This mount does not come with the items displayed in the first picture. Specifically the double t slot adapter. That was of course the adapter I needed.

Great product and far better than the stock version that came with the unit. Highly recommended.

Coupled with the Gilsson Bean Bag it goes anywhere. Even fits nicely on the small dash of my Ultra Classic Harley for road trips. Small enough to put in my laptop bag for travel

I got this mount specifically for the Gilsson dashboard mount. The provided connector for my Magellan fit perfectly and this thing has been as solid as could be. I haven't tried sticking the suction cup anywhere else, but I don't think it'll ever fall off the dash pillow without me releasing it. It's a great size too for this type of application. One of my other GPS mounts was too high, bumping the windshield even at it's lowest setting.

Had a little trouble getting the mount to connect to the Tom Tom but after I did it worked fine

I have had this for a month now. I use it with the Bracketron grip-it with vent mount I previously purchased. It is convenient to use when transferring from car to car. The suction is large and does it's job really well. I don't need to push the lever very far down to get enough suction because of it size it clips down in a few clicks. Hasn't fallen once holding my DROID X in an Otterbox case.

I bought one of these for my wife's car and found it so intuitive and hassle-free that I decided I needed one for my rental car. Unlike the ridiculous TomTom goose-neck design, this one is not prone to being top-heavy.

Assembly is really easy and it lasts a long time. Once you put it together and get it orientated the way you want it, you'll probably never adjust it again.

There is one small mod that I want to point out. As is, the GPS is mounted very low which might make it harder to see depending on where you have it situated in your car. I wanted a little more altitude out of it. So here's what you do . . .

When you install the flat T-notch adapter, instead of mounting it with all 4 screws, align the bottom two holes with the upper two holes on the flat backplate (the one held in place by the swivel ball). This will give you and extra inch of altitude to your GPS. If you're not sure what to do with the leftover screws, just put them in the empty slots and fasten the nuts to them to hold them in place--this way they'll be there in the off chance you need them.

In conjunction with this GPS mount I also highly recommend the Bracketron beanbag dash mount.

This is a bit difficult to adjust properly; I had to take the Tom Tom on and off a few times to get it right. The gooseneck one is better, but this is serviceable.

In the product picture there are TWO different ball bearing type mounts. But in the box is only ONE! The box includes the ball bearing mount for the Garmin not the TomTom.

It seems that the SWM-400-BL used to be called the LOW-PRO but now that part number belongs to the Universal GPS Nav-Pro and different parts are included in the box.

Also, In order to attach it to the Magellan you have to use the satellite radio adapter stacked against the Magellan adapter. (You even have to screw the parts together so you will need a screwdriver and a small wrench.) Once you add all of these adapters it does NOT work well with the Nav-Mat. All of the stacked mounts make it very long, so it does not rest very well on the edge of the Nav-Mat if you need a low profile adapter.

I do not recommend it for a Magellan as it attaches to the unit like an afterthought. (Yes, this is how it is represented in the instructions.) Also, it does not have the TomTom adapter.

However, the product looks durable and well built.

Purchased new windshield mount 2 months ago. Seems to be belt better than the one that comes with the garmin. Has a bigger suction cup and bigger assembly.You couldnt see the moumt, that comes with the garmin, but you can see this one.Use it at work everyday, has to be taken off and mounted daily.No problems. satisfied so far.
