RAM Mounts X-Grip Phone Mount with Twist-Lock Low Profile Suction Base

The RAM Mounts X-Grip Phone Mount with Twist-Lock Low Profile Suction Base is a high-quality, versatile mounting solution designed to keep your smartphone secure and accessible. This passive holder features a robust spring-loaded cradle that expands and contracts to fit a wide range of mobile phones, ensuring a custom fit without the need for bulky foam or plastic covers. The system utilizes a 1-inch rubber ball and socket technology, allowing for near-infinite adjustment to achieve the perfect viewing angle in any vehicle.

Advantages

This mount offers exceptional stability and reliability due to its high-strength composite construction and secure twist-lock suction cup base. The suction mechanism is specifically engineered to maintain a firm grip on glass and non-porous plastic surfaces, providing peace of mind during travel. Its four-leg design ensures that your device remains firmly in place while keeping the screen and buttons fully accessible. The inclusion of a device tether provides an extra layer of security, making it particularly suitable for outdoor environments where vibrations or movement are more frequent.

Suitable for

• Cars and trucks for hands-free navigation
• Boats and yachts for secure device placement
• Scooters and motorcycles where a stable mount is required
• Use on any glass or non-porous plastic surface

When it may not be suitable

This mount may not be suitable for devices that fall outside the specified width and depth dimensions, such as very large tablets or exceptionally thick ruggedized phones. Additionally, it is not designed for attachment to porous, textured, or uneven surfaces, as these will prevent the suction cup from creating a reliable vacuum seal.

How to use

To install, clean the target surface thoroughly to ensure it is free of dust and debris. Place the suction cup base against the glass or non-porous surface and rotate the twist-lock mechanism until firm resistance is felt, indicating a secure seal. Adjust the double socket arm by loosening the side knob to position your device at the desired angle, then tighten the knob to lock it in place. Insert your phone into the X-Grip cradle by expanding the spring-loaded arms. For outdoor or high-vibration applications, attach the included tether to your device for added security.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact dimensions of your phone, including any protective case or skin, against the cradle's capacity.
• Ensure your vehicle has a suitable glass or smooth plastic surface for the suction base.
• Consider the environment of use; always use the provided tether for outdoor or high-motion activities.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, periodically clean the suction cup with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or oils. Always ensure the twist-lock mechanism is fully engaged before starting your journey.
