This innovative, hands-free solution is designed to securely hold and display end-user devices such as smartphones, offering unmatched convenience and functionality for professionals in the field.

The GEN 2 Navigator Tech Mount builds upon the success of the original design with several key improvements, such as fitting larger devices, allowingcamera usage, and including a tensioner to hold the mount open and prevent bouncing. Thus, making it an essential accessory for those needing reliable device access during critical missions or demanding activities.

• Fits Most Rugged Smartphones: Accommodates smartphones in rugged cases up to 7” x 3.5” x .75”, ensuring compatibility with most common devices.

• Improved Functionality: The GEN 2 model allows full camera usage while the device remains mounted.

• Adjustable Tensioner: A new tensioner ensures the mount stays open and stable during activity, reducing bounce and improving usability.

• Silent, One-Handed Operation: The closure system can be operated silently with one hand, allowing for discreet use in tactical situations.

• Shock Cord Harness: The adjustable shock cord harness ensures a secure fit, offering superior device retention even during high-movement activities.

• Folds Flat: When not in use, the mount folds flat against the body for minimal interference and maximum comfort.

• Extended Power Options: A collapsible pocket holds a battery pack for extended device usage, keeping your tech powered on-the-go.

• Full Mini MOLLE Compatibility: The mount attaches easily to PALS webbing or belts via the included two HSGI® MOLLE clips (MOLLE area: 4 columns x 3 rows), making it adaptable for a wide range of setups.

• Built for Durability: Made in the USA and Berry Compliant, the GEN 2 Navigator Tech Mount is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

High Speed Gear emphasizes that the GEN 2 Navigator Tech Mount is not a substitute for a protective case; it is designed to be used with a device in a rugged case for maximum protection and utility.

“Our GEN 2 Navigator Tech Mount was designed to provide end-users with the hands-free convenience they need without sacrificing security or functionality,” said Daniel Chaney, Senior Designer at High Speed Gear. “Whether you’re out on patrol, in the field, or just need reliable access to your device, the GEN 2 Navigator Tech Mount ensures your tech is always within reach, while remaining protected and steady during activity.”

Dynamic Principles – Cantable Magazine Pouches

Monday, September 16th, 2024

Dynamic Principles is proud to announce the release of our Cantable Magazine Pouches.

The Cantable Mag Pouch was designed to combine the ergonomics and customization of competition style magazine pouches with the duty grade retention and signature of what we consider to be the absolute gold standard: Esstac KYWI inserts sourced directly from Esstac. These pouches allow you to precisely dial in the ride height, cant angle and spacing of each magazine pouch to tailor your belt setup to be most mechanically efficient for you.

These pouches must be combined with either our Direct Attach Hardware Kit (to directly attach to standard ELS and blade tech hole pattern belts and mounts like the Baer Wojtek Belt) or the “ADAPT” series of mounting kits from Guardian Warrior Solutions (to be mounted to 1.75″ or 2″ belts or 3″ Molle). These provide a mounting solution that is much more durable than one wrap while maintaining zero vertical or horizontal slop between the belt and pouch.

These will be available initially in double stack 9mm and 5.56 versions.
