Super strong and secure mount.

Don't waste your time with cheap mounts, BUY IT. I bought it for a JVC action camera after 3 other 'cheaper' types failed to provide a stable mounting platform. I bought this model because I could cut a "diamond" center hole for 1/4-20 threads without a suction cup and installed a Manfroto RC2 quick release on it. Wow, that thing is strong and stable. Out of curiosity, I mounted my Canon 5D Mk2 and Tokina 10-17mm lens on it and attached it to the inside of the car's windshield. I drove over 3…

Great Design + Great Quality + Great Prices = Great American Company

I recently needed to install some GPS related displays in the cockpit of my small plane and discovered the RAM line of products. My compact space requirements required secure attachment of items without interfering with the view of other vital instruments or gauges. As a result, I had to try several combinations of RAM components before finding the right one. As an engineer with extensive design experience, I've been impressed with the design and build of every RAM component I've tried. I am…

  • Solid Build

The suction cup base is plastic - be careful not to damage the screw hole when attaching the socket holder

I ordered this last week. It comes in two parts - a twist lock suction cup base and a socket arm. You don't have to worry as only two Phillips screws are required for attachment. When I received the package I was actually on a business trip and needed this mount for a project (it was sent to me at the hotel). Luckily I ended up with a small Phillips screwdriver in my luggage. What worries me is that when fitting the bushing to the base of the suction cup, the second screw wouldn't fully tighten

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than other picks

I still can't believe how well this thing works!

I have a Jeep and drive it off-road. That means I spend all day bouncing around in the hot sun until everything gets dusty and dirty. I once watched the plastic mount on my Garmin "fixed" mount go from rigid to semi-rigid as my GPS slowly settled off the dashboard and onto the floor. Yes, it was hot outside. Now I have a new Jeep and wasn't sure where I wanted my GPS permanently installed. There had to be an interim solution, but to be honest I didn't think anything would work. I wanted to…
