The BavarianSimTec Pit Power AutoGrip is a motorised phone mount for sim racing, with automatic gripping arms driven by a touch sensor, 65W fast charging and a tempered glass front, compatible with Android and iPhone over a cable, so you can use your smartphone as a dashboard or control panel in the cockpit.
The AutoGrip arms open and close automatically when they detect the phone, so you can mount or remove it one-handed with no risk of it falling, even on large phones. It fits any cockpit with the MagicArm, the 17 mm ball head and the 1/4" T-nut. Unlike the MagLock, it works over a cable with Android and iPhone; it does not use MagSafe.
