PitPower AutoGrip on rig with phone mounted

The PitPower AutoGrip is a premium spring-loaded phone mount engineered for sim racing rigs. Unlike the MagLock, the AutoGrip works with any smartphone — iPhone, Android, or any other device up to 100mm wide. Mount your phone in seconds, power it at 65W via the included fast charger, and use it as a race dashboard, pit wall display, or coaching tool without a single cable trailing across your cockpit. Built on BavarianSimTec's aluminium MagicArm system with the same precision and build quality as the entire PitPower range.

Built for the Rig.

PitPower AutoGrip mounted on sim rig without phone

The MagicArm attaches directly to standard aluminium extrusion profiles via the included M8 T-Nut — the same profiles found on virtually every modern sim rig. The 17mm ball head gives you full 360° rotation to dial in exactly the right angle, height, and distance for your line of sight. The spring-loaded grip mechanism holds any phone size firmly in place, even under high force feedback intensity.

FAQs About this product

What phones work with PitPower AutoGrip?

The AutoGrip works with any smartphone up to 100mm wide — this covers virtually all iPhones, Android devices, and other smartphones regardless of brand or model. Unlike the MagLock which requires MagSafe-compatible iPhones, the AutoGrip's spring-loaded mechanical grip works universally with any phone, with or without a case.

Does the charger work in Australia?

The included 65W QC3.0 charger comes with interchangeable EU, US, and UK plugs. For Australia you'll need a simple AU/NZ travel adapter which is widely available and inexpensive, or you can use your own Australian USB-C charger with the included braided USB-C cable.

Will my phone stay secure during force feedback vibrations?

Yes — the spring-loaded AutoGrip mechanism provides a firm mechanical hold on the sides of your phone, keeping it secure regardless of vibration or movement. The MagicArm also locks the mount position solidly once adjusted, so the entire assembly stays rigid even under high force feedback intensity.

What can I use my phone for on the rig?

Popular uses include running a race dashboard app, displaying pit strategy or timing data, running the BavarianSimTec PitStopApp, watching coaching videos between sessions, running a lap timer or delta app, monitoring Discord or TeamSpeak during team races, or simply keeping your phone charged and accessible without cables running across the rig.

Does it work with a phone case?

Yes — the AutoGrip's mechanical spring mechanism grips the sides of your phone and works with or without a case, regardless of case thickness or material. This is one of the AutoGrip's advantages over MagSafe-based mounts, which can be affected by thick or non-compatible cases.

How does it attach to my rig?

The MagicArm connects to your rig via the included 1/4" to M8 aluminium adapter and M8 T-Nut, which slots into standard aluminium extrusion profiles found on virtually all sim rigs. Once inserted and tightened, the MagicArm provides 360° of articulation to position your phone at exactly the right angle and height.

What is the difference between PitPower AutoGrip and PitPower MagLock?

PitPower AutoGrip uses a spring-loaded mechanical grip and is compatible with any smartphone regardless of brand, model, or case. PitPower MagLock uses Apple's MagSafe magnetic standard and is designed exclusively for iPhone 12 and newer. If you use an Android phone or an older iPhone, AutoGrip is the right choice. If you use a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and want a cleaner magnetic snap-on experience, MagLock is the option.

How long does shipping to Australia take?

PitPower AutoGrip ships directly from our warehouse on the Gold Coast, QLD. For in-stock orders, standard shipping typically takes 2–5 business days within Australia. Express options are available at checkout.
