Overview

Get the perfect shot from your action camera when you're out on the water with the Tough-Pole™. This kit consists of a 1.5" short double socket arm, 12" PVC pipe, a B size short double socket arm connected to a 4" PVC pipe, and another B size short double socket arm at the top that adapts to the universal action camera adapter. The various ball and socket components allow you to adjust your mount at virtually any angle, and offer the ability to collapse and stow away when not in use. Any action camera with a two-pronged attachment (including GoPro®) will work with the action camera adapter, and the bottom socket can attach to any RAM 1.5" ball base.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Can it be used with only one section at times?

    If you wrap electrical tape around the ends of the PVC pipes used in a RAP-201-B-12-4-A-GOP1 before inserting them into the female pipe posts, you can create temporary connections rather than gluing them into place and creating permanent connections.

  • Can the Tough-Pole 30" Socket Arm with Universal Camera mount be used on a street motorcycle? Part#:RAP-201-B-12-4-A-GOP1 UPC:793442954894

    The Tough Pole products, like the RAP-201-B-12-4-A-GOP1, are intended for light duty use like filming while in a kayak.  RAM does not currently offer a similar product line that would be recommended for filming from a moving motorcycle.

Size Guide

Ball sizes

  • C Size — this product 1.5" ball
  • D Size 2.25" ball

Every RAM® mount is built around a rubber ball and socket system. The ball size sets how much weight the mount can carry. Match it to your device for smooth adjustment with a rock-solid hold.

Size Ball Diameter Max Load* Best For

*Approximate capacity for a standard ball with a mid-length arm. Shorter arms and steel-reinforced posts increase real-world capacity.

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.
