Know before you buy
Yes, the mount features a drill-down base designed specifically for vertical surfaces. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the mount and your device.
The standard capacity of 4 lbs is intended for general use, while the 3 lb heavy-duty rating accounts for the increased vibration and stress experienced in more rugged environments, such as on a boat or in an off-road vehicle.
