Original question:
Sep 7, 2012, 3:34pm		 Concerned About Weight, DeWat, DC Area
I would like to use this mount with a Uniden HomePatrol scanner. My concern is that because the HomePatrol is touch screen controlled and a little weighty (just under 1 pound NOT including the 4 AA batteries), and my cup holders are a large diameter, that this mount may be a little tipsy and not very secure in the cup holder. I'm not worried about the mount falling out of the cup holders due to their depth, but I am concerned that there may be a lot of wiggling and rotating. Is there a way to add weight to the inside of the mount? If so, ideas on doing so would also be greatly appreciated.

Sep 10, 2012, 9:10am		 The cup holder mount is already weighted and you will not be able to add more weight easily. One pound is not a lot of weight for this system. The biggest issue will be the size of your cup holder. You want this to fit snug to prevent it from tipping. I don't think adding weight will help. What is the Inner diameter of the cup holder and its depth?
