Car air conditioner outlet installation type holder 'AIR GRIP +' review that can firmly fix smartphones and tablets

One of the challenges in using various car navigation apps such as '

Drive Supporter by NAVITIME ', ' Portable Smiley Road ', ' Yahoo! Car Navi ', ' Apple Maps ', and ' Google Maps' is how to fix a smartphone or tablet. That's where. This time, I tried using 'AIRAGRIP + ', which is very easy to install and remove because it is only attached to the louver of the air conditioner, and has a stabilizer and a high sense of stability.

The AIR GRIP + package looks like this.

The contents are an instruction manual that doubles as the main body, stabilizer, and warranty card.

There were two types of stabilizers, one was attached to the main body.

Looking at the main body from the front, it looks like this. The part that sandwiches the smartphone etc. is a soft material like silicon.

The inner width is about 6 cm in actual measurement.

Push one of the two knobs at the bottom inward to expand the bar.

The inner width when expanded to the maximum is about 19 cm in actual measurement.

The 3rd generation 11-inch 'iPad Pro' with a short side of 178.5 mm can also be installed with a margin of about 1 cm.

With the bar open, push in the protrusion in the center of the main unit ...

The bar shrinks with a clicking sound.

When attaching a smartphone etc. to the main body, it is OK if you widen the width of the bar sufficiently and push the protrusion through the smartphone.

It will be fixed firmly so that it will not fall even if you shake it. It can be removed by pushing in the knob at the bottom and expanding the bar.

Of course, it is OK to sandwich the short side.

The back of the main body looks like this.

The head part is a ball joint.

The mobility of the ball joint can be adjusted with screws.

The clip part attached to the air conditioner outlet looks like this. Rubber is attached to the inside.

If you loosen the screw at the base of the clip ...

The width of the clip increases. The inner width of the opening is actually 3mm-4mm.

The width of the stabilizer to stabilize the main body can be adjusted in 2 steps. Since it is a flexible material, you can adjust it to some extent.

If you replace the stabilizer with the attached one, it looks like this.

The types of car air conditioners that AIR GRIP + is compatible with are as follows.

I will actually install it. First of all, attach it so that the blade of the car air conditioner is sandwiched between the clip and the stabilizer.

And if you tighten the screw of the clip firmly, it's OK.

It was installed like this.

When I actually put on my smartphone, it looks like this.

The tablet looks like this. If you tighten the clips and ball joints firmly, they will not shake when you touch the screen or while driving.

Thanks to the ball joint, it is possible to turn the screen toward the passenger seat side.

If the car air conditioner has few blades, you can replace the stabilizer. You can fix it like this.

AIRGRIP + is easy to install and has a great sense of stability unlike suction cups and seat types. Since the angle can be adjusted smoothly, I was able to install it so that it would not interfere with the position of the handle.

AIRGRIP + can also be purchased at Amazon.co.jp and the price is 3980 yen. In addition, Mountek , the distributor, also sells 'GRIP + ' that can be attached to the CD slot.
