It uses suction as the original but has more holding ability.

Nice snug fit. Works well with the garmin dash cam. Works with garmin mini 2, although it does look goofy because it's 3 times the size of the camera itself.

Small in size but easy to tighten to car ac vent by the simple knob. Air conditioner vent keeps the gps cool and easy to access. This type seems to tighten better and the hooked edge makes it catch the vent lip better.

Used device for holding garmin gps. Once installed it is very sturdy and it holds my gps very effectively. The camera is now firmly attached to the windscreen.
