RAM Double Suction Flat Plate (RAM-B-189BU)

Good suction and strong.

Was going to buy the 3 cup model but staff advised me that was overkill for my needs. They were absolutely correct. Followed their advice and got exactly what I needed to hold my tablet. Bought combo deal of 25mm ball base, X Grip II tablet holder, Double socket arm B size, Double suction flat plate. Another great purchase from JA. Thank you.

After originally purchasing a floor mount that I couldn't use because of the brackets on the front seats, I swapped that for the double suction cups. Assembly was very straight forward and mounting to the windscreen was simple. The level of suction is really good as the first use of this mount was through some pretty rough 4WD tracks and everything held firm. I had attached a 10.5" iPad Pro with cover and this also remained steady while driving. Only downfall was that I had to have it mounted so low on the window, the extension arm coming off it has scratched the dashboard. Overall however, it is good and extremely effective.

The product is used in my aircraft to hold an ipad. To make it work I have to position the suction caps in the vertical. There is a slight curve in the perspex windshield. Accordingly, the top suction cap does NOT seal as it should and regular checking is required to ensure that it does not come crashing to the floor without warning; which it has done.I wonder is some silicon gel would not be a solution? In very hot weather the suction ability is also compromised. I am also wondering if the suction ability degrades when the surface is perspex rather than glass? If it is, then perhaps a different suction cap should be available. As most General aviation aircraft have perspex windows rather than glass windows, I think it would be beneficial to have a better designed suction caps. There was one other irritation. An Allen key was required to unscrew a superfluous threaded shank that came with the small ball and base. The Allen Key was not supplied, which was an irritant at the time of assembly. Given these shortcomings, I am very pleased to be able to have my iPad in a position where I can see it at all times and without it obscuring other instruments.

Great product to help set up my mobile office
