It is noticeably lighter and better suited to marine and salt-air use, while the aluminium version is the tougher choice for heavy vibration or knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the short arm too short for a phone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot usually. It holds the device close to the glass, which suits most phone cradles and keeps the mount out of your sightline. If you need to bring the screen closer to you, step up to the medium-arm RAP-B-166-202U.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the suction cup covered by the warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. RAM® treat suction cups as a general wear item, so the cup sits outside the lifetime warranty.
