RAM Mount, who has one?

Postby kb » Tue Apr 25, 2006 10:12 pm

AM needing to get a mount for my GPS (Garmin 96)
Anyone got one, or any other RAM mount - and are they sturdy and will they handle the vibrations of the trike, or will it fall apart. Basically, I am trying to avoid something that is "Made in Taiwan", (cheap and useless)

I use a RAM mount for my GPS96, iPod Nano and Handycam. I swear by them - very good quality and they have cradles & fittings for nearly any kind of application. Vibration was a problem on my Aquilla until I fitted an aluminium backing plate to my t-pod panel - no more problems.

I have a RAM mount for my Garmin V. I have used it on bikes and now in my plane. The best GPS mounts you can get without question.

Agreed. RAM is the best. Got one mounted on the bar for my GPS72 - Very robust

I use online companies MobileCX and GPSZone for RAM fittings. Courier costs are expensive but you get your order in a couple of days. I did not get what I would consider an acceptable level of service from the SA agent.

Try

I have used them - download a picture from ram-mount.com (in USA) and email it to them and they will make up the configuration you need.
