Create a Custom iBOLT Mounting Solution- now on Amazon.com

iBOLT Mounts is part of the Amazon Custom program, which means you can combine Amazon Prime shipping with a mounting setup that is actually built for your equipment, your vehicle, or your workspace. Instead of buying a fixed mount and hoping it fits, you choose a base, an arm, and a device holder separately, and iBOLT assembles them into one ready-to-install kit.

This matters because most mounting failures come down to mismatched parts: a base rated for a flat dash but installed on a rounded surface, an arm too short to clear a steering column, or a holder sized for a phone trying to carry a tablet. Building your own combination from compatible, industry-standard parts removes most of that guesswork.

How the iBOLT Amazon Custom System Works

The system is built around three decisions, in order:

1. Base: how and where the mount physically attaches (windshield, cup holder, seat rail, drilled surface, clamp, forklift pillar, and more).
2. Arm: the length and material that positions your device where you can see and reach it.
3. Device holder: the cradle or adapter that actually grips your phone, tablet, scanner, or VESA-mount display.

Every Amazon listing starts from a specific base. On that listing, you select your arm length and material, then your device holder. iBOLT kits the parts in-house and ships the same day if the order is placed before 1 PM PST.

Before you pick anything, walk your install location and note three things: the mounting surface material, how much vibration or movement it sees (vehicle cab, forklift, treadmill, boat helm), and how far the device needs to sit from that surface to clear knees, steering wheels, or handlebars. That short walk-through prevents most return requests.

Step 1: Choose Your Mounting Base

All iBOLT bases here use a 1 inch / 25mm ball, the same industry-standard size used across most vehicle, warehouse, and fitness mounting hardware. That standardization is what lets you mix and match arms and holders freely once you've picked a base.

	Suction Cup Base An 80mm composite suction base with a rubber-coated 1 inch / 25mm ball joint, built for smooth flat surfaces like windshields, dashboards, mirrors, and tables. It rinses clean with water and air dries for reuse, so it holds up to repeated repositioning rather than being a one-time stick. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	Cup Holder Base A composite base with a rubber-coated ball joint that expands to fit cup holders from 2.5" to 3.5" in diameter. It works in cars, trucks, vans, and commercial vehicles, and it's a practical choice when you don't want to drill or clamp anything. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	Seat Rail Base (FlexPro Gooseneck) A heavy-duty floor pedestal mount compatible with 1 inch / 25mm dual-ball arms and adapters. It installs directly on the passenger seat's front left mounting screws, and the flexible 18" gooseneck holds position under normal driving vibration. Includes brackets for either seat rail or drill-base mounting, which makes it a common choice for work trucks and fleet vehicles. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	AMPS Pattern Drill Base (Composite) A rectangular composite AMPS plate with a rubber-coated ball joint, using the industry-standard 30x38mm 4-hole AMPS pattern. It's compatible with existing AMPS adapter plates and vehicle-specific mounts, which is useful if you're replacing a base without redoing your whole setup. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	AMPS Pattern Drill Base (Metal) The same 30x38mm AMPS 4-hole pattern in sturdy aluminum instead of composite, for installs that see more load, heat, or repeated device changes. Compatible with all industry-standard 1 inch / 25mm arms and existing AMPS hardware. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	AMPS Pattern Drill Base (Round Aluminum) Same 30x38mm AMPS pattern and aluminum construction, in a round footprint instead of rectangular. Useful when a square or rectangular plate won't clear a curved surface or nearby hardware. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	Seat Wedge Base A composite wedge that fits into the gap between the front seat and center console and adjusts to that width. No drilling or permanent hardware, so it moves easily between vehicles. It works for both front-seat and back-seat center console viewing. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	C-Clamp Base A metal clamp base that adjusts from 0.25" to 1.6", suited to tripods, desks, carts, worktables, benches, and lecterns. Good for stationary indoor setups where you need a firm grip on a table edge rather than a permanent mount. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	Clamp Base A composite clamp base for poles, posts, and flat surfaces from 0.25" to 2.5" in diameter, compatible with all standard 1 inch / 25mm arms. It's a common fit for exercise equipment such as Peloton bikes, ellipticals, and spin bikes, and also handlebars, golf carts, wheelchairs, and utility carts. Build a custom mount from this base on Amazon: here
	Forklift Pillar Base A heavy gauge steel bracket built for forklifts, pallet jacks, and other warehouse vehicles carrying smartphones, tablets, barcode scanners, or radios. It weighs under half a pound and measures 4" x 2.75" x 1/8", small enough to avoid blocking sightlines while still holding steady through daily jolts and vibration.

