If you don't mind spending the extra $$, this mount is the best I've found. I own a 9500i and have tried various mounts, but this one is by far the best (and most expensive).
It does take a little time to fiddle around with the adjustment screws and brackets and get everything positioned "just right," but once you have everything locked into place, this mount is absolutely ROCK solid. The detector doesn't move, bounce, jiggle, rattle, etc. Because of its intelligent design, you have virtually infinite positioning possibilities. Height, depth, angle, etc. are all fully adjustable. You're probably not just gonna pop this on your mirror and be done with it, but the extra time spent positioning it will be well worth it. For those who are anal about positioning, etc., this mount is the cream of the crop.

Also, positioning your detector below the mirror provides for an overall better position for your detector. Generally you want the detector mounted pretty much smack dab in the middle of your windshield - not low on the dash and not high on a visor for example. Below the mirror is pretty darned close to perfect. As for laser reception, I don't have any first hand experience with problems of this sort, but I've always been of the opinion that unless you are running a state of the art laser jamming system, laser detection is a complete waste of time. The only thing laser detection does is (maybe) alert you to the fact that you've ALREADY been nailed. Frankly, I turn off laser detection completely - it's pointless and I'd rather just save the processing cycles on my detector's CPU.

That all being said, the ONLY issue I can see is when using this in a vehicle that is shared by different people who may readjust the rear view mirror positioning. Depending on your type of mirror and how it adjusts, moving the mirror results in the mount also changing positions. And this is not the type of mount that is quickly readjusted on the fly. Once you have this baby mounted and positioned, you'll probably not want to have to mess with it anymore, because repositioning can be tedious. So for those who share a vehicle, you may want to take this into consideration. However, for those who will be the only ones using this and won't be readjusting mirror positions, it won't be an issue.

In my case, I have it mounted so the top of the detector actually touches the bottom of my mirror, which provides for an even more solid position. The disadvantage is that accessing the button controls on the top of the 9500i might be difficult. Also, my stock mirror is quite thick and mounted like it is, the photo sensor on the 9500i is blocked, which means the auto-dim feature on the 9500i cannot work properly (it always thinks it's dark out and keeps the display on dim). This means I need to manually adjust the brightness using the finger controls. Not a big deal and really not a fault of the mount whatsoever, but something you might want to take into consideration if you buy this mount and use it in a similar fashion.

If anyone REALLY wants more details, contact me and I'll snap a few photos or even a video of my actual setup. I'm using this in a 2006 Hyundai Azera.

But in summary, this mount tops anything I've ever tried BY FAR and I'm totally satisfied with it. Been using it for almost a year now.
