Great at first, doesn't last long

I've always considered RAM the benchmark for quality fasteners. However, this was a disappointment. The spherical part is separated from the base. You have to twist the two together yourself. That wouldn't be a problem, but the base is plastic, which just isn't durable. After a few months, the base and assembly of the ball began to loosen. Once this happens there isn't much you can do as the plastic holes that the screws go into will expand and cause the screws to fail. I tried to solve thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not everything fits

There is no skill here

If I could give zero stars it would be what it should be. After receiving this on June 10th, I reassembled it the following evening with a dot of Loctite on each screw and left it until June 18th (simply because I was gone). When trying to attach the base of the suction cup to the windshield, the ball came loose and broke the propeller housing on both sides. I'm thankful I didn't walk down the street and lose my GoPro. It's not even that the screws were too tight, I made sure I didn't hear aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Test scores are stable
Cons
  • There are nuances

Short suction

I hate that the rubber suction cup broke in such a short time. I travel 3 weeks a month. and i use this to raise my phone to see the gps. My guess is it was hit by the heat, or maybe it's not meant to stay out the window for more than a day. this sucker let me down. When I first got it it seemed really high quality but shortly after it was left by the window it self destructed. I am so disappointed as I trust a lot of equipment to Ramm attachment systems including in my private car off road and

Memory is a must!

As I have purchased several components to be used together, I consider them as a group and repeat the evaluation for all. My time with the product is still very short, I can only share my first impressions. RAM products are AMAZING! They tend to be at a higher level with these types of products; However, the old adage "you get what you pay forโ€ definitely applies in this case. What I like about this product group: 1. After the devices are installed and tightened, they become stable. minimalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High price
