UPDATED!!Thickness on the Phone Mount Phone part in the file hirarchy improved from 3mm to 5mm
To assemble the mechanism, you will require:
A wire or similar material for the hingeElastic components to securely mount the phoneThe back panel is designed to slide into the webbing and is further secured with elastic, ensuring a stable and reliable fit.
I have personally hiked with my combat rig using this design, and it has not presented any issues. While this does not equate to true battlefield conditions, it has proven to be reliable under strenuous use. The design is ideal for use with the ATAK app and features a 90-degree lockout for hands-free operation.
If you field test this in more demanding conditions and experience any failures, please report them. I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding how and where the failure occurred, as this information will help improve future iterations.
