RAM Mounts Medium Double Socket Arm for B Size 1″ Ball Mount Components, RAM Mount Connector Arm, Marine-Grade Aluminum RAM-B-201U

I've been using RAM products for about 10 years. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of their components. I am currently using three of these standard length arms on my bicycle to hold a RAM universal cradle for a Samsung Galaxy Player WiFi 5.0, a Garmin Oregon 450 GPS, and a Fenix flashlight (using UNPK RAM BASE FOR 3/4" TO 1" DIA. RAILS ). I like using RAM mounts for two reasons. First, they are solid, heavy duty, and stay put once you tighten them--even when bouncing around on a mountain bike. Second, the rubber balls provide a touch of flex in the mount to absorb shock while riding. I used the long RAM arm ( RAM Mount Long Double Socket Arm f/1" Ball Bases ) on my Kawasaki Concours motorcycle for a few years. While it raised the GPS to a point where I could see it easier, I felt that the long arm allowed just a little bit too much flex and made it more difficult to read the screen while riding. The long arm is now in use in my car to hold the SGP5 where it isn't subject to as much vibration. Arm length is a balance between stiffness and shock absorption. The shorter RAM arms will be very stiff and not provide as much shock absorption (which, admittedly, is just a beneficial by-product of the design). The longer arm can move more and absorb more shock, but that also means your device will move around more in rough environments. The paint is thick and resilient. Of the many RAM arms I own (probably about 6), I've only experienced paint chipping on one over the past 10 years. A 1/4" fleck of paint chipped off of the inside of the arm where the ball would touch: It did not affect performance. I've also used this arm on my motorcycle since 2002 and it is unaffected by the weather. The hardware is also sturdy. It is quite possible to tighten the mechanism down so tightly that the arm will leave temporary impressions in the rubber mounting balls. No stripping, no backing out. The standard length arm allows me to extend my electronics forward of the handlebars just a bit so that it's easier for me to look down and see them. Two of my favorite places online to check for good prices on RAM products are GSPCheap and GPSCity.

I purchased this along with the RAM Square 2-inch x 1.7-inch base with 1-inch ball, and the Universal X-Grip Holder. As I am using this as a part of a system, I will comment on the overall package as the parts are all of the same high quality and would be useless alone. Although I've only had it installed for a day, I could not be any more pleased. For reference, this is mounted on the dash of my 2003 Jeep Wrangler. After going through countless cheap (under $5) car holders, mounts, etc., I finally had enough after purchasing an iOttie mount for around $15 only to have it break after 6 months of usage. Sure, it is plastic, and $15 isn't a lot of money in the big picture, but I need more than 6 months from a product. I looked into several different mounting options including custom mounts, and fortunately came across RAM products. I read the reviews, looked into the company itself, and quickly ordered a solution that seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I am happy to say so far, I made the right decision. I mounted the base to the center area of my Wrangler's dash, in a place that is covered by a removable rubber mat, and the screw holes can easily be covered up if someone decided to remove the mount for some reason (likely me, in order to keep it for my next vehicle!). This lets me angle the rest of the mount above the radio and vent, which I find to be the best location for navigation and music control. The X-Grip connects to the socket arm and can be adjusted to almost any position. The X-Grip, if centered, does hit the volume/power buttons of my Nexus 4 if centered, but I find that positioning it to either side still provides an extremely secure grip and avoids hitting the buttons. I obviously cannot speak to durability, but all 3 of the parts that I ordered appear to use high quality metals and plastics. The points that would be prone to failure due to sun/heat are sturdy enough that I will be amazed if it breaks, and considering RAM Mount's reputation I have a feeling I shouldn't worry. I will certainly come back and edit my review should that happen, but I trust RAM would take care of me even in the event All said, I spent around $40 for the 3 pieces. I have probably spent that much in cheap plastic mounts in the past 3 years. I have no doubt that I could easily be using this 15 years down the road. Past the 15 year point, we will probably have all of our gadgets implanted in our brains, but I bet the plastic in this mount will still be solid!

Exactly as expected

Very high quality material and design. Very sturdy and reliable. Use these for all my mounting supports in my vehicles. Hands free. Suction cups don’t work and are flimsy

Works great and a solid mount but if you loosen it a little too much it flys apart

I purchased this double socket arm to be able to mount my phone to my Yamaha VX Limited and it works great. The wave runners came with integrated places for RAM mounts and we know we can trust RAM products as we have also used them on our motorcycles. The attached video was taken with my phone on the mount and in selfie mode. Other parts to complete the assembly I used to get the height and angle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V6ZS2HG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AHCUNG2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 The part worked perfectly with the other RAM components and the RAM products worked perfectly in the provided spots on the PWCs. Thank you for a great product at a reasonable price with quick shipping!

Worked well with the 1'' ram ball mount on my live scope pole.

Sturdy. Well built. Will probably last a very long time.

アイデア次第でどのようにも出来ます、自分の場合、xアームを使いナビを使っています。

Toplam boyu 9,5 cm, 1 inç toplara uygun girişleri var. Efektif boyu yaklaşık 7,5 cm. Son derece sağlam ve metal alaşım hissi veren gövdesi var. Diğer uyumlu RAM ürünleri ile çok güzel çalışıyor. Ben araba içinde kullanacağım.Tek kusur yanı metal gövde bir sarsıntı anında bağlı olduğu noktadan fırlar ise metal yapısı nedeniyle araba içindekilere zarar verebilir şüphesi. Tabi bu durum bir olasılık sabit bir kusur değil bana göre

Darei 10 stelle a un prodotto così.. ormai ho tutto RAM nelle mie auto, gli unici attacchi fatti veramente bene! unica cosa da stare attenti: nell'inserzione è scritto che il modello è il RAM-B-201U-A, ma a me è arrivato il modello RAP-B-201U-A.. differenza? che il primo è in alluminio e il secondo è in plastica. la qualità è ugualmente al top, la plastica è più leggera e quindi preferibile secondo me dai "biciclettari". Vi pregherei di rivedere bene l'inserzione perché è errata e non è specificato da nessuna parte il materiale! per il resto super OK!

La qualità degli accessori Ram mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso. Ho acquistato quest'asta da abbinare ad un RAM-B-272U e alla RAM X-Grip. É stata una scelta un po' obbligata, visto che per gli scooter, a differenza delle moto, ci sono meno possibilità di montare accessori per smartphone e mi sono affidato a questi. Quest'asta è davvero comoda e permette facilmente di smontare la X-Grip quando lascio lo scooter parcheggiato. Ha il vantaggio di poter essere regolata in altezza e profondità. La farfalla si stringe facilmente con le dita e ha una presa molto salda. Prodotti made in USA veramente di ottima qualità. Costo superiore ai vari supporti per telefono, ma curati nella costruzione, li ricomprerei senza pensarci.
