Another option ....
 
I needed a mount for my Escort 360 Max detector and Blendmount looked like it was great, but a little on the expensive side.

I found this alternative from NewEgg (actually sold by a few other vendors through them):

$35.99 and I can say it works just fine for my needs.

I've had V1s since they came out in about '92. They are the best in my opinion too. I have upgraded three times through them...

Yup I got the same mount and detector... works well. I am thinking about going back to the V1 though - the MAX seems "laggy"

re: 360 Max
 
Yeah, I don't know? I just bought my 360 Max and have only used it on a few trips so far. Still learning how it works and responds to things.

I do know Escort has a recent firmware update out for it though, and I think if you own a Mac - they didn't update the Mac version of their updater software yet. So you have to do the update from the Windows version right now to get the latest code in it.

It supposedly fixes some of the sluggish changing of the arrows.

I know everyone loves the V1, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one of those, considering how long it's been on the market, basically unchanged. It looks like Escort has taken over much of the radar detector market in the last year or two, buying out companies like Uniden -- so I think they're a better bet to purchase going forward.

Thanks for the tip! I'll get the firmware updated and see if that helps...
