RAM X-Grip Universal SmartPhone Cradle - Suction Cup Base & Short Arm

RAM-B-166-A-UN7U – RAM® X-Grip® Phone Mount with Twist-Lock™ Suction Cup (Short Arm)

The RAM-B-166-A-UN7U pairs the RAM® X-Grip® universal phone cradle with a RAM® Twist-Lock™ suction cup base and a short double socket arm. The twist-lock base grips glass and smooth, non-porous surfaces (including RAM adhesive disks), making it a tidy windscreen or dashboard mount for cars, trucks, and boats.

FAQs

Is this a complete mount? Yes. The suction base, short arm and X-Grip phone cradle are all included; there's nothing else to buy to get your phone onto the glass.

What surfaces will the cup stick to? Glass and other smooth, non-porous surfaces. Textured dashboards, matte plastic and any surface with a grain won't hold; clean both the cup and the surface before mounting. A RAM® adhesive disk gives the cup a smooth face to grip on an otherwise unsuitable surface.

Will my phone fit with a case on? Measure the width of your phone with the case fitted. The cradle opens from 47.6mm to 82.6mm wide and takes devices up to 22.2mm thick, which covers most phones in a standard case. Thick rugged cases and battery cases are the usual exception.

Is the tether included? Yes. We'd recommend fitting it for off-road, marine and any other high-vibration use; it's cheap insurance if the phone is ever knocked loose.

Is the short arm the right choice? The 60.5mm arm holds the phone tight against the glass, which suits tight cabs, small windscreens and anywhere you want the mount to intrude as little as possible. If you need the phone brought closer to hand, the same kit is available with a medium 94mm arm or a long 152mm arm.
