Product Reviews

High quality mounting solution

I purchased this along with the RAM Square 2-inch x 1.7-inch base with 1-inch ball, and the Universal X-Grip Holder. As I am using this as a part of a system, I will comment on the overall package as the parts are all of the same high quality and would be useless alone.Although I’ve only had it installed for a day, I could not be any more pleased. For reference, this is mounted on the dash of my 2003 Jeep Wrangler.After going through countless cheap (under $5) car holders, mounts, etc., I finally had enough after purchasing an iOttie mount for around $15 only to have it break after 6 months of usage. Sure, it is plastic, and $15 isn’t a lot of money in the big picture, but I need more than 6 months from a product.I looked into several different mounting options including custom mounts, and fortunately came across RAM products. I read the reviews, looked into the company itself, and quickly ordered a solution that seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I am happy to say so far, I made the right decision.I mounted the base to the center area of my Wrangler’s dash, in a place that is covered by a removable rubber mat, and the screw holes can easily be covered up if someone decided to remove the mount for some reason (likely me, in order to keep it for my next vehicle!). This lets me angle the rest of the mount above the radio and vent, which I find to be the best location for navigation and music control.The X-Grip connects to the socket arm and can be adjusted to almost any position. The X-Grip, if centered, does hit the volume/power buttons of my Nexus 4 if centered, but I find that positioning it to either side still provides an extremely secure grip and avoids hitting the buttons.I obviously cannot speak to durability, but all 3 of the parts that I ordered appear to use high quality metals and plastics. The points that would be prone to failure due to sun/heat are sturdy enough that I will be amazed if it breaks, and considering RAM Mount’s reputation I have a feeling I shouldn’t worry. I will certainly come back and edit my review should that happen, but I trust RAM would take care of me even in the eventAll said, I spent around $40 for the 3 pieces. I have probably spent that much in cheap plastic mounts in the past 3 years. I have no doubt that I could easily be using this 15 years down the road. Past the 15 year point, we will probably have all of our gadgets implanted in our brains, but I bet the plastic in this mount will still be solid!

Hold it.

Been using RAM for around 20 years. I’ve tried other ways to mount electronics that were cheaper, but have always come back to RAM. If you’ve tried their products, I highly recommend them.

im surprised how firmly this holds onto knobs on both …

im surprised how firmly this holds onto knobs on both ends…i dont know how they do that, maybe its the material but when i tighten this down it doesnt move a BIT…holds really well…

versatile replacement

hello,i can now change the stock long arm on my ram gps mount to adapt my digital camera and camcorder when needed. the original long arm is great for the gps, but the long arm stuck out too far to balance the cameras. the shorter 3 inch model makes it closer to the car, boat, table, surface, etc. i also bought the rubber ball base for the camera mounts. RAM Mounting Systems RAM-B-202AU 1” Rubber Ball Base with ¹⁄₄”-20 Stud For Camera. It works well and makes it less obtrusive when mounting both to a specific surface. great product and great delivery by gps city.

which is an amazing solution for my very specific application

I have come to know and trust all things Ram Mount and his particular part is no exception. It is well made and will last far longer than I need it to. I use this in conjunction with the x-grip and my iPhone, which is an amazing solution for my very specific application. It gives me endless range of motion and flexibility, which I could not find with any other solution. I bought this in aluminum instead of plastic for that extra piece of mind when it comes to durability. Highly recommend this and every product made by Ram Mount!!

Interchangeable

Love the ability to interchange the Ram Mount components between my car and motorcycle!

and the ram mount composite) are a perfect fit for their handle bars

I bought this for my boyfriend and his mom as a motorcycle mount for a trip from Virginia to Alabama and this did the job! It’s seccure and fits any phone. The mount when all together (the double socket arm, zinc u bolt, and the ram mount composite) are a perfect fit for their handle bars. We even some times out it in our jeep and the support you get is awesome. If my boyfriend can drive 75 going down a highway with this on his motorcycle handle bars, and his phone not fall off, it’s a great product!!!
