Review on πŸŽ₯ RAM Mounts RAP-B-202U-GOP1 Universal Ball Adapter for Action Cameras with 1" B Size Ball by Christopher Pfaffe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good RAM mount as usual

I need about 100 different types of RAM mount components to mount cameras on different vehicles. This is for my new GoPro Hero 4 Silver action camera and I am using it to mount my camera on an airplane. Like all RAM products, it is very durable and fits perfectly. My only wish is that RAM provide a nut in the box that fits the GoPro grip. RAM supplies a black nylon locknut and Phillips head screw with the adapter. The lock nut fits into the corresponding hex slot on one side of the adapter and only fits the RAM supplied black screw. They send another grip that can be hand tightened like regular GoPro grips without tools, but they don't provide a nylon lock nut that would fit. I had to remove the swivel nut from one of the other GoPro mounts. The problem is that the hex slot does not fit the GoPro's swivel nut and this causes the camera to move a little on the mount even when tightened. I ended up using the black nut and bolt provided by RAM, but a Phillips screwdriver is required to tighten or loosen. Otherwise a good adapter. Much stronger than plastic GoPro mounts.

Pros
