What can I say. it's a 1 inch ram ball

I have a GPS mount that I modified to use the 1 inch mount. I put this ball in each of my cars for easy transportation from car to jeep, RV or SxS. I have minor issues with slippage other than the occasional slippage of the SxS over rough terrain. I just have to remember to spin it a little harder before hitting bumps.

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

New product defects

Color seems to be missing under the ball. I have 2 photos, one ball is open and the second is not open, still in the original packaging. Both are missing color around the base of the ball. Not sure if it's due to a lack of quality control of the product or something else, but it seems like it could be better. Even without hardware to install this? 2 screws and 2 nuts cost 10 cents.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Update available

High quality - durable

I have bought several of these. The quality is consistently excellent, the mount is flexible but very reliable. The RAM Mount's ball mount system is a bit clunky because it's overkill for most uses, but it's exactly what I want when mounting an expensive phone to the handlebars of an adventure bike that can ride potholes and washboard dirt roads .

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Useless features

Why are the balls different sizes?

I received a tool that uses a ram mount for my excavator. I wanted to add another accessory to be installed in the same place, so I ordered another sphere. This was my first experience with Ram Mounts but I think the description should state that they come in a variety of sizes. And not just measure. So I spent $10 and it's not worth returning. I have now ordered the correct part. I have no idea why there are different sizes. And if there's a legitimate reason, then the balls should beโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Obsolete

Ugly + no screws Suitable for car mounts

I don't like high reviews. It doesn't look like the product photos. Check out customer photos to see what it really looks like. You can compare the material with the loading area of a used pickup truck. It's incredibly strong and will last forever, but it's all worn and doesn't look good. With that in mind, it's more suited to your industrial setting than a sleek office or studio. If nobody sees him, everything is fine. Until you find that no screws are included, so you can't use them. Twoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Requires socket

Mounting hardware not included

As mentioned, mounting bolts or nuts are not included leaving you with a diamond ball mount with no mounting hardware on the holder. In addition, the product description does not inform the buyer in any way. In the past, when I bought GPS mounts directly from RAM MOUNTS, mounting screws came with them. Some also believe these mounts are fake as some of them are scratched and paint is peeling off. I carefully examined my old mounts and found that there are two trademarks on the base: RAM andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Some cons

No mounting screws!

I ordered this knowing the mounting screws were NOT included. The screw sizes suitable for this are M5 style. I bought an internal mount for my truck to mount a few small things so I ended up using M5 .80 threads and they work great. In general, however, this is RAM. I like RAM products because they are versatile, you can use them on almost any mounting base. These little mounts hold up great, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the mount doesn't list the size of the screws, which Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • So-so
