Haloid Solutions' HALOID CLIP is a patent-pending magnetic palm microphone mount designed for professionals who use two-way radios while driving. This innovation features adjustable magnetic resistance and glow-in-the-dark visibility. It was conceived and created by Stony Brook University graduate students.
Haloid Solutions' accessory replaces traditional hang-up clips that require precise alignment and can cause drivers to fumble or look away from the road. Instead, the palm microphone mount uses a magnetic attachment that allows the microphone to snap into place quickly and release just as easily without needing fine motor control.
Haloid Solutions' HALOID CLIP will serve individuals working in public safety, field service, fleet operations, and marine or off-road environments. The brand also offers "magnetic resistance that corresponds with your vehicle's situation" — from standard 40-pound resistance to extra-strong 80-pound resistance.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Magnetic Attachment Ergonomics
- A shift toward magnetic-based mounts creates low-effort microphone docking that reduces reach complexity and minimizes visual distraction for drivers.
- Adaptive Magnetic Resistance
- Variable-strength magnetic coupling tailored to vehicle conditions offers a new form factor for securing gear across high-vibration and high-mobility environments.
- Glow-in-the-dark Safety Accessories
- High-visibility, luminescent components integrated into tactile tools enable faster tool localization in low-light scenarios and improved situational awareness.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Public Safety
- Emergency responders could benefit from hands-free, snap-to-place communications hardware that reduces fumbling and maintains uninterrupted situational focus.
- Fleet Operations
- Commercial fleets stand to see standardized, durable mounting systems that lower in-cab clutter and support faster equipment turnover across vehicle types.
- Marine and Off-road
- Ruggedized magnetic mounting solutions designed for wet, jarring, and uneven conditions present opportunities for more reliable equipment retention in harsh environments.
