UNIVERSAL FINGER GRIP CLAMPING CRADLE GREAT FOR G1

I was looking for a solution for my Google G1 Android phone. This cradle is perfect! This allows me to put the phone in an easy line of site so I can answer with speaker phone and keep my eyes on the road. Of course, I live in a state where being on the phone while driving is not yet outlawed, but I still see the importance of hands-free and the little blue tooth head set is just part of the solution.

UNIVERSAL MOUNT

It appears to hold my trimble Juno SB well. It's almost like the three different sets of holding fingers were not intended for this GPS but does do an adequate job.

I had to "rob" the back plate bracket that mounts to the ram ball from another RAM mount that I own.

Pros: easy to assemble
Cons: did not come with back bracket to mount to ram bal
Recommend: YES

UGLY, BUT FUNCTIONAL

This is certainly the ugliest, ungainly mount I've encountered, but the flexibility makes it all worthwhile. Mine had 5 short and 3 medium fingers, but it turned out that the longest fingers were best for my AT&T Tilt.

Pros: flexible and adjustable
Cons: appearance
Recommend: YES

AWFUL AND FAILED

was recommended to buy this for teh iPhone, since I didn't want to remove my cover on my phone to use the other one available. One of the clips simply failed and the phone slid out during a bicycle ride. I didn't even notice it slip away and luckily somebody found it on the road and called us to return the phone (miraculous, I know). So I do NOT recommend this due to the weakness of the clips....there is a weak point where it 'curls' and it's way too easy to break with any stress whatsoever.

Pros: none
Cons: the clips are weak
Recommend: NO

BEST UNIVERSAL MOUNT, GREAT FOR GPS, MP3 OR IPHONE

Perhaps you could learn from my mistakes. I bought a TomTomOne 140 from Futureshop while planning a trip on my Gold Wing. I looked locally for a mounting for it. The TomTom has an unusual built in fitting for auto use and because of this, it makes it awkward to fit to anything else. Anyway I found GPS City on the web. This is a well set out website which trades in the US and Canada, but I didn't see my model listed. I did go back to Futureshop to see if they had another model similar to compare size to get a correct fitting, the last thing you want is for the GPS to jump off your bike at 65mph. Anyway I ordered a different mount which turned out to be far too large for the TT. So much for internet shopping so I decided to get the 'universal mount'. It is about 5" long by 2.5" wide and a half inch thick. It comes with a selection of different sizes of 'fingers' of different heights really and four neoprene grips which slide over your chosen ones. I have fitted five on mine and it holds different sized items rather than one which I really like. This means I can use this with my GPS, Sansa Fuze or Iphone and even my camera all without changing the fingers. These are all different sizes, so by just setting the fastners a little loose I can adjust them to grip either of my devices. GPS City ship very fast as they go by courier, so if you choose the wrong one it will cost nearly as much for the product for shipping so choose wisely! Live long and prosper! PS if you are fitting this to a motorcycle handlebar, you need to use a pair of washers between the back of the ram mount and the diamond shaped plate otherwise the mount will not sit flat or allow the fingers to be moved in or out. I was annoyed at first but the washers seem to have done it OK for me. You will have to get longer screws for the handlebar clamp, I used Allen screws.

Pros: can be used with a variety of devices
Cons: read above
Recommend: YES

UNIVERSAL MOUNT

The product itself is quality and flexible for use with numerous electronic devices. On a touring bike or car it would be fine. However, I am using it on a sportbike with a tankbag with an IPOD Nano 8gb. The product is much larger than the IPOD and hits the tank bag/windscreen when turning sharp (parking), but is fine when riding. I sent pictures to RAM with a suggestion they make a smaller universal mount or a product specific mount, but I've got no response from them.

Pros: good quality
Cons: too large for my application
Recommend: YES

RAM MOUNT UNIVERSAL

Works great! I use it to mount my two way radios on a dirt bike and a Rhino. Even after a spill on the bike, the radio stayed in the mount. Mount is adjustable for a large range of devices.

Pros: adjustable, accept large range of devices
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

UNIVERSAL MOUNT

Excellent mount, I used it on my bike to hold my n95 and a friend tried it out on a point and shoot camera.

It is very stable and does not move @ all.

What I like about it, it's versatile.

Highly recommended if you want a multipurpose cradle/mount

Pros: versatile
Cons: ugly looking
Recommend: YES
