RAM MOUNTS X-Grip Tablet Mount for 7"-8" Tablets with Medium Arm

I have a portable CARPLAY radio which requires a suction mount. This unit is quite heavy. The mount that came with the radio does not work. It falls down after a few minutes. I have try 2 other mounts I purchased from Amazon and they failed to do the job also. I ran into the RAM mount and saw the price. Initially I wanted something less expensive but finally took the plunge. I have been using it for over a month and it hasn't fail once. It stayed on the windshield with no problem. Well worth the price.

I'm a pilot and I use this mount for my iPad mini 5 whenever I go flying. haven't had any issues with it and holds like a champ. build quality is great. this mount will also hold some larger phones as I use this to hold my Samsung S21+ in the car. it won't fit perfectly but it works. will update you if I have any issues.

This product is awesome. I’ve been looking for something to mount my iPad on flights so it’s up high and not on my legs. I didn’t want one that mounts to the yoke because I want it to remain stationary. I can spend more time with my eyes outside the cockpit instead of looking down and quickly reference my tablet while doing my instrument cross checks. The one I got has no axial rotation and the tablet stays put. If you have rotation on the base like others have had, I would return it and exchange it for another one. The arm is the perfect length, I can mount it in front of my ADS-B receiver and I don’t have to worry about it getting in the way of the yoke. I may have to play around with it a little bit to find the perfect spot to mount it so it’s not interfering with any instruments, but I’m happy with it and highly recommend it to anyone.

Love this mount! Super reliable, and easy to use. We use it for my daughter iPad on road trips and it never fails. Easy to figure out, fits an iPad mini just perfect! Withstands the vibrations in the car just fine!

I love how easy this ram iPad mount is to use, it’s sturdy and doesn’t move during flight. The suction cup is powerful and hasn’t dropped even during temperature fluctuations. Once the position is set, you only have to stick it to the window and remove when done. Getting my iPad off of my leg, off of the yoke, has allowed me to be more focused on flying and less on worrying about if I’ve accidentally hit the iPad screen and moved my position.

Does all the stuff it's known for very well. In particular the X-arms have finger tabs behind the tablet that allows you to squeeze and release it. One irritating problem is that with a 7" tablet there is about 10 deg. of free ration at the X clamp. Inexplicably all that suction and awesome adjustments, but X arm portion floops around and the tablet won't stay horizontal.

This one works the best. I bought 3. This one, yolk mounted one and Pivot mount. I use a pivot case for my iPad and it works fine for my purposes. The pivot mount however was returned. This will work well with Otterbox Pivot or naked iPad. It's simple. Great suction. Will work on textured surfaces. Just plain works!

I have suctioned the iPad mound to the metal pillar in my C140 and it has been holding that way for months! Note that in order to mount a device in this location you will likely need the RAM arm that articulates in the middle, which I ordered separately. But I've been very happy with how strong this mount holds even in a rough environment. I've ordered a number of RAM products and will continue to do so.
