Kupo KS-418 Car Cup Holder w/ Ball Head – Twist-to-fit expanding base for secure in-car mounting

The Kupo KS-418 combines a versatile super knuckle with a cup-holder mounting base so you can position cameras, monitors and mobile devices inside a vehicle. It uses a twist-to-fit expanding weighted base to lock firmly in most car center console cup holders. Additionally, the unit includes a ball head and a double-socket knuckle arm for flexible attachment and positioning.

Core features

• Standard ball size: Dia. 26mm ball head with a hard anodized, serrated surface to improve grip within the shell and resist weathering.

How the cup holder mount works

The base uses a twist-to-fit mechanism with an expanding weighted section. As you twist the base, it expands to press against the sides of the cup holder and creates a stable platform. This design allows quick installation and removal while increasing stability compared with a simple plug-style mount.

Typical applications

Use the KS-418 in a wide range of scenarios where a secure in-car mounting point is required. For example:

• Mounting a tablet or iPad for navigation or media playback.
• Positioning a GPS unit or smartphone for easy access and visibility.
• Attaching small monitors, lights or cameras for in-car shoots or POV setups.
• Holding MP3 players or other mobile devices that need fixed placement while driving.
