Recommendations for suction cup mount for phone on commercial aircraft window

As above, does anyone have recommendations for a suction cup mount for phones on the windows of a commercial aircraft?

I’m looking at one that’s easy to remove and can be reused for other situations, eg on cars and hotel windows, etc.

Thanks!

Don't think k you should be doing that as the inner window on aircraft is thin perspex. There is a chance you could crack it especially in the event of turbulence

Unfortunately should be and are doing are two different things. If you watch a number of the more popular vloggers, you'll note many are using suction cup mounts to capture takeoff/landing footage and in some cases, internal footage. I would not be surprised if some try to stick these on the IFE screens as well.

For general aviation (private flights), I use RAM mounts for my iPad with Foreflight. Our windows in unpressurized aircraft are a bit thicker than inner windows on airliners, but as long as you're mounting just a phone you should be alright.

Which RAM mount are you using? What's a good one to get for someone sitting in economy?
