+ Very stylish, compact with no awkward 'hinge' arrangements. Looks good and you could use it at home.
- Minor point - the bracket need a screw driver to fit. If you take the bracket on and off all the time, this is a bit of a bind.

+ Great picture and great design.
- Only bad point I can find is that the battery isn't removable. Well it probably is but you'd have to take the case apart . . .

The Smart Car Mount is excellent, very easy to use & installation only took a couple of minutes.
Elegant styling & feels well made.
Sound is very good, no distortion at high levels.
Can be programmed to work region-free using the remote.
- Image quality is pretty good, good enough to watch a DVD on your travels but at very close range it could be better.

Phil, Basingstoke , “Just what you need”
+ Battery life if good at over 3hours. The picture quality is not superb but for occational use in the car does the job well. The sound is easily loud enough to hear even when driving on the worst of road.
- The car holder is not very good for young children as it is very close to them in the car seat and so gets kicked often. It also bounces quite a lot.
