RAM X-GRIP PHONE MOUNT
HAVING YOUR PHONE MOUNTED safely and securely while you’re driving is important. It means you’ll always know where it is, which in turn means less fumbling to accept or make a (hands-free) call while you’re driving. That will allow you to keep your focus where it needs to be – on the road ahead.
Running navigation apps on our phones while we drive is also an everyday occurrence, assuming your vehicle doesn’t have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto capabilities. So you’ll want to mount your phone almost in your line of sight, where the quickest glance at the screen will tell you which off-ramp to take, without really having to take your eyes off the road.
The X-Grip Phone Mount (SKU: RAM-B-166-UN7U) from RAM, with its powerful twist-lock suction cup that attaches firmly to the inside your windscreen, offers all of that. The ‘X’ design expands or contracts, providing the perfect fit for a wide variety of smartphone devices. After you’ve attached the suction cup exactly where you want it, the medium-length socket arm lets you achieve the perfect viewing angle. Built-in shock and vibration damping reduces shuddering that might be transferred from the vehicle, keeping phone and screen easier to look at.
Components are made of powder-coated marine-grade aluminium, stainless steel, and high-strength composite, so there’s little chance of it ever corroding. But for added peace of mind, a lifetime warranty is included.
This tough and secure mount comes highly recommended, for lower-risk (and responsible) phone use while you’re behind the wheel.
