FUNCTIONAL CONNECTOR

Pros: will function and work ok.
Cons: doesn't have a spring to control the opening.

This part will make the connections you need. The finish isn't as nice as sockets I have from previous years but better than some of the other parts I received on this mounting system I'm putting together.

ANOTHER QUALITY PRODUCT BY THE RAM COMPANY.

Pros: provides adjustment for an exact placement.
Cons: none!

I choose this short arm to mount my GPS above the instrument panel on my Suzuki VStrom DL650. It is the perfect size and clamps tight to hold the GPS securely in place during all driving conditions. Its design allows for adjustments to the height of the GPS to place it exactly where you want it. The craftsmanship and quality are great.

Cons: handle hits set screws if used with u-channel base

I am using this in a Cessna 172. The design is poor when used with U-channel clamping base. The handle to tighten hits set screws on U-channel base. The groves need to be moved or on all four sides so the handle can be turned away from the set screws.

SHORT ARM SOCKET CONFUSION

Pros: very helpful customer service and prompt delivery
Cons: wrong part ordered due to information provided

I I purchased the 1 1/2" short arm B-Socket from GPSCity for a recently ordered Garmin Zumo 550 I ordered from Amazon. The salesman was very helpful and the part of a very good quality however, I was told that the Garmin unit came with a 3" Socket. Having heard that, and not yet receiving the Zumo from amazon, I ordered the 1 1/2" Socket, so that I would have both lengths available. When I received the Garmin unit, I discovered that it actually came equipped with a 1 1/2" arm socket. As a result, I now have two 1 1/2" arm sockets, and would prefer to have one 1 1/2" and one 3" arm sockets.

Because of the relative low cost of the unit, I am hesitant about paying for return shipping and asking GPSCity to ship a 3" arm socket out to me.

REVIEW

Pros: fast shipping
Cons: poorly packed items

The RAM-Mount products worked well. Very fast shipping which was great. However, my only complaint was that GPS City shipped loose RAM-Mount parts without putting them in small plastic bags first and the parts banged into each other and some had chips in the powder coat by the time they arrived. I wasn't happy about this.

NOT GREAT QUALITY

Cons: not great quality

Was excited to receive this Short Arm B Socket. However when I received it the aluminum casting was defective. It had voids in it. Not sure if it will shorten the live span of the part. Not worth getting a replacement as they make you pay the postage back. Wish someone would look over the parts prior to shipping.

Absolutley awesome product! I have bought a few things from GPS City and it has all been worth every penny. If you want quality, this is it. I get mounts for my cell phone, GPS, Ipod, everything form here because I klnow once it's installed, it'll be problem free. I have no doubt that the mounts will last longer than the product they are holding! I also like how you can mix and match the parts to make your own custom mount! AAAAA+++++ !

NO COMPLAINTS HERE!

Pros: shorter arm fits in tight spots.
Cons: no spring between halves (very very minor con)

Short arm made for a better setup in my car, where I use a suction cup mount on a plate attached to the top of my dashboard. Despite what the dimensions say, in practice the arm feels about 1/2 as long as the longer arm. There's no spring between the halves, but this has not made adjustments any more difficult. Typical RAM A++ quality.

Pros: minimizes vibration of mounted gps

I ordered the RAM Mount Short Arm B-Socket RAM-B-201U-A because the standard (medium) arm that came with the Mirror- Mate (rear view mirror mount) resulted in excessive vibration of my Garmin Nuvi 750 inside my 2001 Chevy Tahoe. I also use it with my RAM Rail ATV UTV Mount in my power boat to provide the GPS speed function.

Item has been mounted, appears to be capable of doing what it was intended for. Perhaps the only fault might be the wing nut is too large! Appears too bulky. Not a big problem!!

GETS THE JOB DONE

Pros: low profile, sturdy, durable
Cons: none

A solid, durable part. It would be nice if it had the spring like the longer arms to keep it attached to one ball, however the shorter length prevents this. No big deal though, it works very well.

SHORT ARM MOUNT

Pros: aluminum, holing power

The short arm mount that came with my original mounting bracket was made from a plastic. It lasted approximatly two years before it broke. I believe that since the new part is made from aluminum it will be the last one I will ever have to buy. It fit perfectly and holds my gps unit in place better less slippage. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a new bolt and wing nut came with it.

USE THIS FOR NO VIBRATION

Pros: totally solid!
Cons: none

My 7xx mounting system for my Garmin came with a standard 3" socket arm. I bought this shorter arm in additional to the stock system. I never installed the long arm I had read that it shakes.

This short arm was solid as a rock. I used it on a 3 week trip thru Washington, Oregon and Northern California, mostly on back roads. We rode gravel, potholes and bumps.

The GPS unit did not move!

Pros: the strong construction and clamping ability
Cons: none

I am very pleased with the operation of this item. I used it to mount a Garmin GPS to a large Harley-Davidson and was amazed at the ease of the installation. The RAM mount short length dual 1.0 inch socket arm has been a crucial factor in keeping the GPS unit secure and vibration free.
