In-car uses

We used our Spiderpodium to attach a smartphone to our car's dashboard for music selection while streaming audio, but this is also a good position for hands-free calling and turn-by-turn navigation.

Transportable

With its easily flattened design, the Breffo Spiderpodium is easily transported, making it great for use on the go. GPS owners can leave the bulky suction cup mount in the car when pocketing their portable navigation devices.

Open-ended uses

We like that the Spiderpodium is an open-ended product that allows users to find the best applications for its flexible legs.
