FMA Navigation Board Rotary GPS/Smartphone Holder — Black

The FMA Navigation Board Rotary is a swivelling tactical mount for GPS units and smartphones, designed for operators and hunters who need to keep their navigation or communication device accessible while on the move. Built in Kydex and compatible with MOLLE systems via a 4x2 PALS attachment, it takes up minimal space on the kit while keeping the screen fully visible regardless of body orientation.

The 180° rotation mechanism across three preset angles lets you switch between portrait and landscape reading without removing the device, adapting the display to your posture and current activity. This type of articulation is particularly useful during fast movement or in operational kit, when quickly checking a map without using both hands makes a real difference.

Retention relies on a combination of elastic bungee cords and velcro straps, compatible with most smartphones even with a protective case fitted. This attachment method is quick to apply and remove and adapts to different form factors without tools, but offers lower retention than a rigid holster or a system with a mechanical locking catch: anyone operating in environments with a high risk of physical contact or frequent falls should consider whether the elastic-velcro restraint is adequate for their context. The total weight of the mount is 196 g and the dimensions are 210x42x93 mm.

Key points

• The 180° rotation across three positions allows the screen to be read in portrait or landscape without detaching the device from the kit.
• The MOLLE attachment at 4x2 cells keeps the profile compact and does not take space from adjacent pockets on a plate carrier or chest rig.
• Kydex construction provides a rigid frame that does not deform under the weight of the device, even with bulky cases fitted.
• The elastic-velcro system accommodates smartphones and GPS units of different sizes without additional accessories, though retention is lower than a system with a mechanical catch.
• Compatibility with devices in protective cases reduces the need to remove the cover before mounting.
