Strengths: The rotating pod device that contain the rails for the cam to slide onto rotates and locks down which provides at least some choices of angle.
The flex strap will fit a variety of bike tubes.
Weaknesses: No matter how much you make it tight it still slips some. One can also pull a muscle or suffer another minor injury while pulling on the strap so hard to make it "flex" to the next hole in an attempt to make it super tight on the tube. The cam attaches via the RAIL device which is an inherent weakness of the Contour mount system.
Bottom Line:
While good in theory, it still has too many limitations to overcome to be considered a product that brings much joy. 25+ dollars for a few pieces of rubber is a lot of money. For maybe twice that you can have a nice mount from RAM (just google) that is very Very VERY steady on the bike and will provide for all sorts of adjustments due its ball and socket design.
