VersaTrue Mounting Systems Creates Aisle Congestion
By ANN Correspondent Rose Dorcey
Aircraft owners at AOPA Expo need look no further if they are
hoping to find a mounting system for their portable GPS units.
Gamber-Johnson Company, a Stevens Point (WI) based manufacturer of
vehicle mounting systems, recently introduced the VersaTrue
mounting systems. The VersaTrue mounting system is designed to
provide a sleek and reliable way to mount GPS units and other small
devices to their vehicles.
These new ball and socket mounts position GPS units in virtually
any airplane, and they look good, too. The strong, yet appealing
design includes a simple cam lever for easy adjustments, rubber
balls for shock/vibration suppression and a built-in security
component.
Judging by the congestion on the Expo floor, VersaTrue mounting
systems are a popular item. Rebecca Garski, product manager, said
sales and interest in the product are high.
"Our customers are looking for a sleek mounting application,
with mounts that are easy to adjust and install. We are a consumer
friendly company - we ship most orders in one - two business
days."
The ISO 9001:2000-certified company, in business since 1984, has
a cool website where you can build and order your system. In a
short series of questions, you'll be asked what you are mounting
(GPS unit, cell phone, small computers) and what you are mounting
it to (airplane, ATV, boat). Once the vehicle is selected, you
choose from various makes and models. Seconds later, the site
provides the recommended mounting system for your needs. Most
systems can be purchased for around $100.
Quality materials are used on these versatile units. Stainless
steel shafts, cam lever and hardware offer maximum support and
corrosion resistance. Powder-coated paint weathers tough
environments. Aluminum device mounts are lightweight and match hole
patterns for most GPS handheld receivers.
