5 Stars Works well
Good suction. Swivels in all directions. Stays put. Easy removal.

It is practical and portable. I like the convenience of being able to place it in any car, as it is not a permanent mount. It is a little hard to place/remove the GPS in the mount, however.

4 Stars Ram Mounting Systems Suction Cup mount for GPSMAP 76CSX
This unit did everything it was supposed to. I have two other types of mounts and this really was the most versital. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the some what difficulty in getting the GPS into the holder. It was very easy to position and reposition. It tilted easily, held the expensive GPS very safely. At first the thought the price was a little high but now I think it was right on the money and was a very worthy purchase.

5 Stars Raw mount for my Garmin 76 CSx
This thing is built at a very high quality level; the suction cup you can’t even pull the suction cup off of anything when engaged

5 Stars Rugged device
When mounted in my car this thing acts as if it is mounted via bolts, not suction cup to the windhshield. No vibration or slippage at all. I can press buttons without having to support the device at the same time. This thing is much, much better than anything garmin has to offer.

It’s not compact but the reach this unit offers really makes it easy to find a good position for the not so small gps underneath a sloped windshield and once installed doesn’t look too big relative to the dash of the car.

My only complaint is that removing the gps from the mount is a two hand affair, not easy at all. You have to pry the 2 wings away from each other to allow the gps to slide out of the bracket. When I want to stow the gps when parked I just remove the whole assembly from the windshield. That makes for a bit more work when setting the thing back up.

5 Stars Great Product
I like this product because it is adaptable for different bases and mounts. The suction cup holds tight and all the parts are high quality. It adjusts to different positions easily and the holder for the unit fits tightly so it won’t bounce out.

4 Stars Pretty nice set up
The unit overall works pretty well. Holds firm and looks nice. I didn’t really like the lower mounting hardware (U bolts, nuts), it seemed to be a little less than the rest of the unit, thats why I took one star, but it works OK. I would buy again for sure. Lots of positions are a plus. The biggest drawback is that the GPS made for this unit has a screen that is too small to see much when on a moving motorcycle, but of course this is not a problem with this mount.

5 Stars Just what I needed
I’ve used two other handlebar mounts to secure Garmin GPS devices to my dirt bike’s bars. This is the first one that’s actually impressed me.

The RAM mount holds the GPS right where you want it with very little vibration.

You can quickly adjust the bracket’s arm to position the GPS wherever you want it (almost).

The mount itself (the part that actually holds the GPS) is firm enough to securely hold the GPS with no worries that it might fall out, but it’s also really simple to insert and remove the GPS. The top fingers of the mount spread apart with a little pressure and the GPS just slides out (no tools or adjustments required).

My only complaint is that the bracket’s arm swivels to any position you want, but once you have it positioned, you can’t necessarily rotate the GPS in every direction (tilt up/down, tilt side to side, and rotate clockwise/counterclockwise), so you sometimes have to compromise between the angle of the GPS and the position of the arm. The workable positions aren’t infinite, but there are enough good positions that it’s not hard to find one that’s OK.

I’m not an engineer, so I don’t know how they could improve that without sacrificing the security of the bracket arm’s connection and the ease of adjustment.

So it’s actually 4.75 stars, but I’ll give it a 5.

5 Stars Simple, Strong, and Durable.
I mounted my Garmin etrex Venture HC to the handlebar of my Yamaha XT225 dualsport motorcycle using this RAM mount.

Installation was straightforward, and the ball mount let’s me adjust to many different positions. This was really helpful, as free space is scarce on the handlebar, limiting my options for where to attach it.

This mount holds my GPS unit firmly, allowing no noticeable vibration. I even dropped my bike at 25mph when I hit a patch of ice on a dirt road, and the GPS stayed perfectly still, out of harm’s way. I am impressed.

I also like how easy it is to remove my GPS unit from the mount. When I park the bike in public, I do not want to leave the GPS out in the open for someone to snag, and removing it from this mount is as easy as pulling open the two tabs at the top.

Great product!

4 Stars Works Well
Purchased this product due to the fact that I didn’t know what I really needed. The only reason I didn’t give this product a 5 star was due to the u-bolt that mounts it to the handle bars wasn’t coated with anything, so the handle bars will probable have a scratch when I take it off. The product works great for my Garmin Etrex Legend. I used it for several long rides and it was nice to be able to adjust it to any angle. This is a nice item that works well.

5 Stars Ram Mounting systeim is super
The Ram mount I bought for my Garmin GPSMAP 276C is great. Its well made from aluminum and high quality plastic. It attached to the windshield and has very little vibration. It’s fantastic.

5 Stars Solid Mount
A well made, solid mount! The GPS can be placed in virtually any position, regardless of where the mount is placed. And the suction cup is second to none; it will not fall off if the surface is smooth and clean.

5 Stars Better than the old one!
Fits perfectly and keep your GPS attached firm and secure as it should, differently from other brands and from their own old model. This one deserves five stars!

5 Stars Gareat Garmin Bracket

4 Stars Not too bad
Definately an upgrade from the standard, short mount.

Great suction power (make sure to activate the lever on the base).

A bit of vibration but that also depends on the car’s ride.

Finally, I can see the screen in good detail!

5 Stars Great Mount, Great Price!!!
This is a great product, the mount the Tom Tom came with I did not like, as I drive a large SUV and can not mount anything to my front window and it was difficult to see. With this mount I can adjust it for the lighting, with the navi mat it is perfect for my dash and it is great. Highly recommended.

3 Stars Good mounting kit
The original mounting kit for the TomTom 720 is too short. This one, on the otherhand, is a little too long. This is seen in a vibration that sets up once the car is underway. Too bad there isn’t one that is about half the length of this one. That said, I still like it much, much better than what TomTom supplied. This one has a much superior window clamp than the one supplied by TomTom. Once clamped, it is there. Not so with the TomTom kit.

1 Star Too much vibration
I lost my Windshield Mount and bought this one.

I thought flexibility will be nice but it vibrates too much!

It’s annoying.

I agree that suction is much better than the one that came but I just can’t use a gps that makes me have to focus on it more time that I should because it is vibrating.

5 Stars alt mount for tom tom 920
this mount is great. put your tom tom in comforable reach. a nice addition to make mounting the tom tom beter.
