I used this with the Garmin 265WT. I attached it securely and proceeded down my driveway. The GPS unit fell off and hit the pavement within 30 seconds when I hit the bump separating my driveway from the road... a small bump. Beware of this terrible product unless you can be positive you will never hit a pothole, go up a curb or hit a bump.

Although my GPS is all scratched up, it fortunately still works.

Terrible, terrible, terrible! The ball and socket joint is far too slippery. The vibration from biking causes the unit to sag, and every five minutes you need to reposition the screen. Also, on very small bumps the unit leaps clear out of the mount and goes flying. This in not only destined to destroy an expensive GPS unit, it is dangerous! I would be looking for a new way to mount the Garmin Nuvi GPS to my bike, but the unit itself is so lousy that I don't intend to keep using it. I have come to this conclusion after a solid month of testing. Don't make the mistake I did. Don't buy a Garmin Nuvi; don't buy this handlebar mount.

This is no good on a bicycle. I got this to mount my Garmin GPS on my bicycle. However, the ball on the unit is too small so the GPS doesn't grip it tightly enough. Consequently, it's so loose that after only a few hundred yards of riding, the normal bicycle vibration causes the GPS to tilt down where you can't see it any more.

Totally useless. Don't waste your money.

UPDATE - damn! - the plastic ball joint on the mount broke off in the wind and the Garmin clip mount is now lost, thank God the GPS wasn't on the bike at the time! What the hell? This thing is now gonna cost me money. Nice going... I want to change my 2 star to a 1, but I guess I can't -- but I think you get the idea...

This product worked perfectly for me for a couple of months, and then the stem broke off of the mount while riding. The only reason my GPS didn't smash on the ground was sheer luck in the direction of fall, which happened to be slow and catch-able. I fixed it with Mighty Putty (thanks Billie Mays!) and it has worked since.

Product worked as expected and continues to function well. Shipped as expected and have no issues. I would buy this product again. I have this mounted to my handlebars on my motorcycle and it holds my GPS firm and is not subject to vibrations. When the GPS is removed, the mount is very unobtrusive and does not look bad on its own. Glad that I bought it.

Truth be told, my Garmin does NOT slip, and the mount itself does not move. Works as it should.
