• Mounting GPS units and smartphones in vehicles
• Securing action cameras on motorcycles or off-road equipment
• Attaching marine electronics to boat consoles
• Integrating industrial sensors into machinery

When it may not be suitable

This product is not suitable for applications requiring a mounting surface other than an M8-1.25 threaded hole. It should not be used in environments where the load exceeds the structural capacity of the mounting point or where the 1.5-inch ball size is incompatible with your existing socket arms.

Key specifications

• Ball size: 1.5 inches (C-size)
• Thread type: M8-1.25
• Thread length: 10mm
• Material: High-strength composite and steel
• Color: Black

How to use

To install the RAM Tough-Ball, simply align the M8-1.25 threaded stud with the corresponding mounting hole on your equipment or vehicle surface. Rotate the base clockwise until the stud is fully seated and tightened securely. Once installed, attach your compatible RAM socket arm to the 1.5-inch rubber ball and tighten the arm's knob to lock your device into the desired position.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your mounting surface has an M8-1.25 threaded hole.
• Ensure the 10mm thread length is sufficient for your specific mounting point.
• Confirm that your existing socket arms are compatible with a 1.5-inch (C-size) ball.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection point to ensure the threaded stud remains tight, especially when used in high-vibration environments such as motorcycles or heavy machinery.
