Included are easy access grip knobs located on the back of the cradle for quick release of your tablet. No matter what double socket arm and mounting base you pair the RAM® X-Grip® with, RAM® ball and socket technology allows for near-infinite adjustability to achieve the ideal viewing angle – while also extending the life of your phone by providing shock and vibration damping. The RAM® X-Grip® tablet holder includes a device tether recommended for added security and peace of mind.

It is important to verify the dimensions of device with its case, sleeve, or skin when determining the overall size.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

-
Will this work with a Garmin Drivesmart 86? Do you offer anything else thay would work with that GPS?
Yes, this will work with your Garmin Drivesmart 86. As of right now we do not have a specific mount for your Garmin.
-
I noticed my tablet 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.
-
How long are the tabs that hold the tablet? My fold has a pen holder on back and need about an inch + to be able to hold the phone securely.
The length of the arms that come forward is about 7/8", which means this holder will not be able to support devices that require a thickness greater than 7/8".
