PilotGrip X98 Magnetic Smartphone Mount with Electronic Vacuum Suction Cup
A well-organised cockpit starts with the right positioning of your equipment. Pilots using navigation apps, digital flight documents or supplementary information displays know how important it is to keep their smartphone conveniently positioned.
The PilotGrip X98 combines an electronic vacuum suction cup with automatic re-suction, a magnetic smartphone attachment and a flexible adjustable arm.
The result is a compact mounting solution for pilots who want to position their smartphone on a suitable aircraft window or another compatible smooth surface.
Electronic Vacuum Suction with Automatic Re-Suction
The key difference compared with conventional suction mounts is the electronically controlled vacuum system.
While traditional suction cups rely entirely on the vacuum created during installation, the PilotGrip X98 can automatically reactivate suction when vacuum pressure decreases.
The electronic system helps maintain vacuum pressure and reduces the need to repeatedly press or adjust the suction cup manually.
This is particularly interesting for applications involving changing temperatures or extended use.
Position Your Smartphone on a Suitable Aircraft Window
Space is often limited in aircraft cockpits, yet pilots still want their electronic devices to remain conveniently visible.
The PilotGrip X98 can be attached to suitable clean, smooth and non-porous surfaces. These may include compatible aircraft windows, provided the window material and installation conditions allow vacuum mounting.
The adjustable arm allows you to adapt the smartphone position to your seating position and cockpit layout.
This makes it a practical option for pilots who want supplementary navigation information or digital flight documents within view.
Ideal for SkyDemon, ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot
Many pilots use smartphone applications as supplementary tools for flight planning and navigation.
With the PilotGrip X98, a compatible smartphone can be positioned for convenient viewing of aviation applications.
-
SkyDemon: Moving maps and supplementary navigation information
-
ForeFlight: Flight planning, charts and digital flight documents
-
Garmin Pilot: Navigation information and flight planning
-
Other aviation apps: Flexible smartphone positioning in the cockpit
The mount itself does not connect electronically to these applications. Compatibility depends on the smartphone and its magnetic attachment.
Automatic Re-Suction Instead of Manual Adjustment
Conventional suction cups may gradually lose vacuum pressure over time.
The PilotGrip X98 uses an electronic system that can automatically reactivate the vacuum mechanism when required.
This technology offers a convenient alternative to traditional manual suction mounts.
Automatic re-suction does not guarantee that the mount cannot detach. Attachment must be checked regularly.
Powerful Dual N52 Magnetic Ring
The magnetic smartphone attachment features a dual N52 magnetic ring.
Compatible smartphones can be attached and removed quickly and conveniently.
The silicone-covered contact surface helps protect the phone against scratches and provides a non-slip contact area.
Smartphones without a compatible magnetic attachment require a suitable magnetic adapter or case.
360° Adjustment for Portrait and Landscape Viewing
Whether viewing a navigation chart in landscape mode or using another application in portrait mode, the PilotGrip X98 offers flexible positioning.
The multi-adjustable arm allows you to adapt the viewing angle to your cockpit configuration.
- 360° rotating smartphone attachment
- Portrait and landscape orientation
- Multi-adjustable folding arm
- Flexible viewing angle adjustment
Compact and Foldable for Your Pilot Bag
After use, the PilotGrip X98 folds into a compact shape for convenient storage.
This makes it particularly interesting for pilots who regularly fly different aircraft and carry their own cockpit accessories.
The mount can also be used in cars or home flight simulator setups, provided a suitable mounting surface is available.

Important Information for Aircraft Use
The PilotGrip X98 is a universal electronic smartphone mount and is not certified aviation equipment.
Before attaching it to an aircraft window, the suitability of the window material must be confirmed. Particular care is required with acrylic and polycarbonate windows, including consideration of the aircraft manufacturer's instructions.
The mount must not obstruct external visibility, flight controls, instruments or other safety-critical equipment.
Always check the attachment before use. Temperature, vibration, surface characteristics and environmental conditions may affect holding performance.
Aircraft use must comply with applicable regulations and operational requirements.
