QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • I have your double suction cup for my Ipad Pro - but, it's pretty bulky and partially blocks my vision out of the front windshield. So, would this single suction cup be strong enough for an iPad Pro (11" tablet)?

    When mounting tablets, we would recommend going with our double or triple suction cup base for the best performance. 

  • Is the suction cup strong enough to hold an IPad Mini?

    Yes, the suction cup that is included with RAM-B-166-103U is strong enough to support an iPad mini.

Reading part numbers

The letter after RAM tells you the ball size: RAM-B-166 uses a 1" B ball, while RAM-D-201 uses a 2.25" D ball. C size parts are the exception and carry no letter, so RAM-201U is a C size arm.
