A mobile device is attached to the device-attaching section. The attachment mechanism allows the device-attaching section to be detached when required. The first arm link and the second arm link establish a connection between the mounting section and the device-attaching section. The second arm link is rotatably connected to the arm-orienting base through the rotating mechanism allowing varying positions for the mobile device. The mounting section can vary in order to interface with various mounting surfaces. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile device mount comprises: a mounting section for mounting on a fixed surface; an arm-orienting base; a device-attaching section; a first arm link; a second arm link; a rotating mechanism; an attachment mechanism; the first arm link and the second arm link each comprise a first end and a second end; the arm-orienting base being hingedly about a horizontal axis and removably attached to the mounting section; the second end of the first arm link being hingedly about the horizontal axis, connected to the first end of second arm link; the second end of the second arm link being rotatably connected to the arm-orienting base through the rotating mechanism for rotating the first and second arm links and the device-attaching section about a vertical axis, the rotating mechanism is placed opposite of the mounting section; and the device-attaching section for supporting a mobile device, being removably attached to the first end of the first arm link through the attachment mechanism. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1 further comprises: the rotating mechanism comprises an engagement screw, a screw-positioning tube, and a tube-receiving channel; the screw-positioning tube traversing through a structural body of the arm-orienting base from a proximal end to a distal end of the arm-orienting base; the tube-receiving channel traversing into a structural body of the second arm link at the second end of the second arm link; the screw-positioning tube being concentrically aligned with the tube-receiving channel; the screw-positioning tube being positioned into the tube-receiving channel; and the engagement screw being positioned into the screw-positioning tube at the distal end. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 2 further comprises: a locking screw; a lock screw-receiving channel; the lock screw-receiving channel perpendicularly traversing into the structural body of the second arm link in between the first end and the second end of the second arm link; the lock screw-receiving channel being positioned perpendicular to the shaft-receiving channel; and the locking screw being positioned into the lock screw-receiving channel. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1 further comprises: an arm hinging mechanism; and the second end of the first arm link being hingedly connected to the first end of second arm link through the arm hinging mechanism. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 4 further comprises: the arm hinging mechanism comprises a first pin, at least one first hinge knuckle, and at least one second hinge knuckle; the at least one first hinge knuckle terminally connected at the second end of the first arm link; the at least one second hinge knuckle terminally connected at the first end of the second arm link; the at least one first hinge knuckle being concentrically aligned with the at least one second hinge knuckle; and the first pin being positioned through the at least one first hinge knuckle and the at least second hinge knuckle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1 further comprises: a base hinging mechanism; and the arm-orienting base being hingedly connected to the mounting section through the base hinging mechanism. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 6 further comprises: the base hinging mechanism comprises a second pin, at least one third hinge knuckle, and at least one fourth hinge knuckle; the at least one third hinge knuckle terminally connected at a distal end of the arm-orienting base; the at least one fourth hinge knuckle being mounted onto a top surface of the mounting section; the at least one third hinge knuckle being concentrically aligned with the at least one fourth hinge knuckle; and the second pin being positioned through the at least one third hinge knuckle and the at least one fourth hinge knuckle. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1 further comprises: a mounting panel; a first strap-receiving slot; a second strap-receiving slot; the first strap-receiving slot being laterally connected to the mounting panel; the second strap-receiving slot being laterally connected to the mounting panel opposite the first strap-receiving slot; and the mounting panel being removably attached to a bottom surface of the mounting section. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1 further comprises: the device-attaching section comprises an attachment plate, an attaching body, and a kickstand ring; the attachment plate being mounted onto the attaching body; and the kickstand ring being hingedly connected to the attaching body opposite the attachment plate. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 9, wherein the attachment plate is rotatably mounted onto the attaching body. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 9 further comprises: a magnet; and the magnet being integrated into the attaching body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1 further comprises: wherein the mounting section is a suction cup mount; and the arm-orienting base being hingedly and removably attached to the suction cup mount. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mounting section is a clamp. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The mobile device mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein the attachment mechanism is a side-release buckle mechanism.
