KENU mount

 

Airframe+ ? And it grips strongly enough so that it doesn't wobble on the lip of the scuttle? Looks like that might be the ticket ...

EXACTLY!!  I liked mine in the Seven so much, I bought another, and had a friend fabricate a mount, so I could use it in my Elise!

Care to share the Elise mount setup? I haven’t found a suitable Elise phone mount.

Several years ago, I bought a simple, spring-aluminum strip from somebody on LotusTalk.  (Sorry - I cannot find the post anymore!)

It just fits over the dash - clips over the top edge of the dash, to underneath.  The maker suggested some complicated mount for a phone, which I didn't care for.

A friend just bolted a horizontal bar to the front of it, and the Kenu mount grips that horizonal bar perfectly!  I have not had a problem with it.

 

Good luck!

ProClip sells a very similar mount for the Elise that works very well. No vibration, seconds to remove and install, and doesn't leave a mark:  https://www.proclipusa.com/products/855407-proclip-center-mount-lotus-elise-2012-20xx-lotus-exige-2012-20xx

That looks good; not exactly like mine, and, like mine, you'd need to fabricate and attach a horizontal piece to attach the Kenu - if that's your choice.

I was all set to buy the Kenu but then I saw this new Pioneer (yes Pioneer, for some reason) magnetic mount that also has a little adjustable stabilizing arm below the clip that might work really well on the dash. I think this might be the one, but I'm hoping for a sale.

As promised, this went on sale for Give Jeff Bezos Money Day and I ordered one. I'll give a report soon! I'm hoping for superior grip strength on the lip of the scuttle without permanently mounting anything, but we'll see. Next up is actually wiring some USB power into the car for the phone. (I didn't go with a magnetic charger as wired charging is still superior in my opinion... as long as you remember to plug it in)

I know I should have waited until I could actually drive with it before making another post, but my car is still mid-oil change (don't ask, actually I made a thread about that) so I just test-fitted it in the garage. The clamp feels okay but there's definitely flex in the whole setup given how far it extends out from the clamp.

 

The little adjustable stabilizing arm seems  good though. Finding a spot that doesn't block gauges is another story. Hopefully I'll get out for a drive to test it soon!
