Garmin Portable Friction Mount f/GLO™

Imagine cruising through turbulent skies with your Garmin GLO™ locked in place, no slips or slides distracting you from the flight path. This portable friction mount transforms your cockpit dashboard into a reliable home for your GPS/GLONASS receiver, blending rock-solid stability with effortless portability. Pilots swear by its grip that holds firm during those bumpy takeoffs and landings, yet it's light enough to toss in your flight bag for the next hop.

Why Pilots Choose This Friction Mount for Everyday Flights

Crafted for the demands of general aviation, this mount goes beyond basic holders. Its nonskid bottom clings to textured dashboards without adhesives or suction cups that fail in heat or vibration. The pliable silicone case flexes and molds to irregular surfaces—think curved panels or worn leather—creating a custom fit every time. No more fumbling with tools; just press and go.

• Unmatched Grip: High-friction base prevents movement, even on smooth or angled surfaces.
• Flexible Silicone Design: Soft yet durable material conforms perfectly, protecting your GLO™ from scratches.
• Ultra-Portable: Weighs next to nothing, packs flat, and sets up in seconds—ideal for multi-aircraft pilots or rental flyers.
• Vibration-Resistant: Stays put through prop wash and rough strips, keeping your nav data crystal clear.

Perfect Fit for Garmin GLO™ in Real-World Cockpits

Engineered exclusively for the Garmin GLO™, this mount cradles your device securely without obstructing ports or buttons. Whether you're cross-checking en route with your tablet or using it as a primary backup GPS, it positions the screen at eye level for quick glances. We've heard from VFR pilots who use it on everything from Cessnas to Pipers, praising how it outperforms bean bag mounts that shift mid-flight or rigid clamps that won't budge between planes.

Pro Tip: For extra security on super-smooth panels, pair it with a dashboard mat. Cleanup is a breeze—wipe off dust or spills without residue buildup.

Installation in Under a Minute

Getting airborne-ready is straightforward:

1. Slide your GLO™ into the silicone cradle until it clicks snug.
2. Position on your dashboard's flattest spot.
3. Press down firmly—the friction does the rest.
4. Lift and relocate anytime; no permanent marks left behind.

This setup shines in hot cockpits where adhesives melt and suction fails, making it a staple for backcountry flyers and flight instructors alike.

User Stories from the Skies

"Finally, a mount that doesn't dance around during pattern work!" shares one Cherokee owner. Another taildragger pilot notes, "It molds right over my uneven glare shield—no drilling required." These insights highlight its reliability across diverse aircraft, from trainers to warbirds.
