Know before you buy
The X-Grip cradle is designed to accommodate most 7-inch tablets, provided the device dimensions fall within the cradle's expansion range. We recommend measuring your tablet's width and depth to ensure a secure fit within the spring-loaded arms.
Yes, the Tough-Claw is engineered to grip both round and flat surfaces, such as handlebars, rails, or even table edges. Its rubberized pads provide a firm hold on irregular shapes, making it highly versatile for different mounting environments.
The long arm provides extra reach and articulation, which is ideal if you need to position your tablet further away from the mounting point or require a specific viewing angle that a shorter arm cannot achieve. If your mounting space is tight, you may find the extra length creates more vibration than a shorter arm.
RAM highly recommends using a secondary tether for all open-cockpit or high-vibration applications. While the X-Grip is very secure, a tether provides an essential failsafe to prevent your device from falling in the event of extreme impact or unexpected movement.
Yes, the 1-inch ball-and-socket system allows for near-infinite adjustment. You can easily rotate your tablet 360 degrees and tilt it to your preferred angle, allowing you to switch between portrait and landscape modes on the fly.
