Pros: does the job well
Cons: shakes a little too much

I use it with an ipad mounted on passenger seat bolt. I very much like the product, but it needs something to stabilize it at the center point. It's shakes a little too much.

FANTASTIC... ONCE INSTALLED

Pros: excellent device build quality and functionality
Cons: installation isn't for amateurs

My configuration: Vehicle Floor Mount with Octagon Button End, Universal Rubber Grip Phone Cradle RAM-HOL-UN5U, Diamond Plate with 1 inch Ball RAM-B-238U.

Installation: didn't have the smoothest time getting this installed. First, when I ordered it, the customer service rep left out a necessary component. I can understand his confusion because I ordered an atypical configuration, but having to wait extra time was an annoyance. Next, installation was tricky. It was still irritatingly wobbly when I was done, and I ended up going to a local car stereo installation place to get it properly installed. If you're someone who's more comfortable with tools, you'll probably be fine, but if you're un-handy like me, you'll be better off if you bite the bullet and get it professionally installed (I paid $15-- irksome, because this is not a cheap product to begin with).

The product itself: excellent. Every component is sturdy, rock-solid, rugged. One minor quibble is that the base is difficult to untighten if you want to adjust the position, but I suppose that's better than it being too loose. Best of all, unlike any other mount I've found, you can switch out cradles so the mount can hold a smartphone or a tablet.

In summary: I spent a fair bit of time researching my options before I chose this mount, and despite the difficulty of the installation and the relatively high cost, the exceptional build quality and flexibility of this product have made me very happy.

GOOD MOUNT, NEEDS BRACING FOR A HEAVY TABLET.

Pros: keeps shape once bent
Cons: fittings at top and bottom rack enough to create p

I mounted this in my Chrysler Town & Country to hold my Motorola Xoom and it holds well, however when manipulating it there was some play, I fabricated a simple bracket to brace the tablet cradle to my Panavise bracket with X cradle for my cell phone and now it's great. This bracket holds the weight of the tablet and the one I made limits motion.
