Getting Started with Mountech: A Step by Step Guide
Introduction
Getting started with Mountech is pretty straightforward. The whole idea behind the system is simple: create a mounting setup that actually works in the real world. Whether you want to mount your phone in your truck, secure a device on a boat, or add a stable platform for a camera or GPS, Mountech mounts are built to stay put and adjust easily.
The first step? Figure out what you're mounting.
Step 1: Figure Out What You’re Mounting
Are you mounting a phone in your car or truck for navigation? Setting up a device on a boat? Adding a mount to a bike, motorcycle, or UTV? The environment matters because different setups work better depending on how and where you plan to use them.
It also helps to think about how you want the mount to function. Do you want something you can operate with one hand? Are you mounting a heavier device like a tablet? Do you need extra reach or adjustability?
Once you know how you plan to use it, choosing the right Mountech setup becomes much easier.
Step 2: Look Through the Mountech System
Mountech uses a modular system made up of three main components: bases, arms, and device holders. Each part works together so you can build a setup that fits your specific situation.
The bases are AMPS compatible, which means they work with a wide range of mounting platforms and accessories. This makes it easy to integrate a Mountech mount into existing setups or vehicle mounting solutions.
We also offer curated bundles that pair Mountech mounts with a BuiltRight Industries dash mount. Every vehicle has a different dash layout, and mounting locations can vary a lot from one model to another.
If one of the bundles doesn’t quite match what you’re looking for, you can always piece together the exact mount you want buy building your own setup using components. This lets you select your ideal base, arm length, and device holder so you can customize the setup exactly how you want it.
Step 3: Pick the Right Arm Length
Arm length plays a big role in how your mount feels and functions.
Mountech offers three options: short (1"), medium (3") , and long arms (6"). The right one depends on your device size and where the mount will sit in your vehicle.
Short arms keep things compact and stable. Medium arms give you a little more reach and flexibility. Long arms are great when the mounting point is farther away or you need additional adjustability.
Step 4: Choose a Device Holder
Next comes the device holder.
Right now, Mountech offers a clamp-style phone holder designed to keep your device secure while still allowing quick access. It’s built to hold your phone firmly even in rough driving conditions. It will accommodate up to 3.25" wide phones, so if youve got something larger you may need a different option.
We also have a couple other mounts, including MagSafe-compatible holders and GoPro mounts, and are always working on more which will expand the system for even more applications.
The key is simply making sure the holder matches your device so everything stays secure while you’re driving, riding, or working.
Step 5: Install Your Mount
Once you have all the components selected, installation is quick and straightforward.
Mountech mounts are designed to be easy to install, and each product includes clear instructions to walk you through the process. Most setups can be installed in just a few minutes with basic tools.
Once everything is mounted, you can adjust the arm and holder until your device sits exactly where you want it.
Step 6: Use It and Adjust as Needed
With the mount installed, you’ll start to notice the difference right away.
Your device stays where you put it, it’s easy to reach, and you can adjust the position whenever you need to. Whether you’re using your phone for navigation, controlling music, recording footage, or keeping a device visible while working, a solid mount makes everything easier.
The goal with Mountech is simple: build a mounting system that works reliably and holds up to everyday use.
Conclusion
Getting started with Mountech really just comes down to understanding what you want to mount and choosing the right components for your setup.
With modular bases, different length arms, and device holders designed for real-world use, the system can be configured for a wide range of vehicles and applications. Whether you go with one of our curated bundles or build a mount from scratch, the process is simple and flexible.
Once everything is installed, you get a mounting solution that keeps your device secure, accessible, and right where you need it.
And that’s really the whole point.
