How do you put everything back together? mine fell apart and i cant re-assemble it properly

Get a replacement or buy the alternative setup that was posted here.

Hi, do you still use this setup and still recommand this ?

I do and its still the same parts as back when i posted it.

Well, my cup broke today, I’ve glued it with a plastic repair glue but I don’t think it will hold for long, I’ll check it tomorrow.

Just in case I ordered from Amazon what Saltyone ordered.

I just taped mine to the Handy which held pretty well lol. The ring and bottle holder Saltyone advised never broke though. Hoping it never breaks for you too.

It is so suprising to see a product encounter so much different problems.
For me my problem is localise on the C-shape clamp ( the screwing hole ( sorry bad english ) has worned out so it doesn’t screw anymore ) second time that happens to me in 3 months :smiley: I’m just screwing the damn thing it is just poorly engineered…
Thanks for sharing all those alternate solutions I’m gonna look into that but I hope I’ll get a refund from Handy.

Yeah that happened to me 2 or 3 times too. The screw thread basically just peeled off like it’s made of really soft metal. The first time I thought it was because I screwed it too tight, but then it happened twice more lol.

I just want to add that I’ve been very easily refunded on the product, after one exchange obtained very easily
The product sucks but the client service is perfect.
Good points should be taken in account as well :slight_smile:

Hi, I’ve considering getting a desk mount for the hands free experience, but I noticed that everyone has wooden table and I have a glass one. Is there a setup that accommodates for glass desks?

Honestly if you have a glass table and even if someone had a setup, I wouldn’t recommend clamping anything to it. Its glass. Glass is sturdier than a particle board tabletop from ikea but if a particle board cracks its in one place; if the glass cracks, its all gone.

edit: if youre going to clamp anything, it should be metal or wood and it has to be sturdy enough to absorb the movement that the mount is trying to hold.

Well that’s a damper. I do have a repurposed bedside table that is wooden. I may have the put on the clamp sideways, which I wonder if that is safe. I don’t think there is a spot to clamp onto like a normal desk, unless I do the bottom of the cubby it has. It seems otherwise fairly sturdy enough.

Like some people suggest using wood blocks to spread out the force of the clamp for a glass desk but the thing is one too many turns on the clamp means the whole thing goes.

Clamping it sideways might work but it will possibly slip due to the direction of the forces while in motion. A clamp on a table is on the topside and underside so when the motions go up and down there’s nowhere for it to move, but if you shimmy it side to side, you could slide it off.

This is something to take note of cause if the Handy is going really fast the last thing you want is for it to be on your appendage and for the clamp to slip.

I think other people have managed mounts(not the exact official handy mount but diy’d solutions) to their chairs, side tables, and what not. Main things are make sure the mount is stable, as well as the base and test it at the max speed you’ll use it at w/o being in it.
