catalyst install

[mikerunt]

Took some advice and grabbed a Catalyst. I was thinking of how to mount and it securely and after combing through some past posts I decided to go with a Pro Clip solution. From what I can tell it’s robust and sturdy enough to support. I have the arm mounted down to hopefully lessen the shear weight / load on the clip itself. Feels very sturdy, but will for sure after tomorrow at Streets.

Interesting. Does the clip come off or does it have to stay in the car?

It is removable, but is very secure with opposing pressure that is created by how the clips are positioned. I’ll report more tomorrow after it’s in application.

They work great. I have two in my GTS, one for my phone and one for my AIM Solo2DL. Never an issue on the track using them.

Thanks, looks like a solid setup... on the site I easily see the appropriate base mount for our car, but what "device holder" did you pair it with? I see they make something specifically for Catalyst but that doesn't appear to be what you have, looks like you are using a generic ball plate, then the rest of the stuff supplied with the Catalyst?

That’s correct - I and using the ball plate that came with the catalyst and hard mounted it to the pro clip. I drilled the 4 holes on the ball plate out of the pro clip and got countersunk bolts to sit flush.

It is very very sturdy and I’m happy with how it came out. I can also swap out an iPhone mount from ram that uses the same “b” size ball easily for the day to day.