Step 2: Choose Your Mounting Arm

Arm length determines how far your device sits from the base, and material affects both weight and rigidity. Shorter arms hold tighter to the base and resist flex better under vibration; longer arms give you more reach and viewing angle adjustment but can introduce more sway with heavier tablets. Metal arms add rigidity for larger or heavier devices; composite arms save weight where the load is lighter, like a phone or small scanner.

	2.75" Composite Arm A double-socket arm in composite material, measuring 2.75 inches end to end. A practical choice for phones and light devices where a compact, close-to-base position is preferred. Available to purchase separately on Amazon: here
	3.75" Composite Arm The longer composite option at 3.75 inches end to end, useful when you need extra reach to clear a console, wheel, or obstruction while keeping the arm lightweight. Available to purchase separately on Amazon: here
	2.75" Metal Arm An aluminum double-socket arm at 2.75 inches, built for added rigidity when mounting heavier tablets or devices that need a firmer hold under vibration. Available to purchase separately on Amazon: here
	3.75" Metal Arm The longer aluminum arm at 3.75 inches, for setups that need both extra reach and the added stiffness of metal, common in commercial vehicle and warehouse installs carrying tablets. Available to purchase separately on Amazon: here

Step 3: Choose Your Device Holder

The holder is what actually contacts your device, so getting the size right matters more than any other step. iBOLT offers holders across the following ranges:

• Barcode Scanner holder (small handheld scanners)
• VESA Adapter (for VESA 75/100 monitors, displays, and existing VESA-mount hardware)
• sPro2 Holder (fits devices 4.7" to 6.7" wide/tall, covering most phones and small tablets)
• xProDock Holder (fits phones horizontally, 2.59" to 3.7" wide)
• TabDock Holder (fits 7" to 10" tablets, 4" to 8" wide)
• Dock'n Lock (fits 7" to 10" tablets, 4" to 8" wide)
• Metal Locking Cradle (fits 7" to 10" tablets, 4" to 8" wide, adds a physical lock for shared or public-facing devices)
• TabDockXL (fits 7" to 18.4" tablets, including thick hand-strap cases)

If your device lives in a rugged or hand-strap case, measure the case dimensions, not the bare tablet. A holder that fits the device alone can be too tight once the case is on.

What to Verify Before You Build Your Mount

A custom combination only works as well as the fit checks behind it. Before ordering, confirm:

• Mounting surface: Is it flat and smooth (suction), drillable (AMPS), a cup holder, a seat rail, a pole or table edge (clamp), or a forklift pillar? Each base is built for one type of surface, not all of them.
• Vibration and movement: Vehicle cabs, forklifts, and exercise equipment all vibrate differently. A longer arm on a high-vibration surface will transmit more sway to the device than a short one.
• Device size and case: Match your phone or tablet's actual width, including any case, against the holder's stated range.
• Charging and cable routing: If your holder doesn't include a charging connector, plan where the charging cable will run before you finalize arm length and position.
• Removal frequency: If the device comes in and out several times a day (delivery, retail, forklift), a quick-release holder saves wear versus a friction-fit cradle.
• Security needs: For shared or public-facing devices, the Metal Locking Cradle adds physical security that a standard cradle does not.

iBOLT builds every arm and base around the 1 inch / 25mm ball standard, and every AMPS base uses the standard 30x38mm 4-hole pattern. This is what lets you swap a holder or arm later without replacing the whole mount, but always confirm the specific listing's ball size and hole pattern against your existing hardware before combining parts from different sources.

FAQ

Can I mix an iBOLT base with a non-iBOLT arm or holder?
If the other part uses a genuine 1 inch / 25mm ball or standard AMPS 30x38mm pattern, it should physically connect. Confirm the exact ball size and hole spacing on the listing before ordering, since "universal" claims vary between brands.

Which base should I pick for a work truck or fleet vehicle?
The Seat Rail Base (FlexPro) is built for that use case, installing on the seat's mounting screws and holding position through regular driving vibration. The AMPS drill bases are a solid alternative if you have a flat surface you're allowed to drill into.

Will the suction cup base hold on a textured dashboard?
No. Suction bases need a smooth, non-porous surface like glass or a polished dash. Textured or matte dash surfaces will not hold a reliable seal, so a drill base or seat mount is the better choice there.

How do I know if I need a metal or composite arm?
Choose metal for heavier tablets or higher-vibration environments like forklifts and work trucks. Composite is lighter and holds up well for phones and small scanners in lower-vibration settings.

What if my tablet has a thick protective case?
Measure the tablet with the case on and compare that width against the holder's stated range. The TabDockXL is built specifically to accommodate tablets in thick hand-strap cases up to 18.4".
