Reviews
I love these RAM products. This suction cup base holds an iPad Mini 4 with no problem. What I needed. Fast shipping!
I want to support an iPad Mini. Do not know if it will as I havent got to try it yet but I love all other Ram products.
Pay close attention to the point about non-porous surfaces in the Q&A. I tried mounting this temporarily (for a flight sim) on painted drywall at home, and it drops off after a few minutes. You *need* to mount this on metal or glass, or plastic as a last resort.
This is my second ball mount from Ram. I just replaced the first one because the rubber suction cup is so thin that it deforms over time due to heat (I keep it out of the sun) in my planes cabin. The deformed cup will no longer hold suction. Other than that, I like the Ram cup. I do wish they would make the cup with thicker rubber.
One of the screw holes seems to be stripped and the screw doesnt seem to catch firmly.
Q&A
The twist lock is for applying suction to the glass.
We recommend using the double suction when mounting tablets. Please see part number 11-12943 for the double suction base.
Yes, it will hold, but if you expect to experience turbulence you may consider using the double suction cup mount, either part # 11-18174 or part # 11-14087.
