Good quality Ram mount. Works well in all my off road vehicles.

Strong, simple and easy to adjust

It’s a Ram mount, don’t know what else to say. It does what it’s supposed to and holds up over time.

Expensive, but works well

Quality products and super great phone customer service.

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.
