## Description

Product description Product Description The RAM-B-166-UN8U consists of a 3.3" diameter RAM Twist-Lock suction cup base, medium length double socket arm, and the popular spring-loaded RAM X-Grip 7"-8" tablet holder. The RAM X-Grip features an 'X' design that expands and contracts to provide a perfect fit for your device – even if it's in a case. Included are easy access grip knobs located on the back of the cradle for quick release of your tablet. No matter what double socket arm and mounting base you pair the RAM X-Grip with, RAM ball and socket technology allows for near-infinite adjustability to achieve the ideal viewing angle – while also extending the life of your phone by providing shock and vibration damping. The X-Grip tablet holder includes a device tether recommended for added security and peace of mind. This version of the X-Grip holder is compatible with tablets that will fit the dimensions listed. It is important to verify the dimensions of device with its case, sleeve, or skin when determining the overall size. Proper Suction Cup Installation Step 1: Thoroughly Clean Surface Using glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth, thoroughly clean the desired area you wish to install the mount. Step 2: Push Suction Cup Onto Surface Push the suction cup base onto the surface and push against the glass while holding the twist lock to the OFF position. It is crucial you hold the base firmly and flush against the glass to ensure proper suction. Step 3: Twist to Lock While continuing to hold the suction base flush against the glass, use your thumb and index finger to twist the lock to the ON position. Tug on the base a little to make sure it is suctioned to the surface and not loose Step 4: Attach Socket Arm & Holder Attach any B size socket arm to the base and your desired device holder to complete your mount installation.

Review: This mount is best mount I have used! - I have a portable CARPLAY radio which requires a suction mount. This unit is quite heavy. The mount that came with the radio does not work. It falls down after a few minutes. I have try 2 other mounts I purchased from desertcart and they failed to do the job also. I ran into the RAM mount and saw the price. Initially I wanted something less expensive but finally took the plunge. I have been using it for over a month and it hasn't fail once. It stayed on the windshield with no problem. Well worth the price.
Review: So great! - Love this mount! Super reliable, and easy to use. We use it for my daughter iPad on road trips and it never fails. Easy to figure out, fits an iPad mini just perfect! Withstands the vibrations in the car just fine!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly easy to use and handy!
*by C***M on February 6, 2024*

I love how easy this ram iPad mount is to use, it’s sturdy and doesn’t move during flight. The suction cup is powerful and hasn’t dropped even during temperature fluctuations. Once the position is set, you only have to stick it to the window and remove when done. Getting my iPad off of my leg, off of the yoke, has allowed me to be more focused on flying and less on worrying about if I’ve accidentally hit the iPad screen and moved my position.
