Know before you buy
This cradle is custom-fit for the Garmin GPSMAP x76, x78, and x96 series. Please verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure a secure fit.
The cradle includes the necessary nuts and bolts to connect it to a mount, but it does not include the required RAM-B-238U or RAP-B-238U diamond base and ball. You will need to purchase one of those separately to complete your mounting setup.
This is a spring-loaded cradle designed to provide a firm, secure grip on your GPS unit. It allows for easy insertion and removal while ensuring the device remains stable during travel.
The cradle itself does not have an adjustable angle. However, because it integrates with RAM 1-inch ball systems, you can achieve your desired viewing angle by adjusting the arm and base components of your larger mounting setup.
The cradle features a standard 2-hole AMPS hole pattern with a spacing of 1.912 inches. This makes it compatible with a wide range of RAM mounting components and other industry-standard mounts.
