend. Hey!

They pinch mount right onto the end of the handlebar with nothing else needed but it has to be a 7/8 inch diameter bar. On my CBR, they fit perfect between the bar end and the grip. You can either rotate and slide the bar end out a little, slide or cut a piece of the grip end off as wide as the mirror mount, or a little of both. This applies to the clutch side only. The throttle side would need a replacement bar end to mount this mirror properly due to the need for unrestricted movement of the throttle tube and grip. I believe CRG also sells this universal bar end. I just ran with one on the left grip to be "legal". Simple, inexpensive, and a very sleek look to the bike with one small bar mounted mirror as opposed to 2 huge donkey ear mirrors ruining the lines of any bike. Highly recommend this Mirror!!!

No. If you want a radio for CB search for CB radio. There are a couple of hand held models, but most CB radios are mobile radios. These mobile radios could be used in the house with a power supply and antenna.
