Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
What size screws are needed for the holes on this ball plate?
The most common screw sizes are #8, #10, M4 and M5 screws. However, if you are pairing this with any RAM® Holder, the holder will come with the necessary hardware to connect to your mount.
-
Does this mount comes with a screw that they can use to mount it to the wall? Or is it purchased separately? If so, does RAM Mount have a screw kit to recommend? https://rammount.com/products/ram-b-138-un7u
I'm afraid we are not able to provide that hardware because we do not know what type of material it is being mounted into or whether or not you have access to the back side of the surface that is being mounted to. The best resource for that type of information is usually a local hardware store. We can recommend 1/4"-20 thread pitch stainless steel.
-
How is the tether used?
If you hit the RESOURCES tab on the product page you will see the X-Grip assembly guide. This will show you how to utilize your tether for extra support holding your devise.
-
I noticed my phone can be rotated back and forth about 15 degrees when it is in the X-Grip. Is that normal?
That type of movement is totally normal for the X-Grip. When being used for less rugged applications the small amount of movement allowed is not an issue, but sometimes when traveling at higher speeds or in bumpy environments it can be. If that is causing problems in your application, it is best to use the safety tether which will prevent that type of movement by creating tension between the phone and backplate.
