All 19 of them — the practical, the skeptical, and the honest limits. Missing yours? hello@steadilabs.com reads everything.
That's the only place it was built for. The wide flexible base spreads its grip across whatever it's sitting on instead of balancing on one point, and the fins hold the drink by its bottom inch so washboard can't walk it loose the way it walks a can out of a shallow pocket. It resists tipping through a whoop and settles back level for the next one.
No. Nothing clamps, mounts, or bolts to anything. It sits on top of the console, the dash, the cargo bed, or the tailgate at staging, and moves wherever you need it in a second — no tube-diameter chart, no bracket, no retightening after a rough day.
Measure the bottom, not the rim. A base 2 to 3 inches across settles in, and the 40 oz Stanley-style tumbler is one of them — the exact cup the factory holder was never sized for.
It isn't limited to the console, so it isn't limited to the heat over the tunnel either. Set it on the dash, the seat, or anywhere else in the cab that's out of the driveline heat, and the drink stops riding directly above it.
It doesn't seal a drink shut, so a lidded bottle, a screw-lid travel bottle, or a can with a topper lid still does the work against dust. What this does is keep that container from sliding, tipping, or launching once it's up there.
Yes — on hard, ribbed, or textured surfaces it holds at least as well as anywhere else in the cab. Set it in the bed, in a wheel well, or on the cooler lid and the wide base and fin grip do the same job they do up front.
It's one flat piece of flexible material, so it folds down small enough to ride in a door bag or a glovebox between stops.
Clamps are sized to one tube diameter and mounted at chest height, and vibration is their known failure — the classic ending is the whole holder spinning loose after a hard hit. This doesn't mount to anything, so there's nothing to loosen and nowhere it's locked to just one seat.
Hose it off or run it through the dishwasher. It's one piece of flexible material with nothing to take apart and nowhere for grit to hide.
It's called the Steadi, molded in small runs in Orange, California by Steadi Labs — veteran-founded and patent pending. Every order ships free from steadilabs.com, with 30 days to send it back if it doesn't earn a spot on the machine.
Yes, because it doesn't ask the console for anything. Console pockets, dash shapes, and cage tube diameters differ across Polaris, Can-Am, and Honda — and shift again by model year within one brand — which is exactly why clamps and model-specific replacement holders only fit certain rigs. This sits on top of whatever surface is available instead of mounting into or onto one, so it isn't tied to a brand or a cutout.
No — nothing about it plugs into LinQ or any other quick-attach mount. That's the point: it doesn't need a mounting system at all. It sits on the console, the dash, the cargo bed, or the tailgate, and moves with you in a second instead of needing to be clicked into a proprietary rail.
A slim or 'sleek' 12 oz can runs about 2.25 to 2.28 inches at the base — inside the 2-to-3-inch range this settles in, just toward the narrower end of it. The fins close around that width instead of leaving the gap an oversized factory pocket does, so it sits closer and steadier than it does rattling loose in a hole cut for a wider can.
Most groups running four seats bring three or four: the stock console pockets already cover the front two reasonably well for a can, so the extras usually go to the back seats and the cargo bed or cooler lid at stops, where there's no factory holder at all.
It's a safe one for that reason specifically. Console shapes, cage tube sizes, and dash cutouts all vary by brand and model year, which makes a mount-specific accessory a guess to buy for someone else. This doesn't need to match any of that — it's useful straight out of the box on whatever rig it ends up on.
Yes — a 12 oz sports-drink bottle's base sits well inside the 2-to-3-inch range this settles in, the same as a can or a colster, so it holds the same way a 40 oz tumbler does. It's also one less bottle rolling loose in a back seat that usually doesn't have its own factory holder at all.
Yes — the same wide base and fin grip that hold on a ribbed cargo bed or a domed cooler lid work on sand, too. It's built for hard, uneven, and moving surfaces generally, so a tailgate at Glamis staging or a blanket at camp isn't a different case than the console.
A gimbal answers tilt — the cup stays roughly level as the mount pivots — but not the bounce and vibration that actually eject a drink over whoops, and it still needs a mounting point on the cage or dash to work. This doesn't pivot; the wide base flexes with the surface and the fins hold the drink's bottom inch directly, and it needs nowhere to mount at all.
Yes — a standard water bottle's base sits well inside the 2-to-3-inch range whether it's full, half-thawed, or frozen solid, and the fins hold it by that base rather than depending on the bottle being a snug wedge fit the way a stock pocket does.
