RAM Mounts Explained

RAM Mounts are incredibly versatile and robust mounting systems that rely on a simple yet effective design: the ball and socket joint. Each component in a RAM Mount system, whether it's a cradle for your phone, an arm for extension, or a base for attachment, features a rubber ball connected to a socket. This ball and socket joint allows for near-infinite adjustability, enabling you to position your device at the perfect viewing angle. To secure the desired position, you simply tighten a knob on the arm, compressing the socket onto the ball and creating a strong and vibration-resistant hold. This modular design allows for endless customization, making RAM Mounts suitable for a wide range of applications, from cars and motorcycles to airplanes and boats.

Choosing the right RAM Mount for your needs involves selecting the correct RAM Cradle, RAM Arm, and RAM Base.

  • The cradle is designed to securely hold your specific device, whether it's a phone, tablet, GPS unit, or even a cup holder.
  • The arm provides extension and adjustability, allowing you to position the device at the desired distance and angle.
  • The base attaches the mount to a surface, such as a yoke, dashboard, or handlebar.

When selecting these components, consider factors such as the size and weight of your device, the desired location for mounting, and the level of adjustability needed. By carefully choosing the right combination of cradle, arm, and base, you can create a customized mounting solution that perfectly meets your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What phone sizes does the RAM X-Grip fit, and will it hold my phone in a case?

The X-Grip universal cradle uses a spring-loaded four-leg design that expands and contracts to fit a wide range of smartphones, including current iPhones, even with a case on. Measure your phone width with the case attached so you can confirm the cradle arms close securely around it before you order.

Do I need tools, drilling, or adhesive to install this mount?

No. The Twist-Lock suction base needs no tools, drilling, or adhesives. Press the suction cup against a clean glass or non-porous surface, then twist the lever to lock it in place. This makes it a good fit for renters or shared aircraft where permanent changes are not allowed, and it removes just as easily.

What surfaces does the Twist-Lock suction base stick to?

The suction base is made for glass and other smooth, non-porous surfaces such as a cockpit windshield or panel. It will not hold reliably on textured, porous, or fabric surfaces. For the strongest grip, clean and dry the surface first, then press the cup flat and twist the lever fully to lock it down.

What is included in this kit?

The kit includes the universal X-Grip phone cradle with its spring-loaded four-leg design, an adjustable double socket arm with a tightening knob, and the low-profile Twist-Lock suction base. A rubber device strap ships with the X-Grip cradle as well. Everything needed for tool-free mounting is in the box.

Can I use this mount in a car as well as in an aircraft?

Yes. The Twist-Lock suction base attaches to any smooth glass or non-porous surface, so it works on a cockpit windshield or panel, a car or truck windshield, a boat, and similar vehicles. Pilots use it in the cockpit, and the same mount transfers easily to other vehicles whenever you need it.

Is this mount adjustable for the best viewing angle?

Yes. RAM uses a rubber ball and socket joint on the double socket arm, which allows near-infinite adjustment. Loosen the knob, position your device at the angle you want, then tighten the knob to compress the socket onto the ball and lock the position. This lets you keep your apps visible while keeping your panel clear.

How well does this mount handle cockpit vibration?

RAM's rubber ball and socket joint provides shock and vibration damping, which helps keep your device steady and reduces stress on the mount during turbulence or engine vibration. Tightening the arm knob firmly holds your chosen angle. The rubber strap on the X-Grip cradle can add extra security in rougher conditions.

Is a little movement inside the X-Grip cradle normal?

A small amount of play in the spring-loaded cradle can be normal and does not mean the hold has failed. To reduce that movement for rougher use, place the rubber strap across the device and confirm all four cradle legs seat firmly around your phone. Tightening the arm knob also keeps your chosen angle locked in.

How can I keep the suction cup from coming loose?

Clean both the suction cup and the mounting surface so they are free of dust and oils, then make sure both are dry before mounting. Press the cup flat against smooth glass or non-porous plastic and twist the lever fully to lock. A clean, smooth surface and a complete twist give the strongest, longest-lasting hold.

Can I remove this mount without leaving residue?

Yes. Because the Twist-Lock suction base uses suction rather than adhesive on the mounting surface, you can release the lever and lift it off cleanly, leaving no glue or marks on glass or non-porous surfaces. That makes it a good choice for rented or shared aircraft and for moving the mount between vehicles.

What is the part number for this mount?

The manufacturer part number is RAP-B-166-2-UN7U. It pairs the universal X-Grip phone cradle with a B size one inch ball double socket arm and the low-profile Twist-Lock suction base. Reference this number when confirming compatibility with other RAM components such as additional arms or alternate bases.

Will this mount block my instruments or cockpit view?

It uses a low-profile, space-saving design that keeps your phone within easy reach without obstructing critical instrument readings. The adjustable ball and socket arm lets you fine-tune the angle and position, so you can place the device where it stays visible for your apps while keeping your panel and forward view clear.
