Gilsson UBM-1 Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount

Product Description

gilsson Portable Beanbag Mount is a great base to mount your Garmin, Magellan, Mio, TomTom, Mio, Lowrance, Motorola, Apple iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Cell Phone, MP3 or other portable electronics devices.Beanbag weighs almost 2 pounds, just heavy enough to make sure your electronic device stay at the same place despite of sudden or abrupt maneuvering. gilsson tested it in various sedans and sports cars and found gilsson's beanbag mount very stable and works great.This portable mount is also great, because it does not leave any ugly adhesive residues on your dashboard and allows you to hide the GPS from thieves when exiting your vehicle.

works great sticks right where you place it easy to remove and set on the floor of the car when you leave the vehicle only complaint was the high cost for shipping


The good thing about this beanbag is that the mounting platform is at the top, so the beanbag doesn't get in the way of cables very much. I'm using it with the TomTom GO 730. The TomTom windshield mount is short, so I doubt that it works with beanbags where the platform is down inside the beanbag. The Gilsson has very good non-skid material on the bottom. It never moved.


Does this thing have a center that is plastic or metal. I have the round one that has the center pice that is "PLASTIC" does anyone know what happens to plastic when you put it in on the dash???? Remember the old casetes the would not play after you left them in the sun or in the back window? If you are old enought you remember the old 45's that you carred around in the back window and them tryed to play them, it was like going on a back dirt road. Anyway puting this thing in the sun will worp the plastic center as mine did and now the thing will not hold the GPS. I plan on cutting out the center out and replacing it with a pice of METAL.


Yes, the shipping is more than the item itself, but trust me...it's so worth it!
I had issues with my Tomtom XLS suction mount even sticking to my windshield, the little plastic disk that you can stick to your dashboard didn't work either. Based on the reviews I decided to get this mount and I am so glad I did!
I live in a city known for it's hills and HORRIBLE roads (potholes! Oh my god!!!!). This little beanbag stays in place and doesn't budge at all!!!!
Absolutely worth ANY price!


I ordered this Gilsson UBM-1 GPS dashboard mount for my Garmin C580 GPS only two days ago and received it today. It is very well constructed and a little heavier than some competing products (meaning it should be more stable). Before purchasing, I looked at several competing products (like the "Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount for Nüvi Series and StreetPilot C5XX Series GPS Navigators", "Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad", and others. Based upon some of the reviews I read from all the units, I ended up purchasing this unit. One reviewer in particular had actually owned three GPS beanbag mounts and thought this was the best. It is heavier than most, but has a smaller footprint than the Garmin unit, which is important to me because my dashboard already has a some clutter (a compass) glued to the center of it, meaning space is at a premium. Also, the GPS mounts at the top of the beanbag, not in a hole, which I considered to be an advantage.

I purchased this Gilsson UBM-1 GPS beanbag dash mount from an independent seller on amazon.com (fis4her_gps_gear ) for $12.99 plus $5.99 for priority mail shipping. The item was shipped within a couple hours after I ordered and arrived at my home in Michigan (from california) in just two days. I highly recommend them also.



I own a Tomtom edition 3. I have 2 cars, a 2007 Scion TC and a 2004 Pontiac Vibe. Both have oddly shaped dashboards and the TC has a sloping windshield that prevented use of standard mounts. No matter my driving this mat DOES NOT MOVE!! Short of an accident, I don't think it will. I would recommend this product to anyone with a GPS!!


This takes up less space than the similar donut-shaped version I saw in a retail store, and it costs much less too. Another key advantage is that the smooth surface isn't recessed very far; if it's too recessed the bottom edge of your GPS screen might be obscured by the rim of the beanbag.

The bottom is nice and grippy and stays put well - and when you park your car, just lift the whole thing off your dash and hide it under the seat or in the glovebox - no tell-tale suction cup marks to tip off thieves.


at first I was a little skeptic about its capability to hold still and not roll over on me while driving. to be honest I could quite figure out its quality from the display picture. so I took a leap of faith and bought it for my iPhone three months ago. and i have never stopped using it since. its the best thing if you're not to comfortable with sticking those permanent adhesive smooth surfaced stickers on your car's precious dashboard or where ever. and best part is, it doesnt matter where you are and how bad you're drivng. it'll still hold. ;)


This stays in place perfectly on my dash. It's easy to stash the GPS, suction-cupped to the beanbag, in the trunk when it's not in use. No telltale suction-cup ring on the windshield to invite thieves. My only complaint is that the screen of my GPS can't be tilted precisely where I want it, but you can shift the beanbag to get a better view.


This product not only works well but is a lot
cheaper than the Bracketron unit. Shop around
Amazon. Both units are priced very differently
depending what seller you but from.
