Know before you buy
This mount is designed for lightweight devices such as smartphones, action cameras, and small tablets. It has a maximum weight capacity of 2 lbs, so ensure your device and its specific holder stay within this limit.
The 2.5-inch round base features the universal 4-hole AMPS pattern and a 3-hole 120-degree pattern. It is designed to be screwed into flat, solid surfaces like a dashboard, console, or bulkhead.
The short arm offers a socket-to-socket length of 1.75 inches. While it provides less reach than longer arms, it is ideal for tight spaces where you need a low-profile setup with precise positioning via the B-size ball joints.
Yes, it is constructed from marine-grade aluminum with a powder-coated finish. This makes it highly resistant to corrosion and durable enough for use in harsh environments, including boats and off-road vehicles.
Absolutely. Because this uses the standard RAM B-size 1-inch ball system, all components are modular. You can easily swap the arm for a different length or change the base or device holder as your needs evolve.
