RAM Mounts RAM-B-166-UN7U Composite Suction Cup Mount with X-Grip Phone Holder

The RAM Mounts RAM-B-166-UN7U is a professional-grade mounting solution designed to provide a secure and stable platform for your smartphone within a vehicle. This kit combines a high-strength composite suction cup base with the renowned X-Grip universal cradle, ensuring your device remains firmly in place even during travel. The system utilizes a patented ball-and-socket adjustment mechanism, allowing for near-infinite positioning angles to achieve the perfect viewing perspective for navigation or hands-free communication.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this mount is its exceptional versatility and robust construction. The suction cup base is engineered to create a powerful vacuum seal on windshields and other non-porous surfaces, providing a reliable foundation that resists vibrations and road shocks. The X-Grip cradle features a spring-loaded design that expands and contracts to fit a wide range of smartphone sizes perfectly, while the included rubber-coated tips ensure a firm grip without scratching your device. The modular ball-and-socket system allows users to easily adjust the orientation of the phone, making it simple to switch between portrait and landscape modes while maintaining a secure hold.

Suitable for

• Vehicle windshield navigation
• Hands-free smartphone operation
• Commuting and long-distance road trips
• Fleet vehicle equipment

When it may not be suitable

This mount is not designed for use on porous or textured surfaces, such as leather dashboards or fabric-covered areas, as the suction cup will not maintain a vacuum seal. Additionally, it may not be suitable for extremely heavy devices or tablets that exceed the specified width capacity of the X-Grip cradle.

Key specifications

• Ball size: 1 inch (B-Ball)
• Connection arm length: approximately 90 mm
• Maximum device width: 82.6 mm
• Mounting type: Suction cup for non-porous surfaces
• Material: High-strength composite and rubber

How to use

To install the mount, first ensure that the windshield or target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. Press the suction cup firmly against the surface and engage the locking lever to create a secure vacuum seal. Once the base is attached, connect the middle arm to the ball on the base and the ball on the back of the X-Grip cradle. Tighten the side knob on the arm to lock the desired angle. To insert your phone, pull back the spring-loaded arms of the X-Grip, place your device inside, and release the arms to secure it.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your smartphone width does not exceed 82.6 mm
• Ensure your vehicle has a clean, flat, non-porous surface for the suction cup
• Consider the reach of the 90 mm arm to ensure the phone is positioned within comfortable viewing distance

Usage recommendations

For maximum security, always use the included rubber tether when operating the device in high-vibration environments or on rough terrain to provide an extra layer of retention for your smartphone.
