AOPA Expo '04: Looking for a Mount at AOPA Expo

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.
