Wow! This is Giz Wiz Show 3 of year 16! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20^th 2006!) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we're now going into year 16. If it wasn't for our supporters the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

We start this week's show with the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Dashboard & Windshield Car Mount Phone Holder

I wanted to mount a smartphone on the windshield of my Farallon Workboat to use it as a security camera. (See link below for Alfred Camera that lets you do that.) So I needed a really decent mount that could take the pounding of waves from storms and wakes around my boat. The iOttie Easy One Touch 5 looked decent and had good reviews on Amazon, so I bought that. I nearly bought the model 4, but fortunately saw the “there's a newer model of this” just in time. The model 5 is said to have a new larger Easy One Touch button and a cradle that allows for wider device & case compatibility. Plus an improved telescopic arm that extends further and pivots. And finally the newer model has a redesigned suction cup with an improved sticky gel formula that provides a stronger, lasting hold. You'll see how it worked out in the video we shot aboard my boat. On Amazon both the model 4 and the newer model 5 were selling for the same price, about $25.00.
