SPRING FELL OUT ON FIRST USE

Pros: longer extensions allow for greater camera views
Cons: fell apart, needs longer bolt

The spring fell out of the arm assembly on the one that comes with a spring to keep one side open and the other shut as you loosen it. I might have this part confused with the next size up. Whichever one it is, the spring loaded one was a mess once the spring came out and rolled down the highway. It's still usable, but with much pain. The tightening bolt is too short and the entire piece comes apart before you can get it off even one of the balls, unless you're very careful. Nice idea, but deficient in execution.

GREAT PRODUCT

Pros: great unit.

ARTICULATING MOUNTING ARM

Pros: robust, functional, versatile.
Cons: not pretty but it works.

This is probably not the most elegant looking mounting system but it is highly functional, strong, gives you lots of flexibility for mounting and can be used with lots of optional attachments.

Also, it bears mentioning that you can buy these components cheaper at Express Mounts that you can buying them directly from RAM or just about any other internet vendor.

PERFECT FOR THE GARMIN 1370T

Works great and almost what I wanted but not at the fault of GPScity.com or the Ram mount arm itself. I figured the 3" arm would work for me but come to find out the 6" arm would have worked out much better. My fault and I'll know better next time. Can't really see the GPS over my tank bag on my Honda VFR

GREAT ARM.

Pros: good range of movement, stays put when tightened.
Cons: none yet.

Purchased this arm along with a diamond plate (RAM-B-238U) which mates to the back of my Cradle (RAM-HOL-GA25U) and a B-Ball (RAM-B-337U) which I mounted on a homemade plate between the bars of my ST1300. This arm is the perfect length and gives me enough flexibility to put the GPS where I want it. Once secured it stays put all day long, if adjustment is required, say for sun glare, its quick and easy. Very happy with this setup.

STRONG ARM

This is a great product. I read some reviews of some of the plastic parts and didn't think that was the way to go, so I got this one, which is metal, and I love it. I'm using it on a video rig that I built. I use it to hold different things for different shoots and it does a great job. I probably could have bought the smaller half-inch size and had plenty of gripping power. I'm very pleased. I will be buying another soon for the other side of my rig. I love the fact that the spring causes one side to still kind-of grip the ball while the other is completely loose. I soon realized this and flipped the arm so that the ball I most need to adjust was on the looser end. Of course, when you tighten this, both ends grip tight.

INVINCIBLE

Very secure and solid mount, stays put when properly tightened. Just orient the open end towards the ball that will be staying in place, and unscrew just enough to release. Unscrewing it too much can result in separation of the parts.

FANTASTIC MOUNT

Pros: solid... will last forever. love the spring load

MEDIUM ARM B-SOCKET

I use the Medium Arm B-socket for most installations. Unless space requires using a short arm, or a longer arm, the Medium Arm gives enough versatility for movement for elevation, side-to-side adjustment, and tilt to suit the situation. It is the most frequently used arm I use in fabricating mobile installations, and has been used in my own personal permanent radio shack installations.
