PLASTIC RAIL MOUNT
Pros: low profile
Cons: installation
Don't know how my mount broke (fractured ring). It was not from over tightning and the ball was not exposed to being knocked off! I prefer the ring profile over the U-bolt version but installation is tedious on handle bars - must remove parts to slip over bar. Would be nice to have a flexible rubber clamp system (dont really like the tyrap style either).

HANDY
Pros: adds mounting flexibility
I bought several of these to mount on boat rails / handlebars in location where I sometimes want to mount a GPS. Its easy to add some backing (tape / piece of EPDM, etc) to make a good fit so I've been able to mount in lots of places.

THE PLASTIC MOUNT BROKE
Pros: very handy and light weight
Cons: it is solid on its own but vibrates with add-ons.
I have this mount installed side way (screw pointing to the sky)on the stem of my bicycle with front suspension. The plastic mount near the neck of the ball broke on a big bump while it was holding my 1.2lbs Garmin GPS.
I am going to buy this item again because it is very handy on the bike with other RAM mount add-on. Just be careful to not stretch the plastic too much. It is only plastic!

BICYCLE HANDLEBAR MOUNT
Pros: light
Cons: not extremely strong
This worked well for a while but eventually broke. There is a lot of vibration on a bicycle handlebar so I'm going to try RAM-B-231U next which looks a lot stronger.

BULLET CAMERA MOUNT
Pros: lite and effective.
Cons: may need rubber spacer material for smaller dia.
I used this item to hold a Bullet (Lipstick) Camera. It works great for that! It really keeps the vibration down to a minimum as it hugs the middle of the camera instead of attaching to the back end.

CHEAP BALL MOUNT
Pros: none
Cons: too large for small bars without padding (extra)
Garmin's stated range of bar sizes this unit will fit is way off. I'll need a lot of rubber padding to put this on a 7/8" handlebar. Garmin admits I'll need to add the padding so why don't they include it with the mount?
