Overview

The RAM® Universal Drill-Down Vertical Laptop Mount (RAM-VBD-128-SW3) installs quickly and easily into most vehicles by using self-tapping screws or by drilling and then bolting down the mount base to the vehicle*. This configuration provides a telescoping feature with upper and lower poles that allow you to set your mount to the desired height with the simple turn of a knob. Dual swing arms provide articulation and 12 inches of reach for passenger and driver access to the mounted device. The patented rubber ball-and-socket joint provides additional adjustment, as well as shock and vibration isolation. The RAM Tough-Tray™ is spring-loaded to accommodate 10" to 17" (measured diagonally). The arms adjust vertically and horizontally to provide a custom fit for laptops of varying thicknesses while keeping ports and drives accessible. Compatible accessories, including a screen support and USB light, are also available to further customize your mounting setup.

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.
