    Have been looking for the right charger and way to do this for a while for my ram mount (which I love). Hit your vid and everything I need was right here. Already have ordered the charger. THANK YOU!!!

    Thanks for the video, I had exactly this idea and thought to myself if it works, someone has already done it. There are already ram mounts with induction integrated but they are very expensive and if you already have the X-Grip it is a good solution.

      Glad you found it helpful. Yes we saw those Ram chargers and thought they were way too much, this has been a good budget solution. Thanks for watching!

    • @NarrowRoadAdventures

      Super! Yes, not sure why I didn’t think of tape. I guess I just used what I had. 3M makes some good tape for something like this.

    Why hasn’t RAM integrated the MagSafe charger like this? This is exactly how I envisioned the integration. Nicely done🤙

      It gives the adhesive a good grab on the two attached pieces.

    Cool video. The ram mount version is like $100. What size ram mount balls are you using. B or C? Also does the X holder work well for you phone?

    • @NarrowRoadAdventures
      @NarrowRoadAdventures  2 роки тому

      I wasn’t aware of them having different size balls, sorry can’t help there. The Xmount holds the phone pretty good, only downside is it wants to grab where my iPhone X has its volume and power buttons so I have to position it up a bit and hit the sweet spot where it holds it, doesn’t push a button, and still charges. If I re-made it I would have positioned the charger up a bit more.

    • @NarrowRoadAdventures
      @NarrowRoadAdventures  2 роки тому

      As far as holding it, it’s Strong, has never fallen out and barely shakes. Every once in a great while with temp changes the suction cup might let go.

    Awesome but does it charge through your case??

    • @NarrowRoadAdventures
      @NarrowRoadAdventures  Рік тому +1

      It depends on the charger used. This one charges fine through my thin otterbox case so long as my phone is centered to the charger.

    • @Firefighter8253
      @Firefighter8253 3 роки тому +4

      Well since no one replied I went ahead and did this and tested it also in the rain and have not had any issues caused by rain, it works great! I did need to replace the cord not due to the 45 degree angle but due to the fact the cord it came with fit loose and from the vibrations of a Harley would vibrate out. New cord for tighter and resolved the issue! Also I used 3m double sided tape instead of the adhesive in the video and have had no issues.

    Is that wireless charger waterproof?

    • @NarrowRoadAdventures
      @NarrowRoadAdventures  3 роки тому

      I couldn’t say, you might check out the link and the product description. I would think it to be water resistant but not proof.

    20 bucks huh, no ram product is ever that cheap.

    • @NarrowRoadAdventures
      @NarrowRoadAdventures  Рік тому +1

      Lol “$20 DIY Wireless Charger …FOR Ram mount” as the title describes, $20 is for the charger addition, not the mount. The chargers have actually gotten cheaper so now it only costs about $12.
