Review on 🚗 RAM Mounts RAM-B-316-1-202U Vehicle Mount with 18 Inch Aluminum Rod and Round Plate, Compatible with RAM Devices by Matthias Foxx

Well done, like the tablet holder I installed on it but there were problems with the rod. The stem is aluminum, which is fine, but getting it securely into the bottom mount was a challenge. The end of the rod was larger than the hole it was supposed to fit in, so I had to shave some of the metal off. It didn't matter much, but the soft aluminum just doesn't bite well into a steel mount. The soft aluminum at the bottom of the bar won't withstand a tip over without loosening. No matter how hard you pull it on, the material is too soft to provide a secure fit. The counter surface is too short to grip the material properly. You should expand the clamping area to provide more "bite" or use a different alloy that is stronger and not as easy to manipulate.
