    Which team are you on, Team Ram or Team Mob Armor?

      RAM. Always!!

      In this case: RAM. Especially with the Quick Grip, since that solved all the issues the X-grip has/had.

      SUCH an improvement over the X Grip, although that option has many fans as well. Thanks for sharing.

      I switched from the X mount to the quick release after your review. Working well. The X mount made me nervous when the bands started slipping off.

    Saw the amount quick grip a couple of months ago. Went with the Ram mount, absolutely no regrets. Has access to plug in the charger on the bottom, holds securely tearing across corn fields just fine, off road, dirt and gravel roads!

    I have been using the Ram Mount for quite some time. You guys were the ones to show me I had been using it wrong. I never received the side brackets when first purchased. I was using a rubber band for the longest time and never worried about it. After watching the recent video of yours, I reached out to Ram Mount and they were super quick to send out the correct hardware at no cost. Awesome company. Ram Mount will be on all my bikes.
    Ah, a side note. Even without the side brackets, I never had an issue. Just the two point of contact held strong.

      Wow, hard to imagine how they mis-packed the copy you opened, but it reminds me of how many folks commented on our X-Grip vs. Quad Lock video, saying that they also didn't get the super glue in the package for the rubber corner nubs. Guess there's always chance for a mis-pack in products like these. Glad it never cost you your phone, and yea, much easier without a rubber band : ) Thanks for sharing.

    I use Mob Armor with Ball Ram mount..then you don't have pivot point issues. Its easy and durable. Have it on all my motorcycles. I would strongly recommend using Lock Tight on the small screws...I've had the screws vibrate loose on single track riding. Works fine, just make sure you set it tight.

    I have a quick grip that I use for my motorcycle and Jeep Cherokee dash. I got the wife one and she uses it on her Tacoma, scooter, and bicycle. They are great if you would like to use multiple cases on the same phone and extremely secure.

    With my Kyocera the M/A in the Kenworth works great. Angled corners on work phones, a thicker washer as a mount spot, and the lip on the top of the dash works better than anything the company has tried have me use. Still trying to find a place that deals with ram. Maby one day

    Quick grip all the way. Spring tension is perfect as it's very easy to get the phone in and out but it holds it tightly. I've used it in rough terrain and dropped my bike many times, phone didn't budge. I never worry about my phone coming out of it.

    • @RIDEAdventures
      @RIDEAdventures  3 роки тому +2

      Yep, it sure is a solid option. Hopefully not causing more camera damage as some folks have reported, this might be something smart phone manufacturers need to address, knowing that so many of us with active lifestyles on bikes and motorcycles and stuff is definitely a thing for the future.

      @@RIDEAdventures I just found out about the camera damage phenomenon. That sucks! ☹ So far so good for me. If I got any damage at this point I think I'd have to fault the phone and not the mount though. Or just chalk it up to experience. 100 miles of washboard is bound to have an effect on sensitive electronics so maybe that's the chance we take to play the game.

    • @RIDEAdventures
      @RIDEAdventures  3 роки тому +1

      @@jf7393, that's an excellent point. As so many comments have been made about multiple mounts on the market causing camera damage, maybe riders should keep that in mind, and just put the phone in softer tank-bag-like position for washboard and similar situations. On those types of routes, it's not like we're watching the phone every 30 seconds for directions to "turn left on 3rd street." Might be a long time before electronics can withstand. - Thanks for commenting.

      @@RIDEAdventures Too true. I think it's kind of unrealistic to expect the latest iPhone or whatever to be built to withstand offroad duty. Certainly it would be nice, but if there's damage I feel like I'm mostly at fault for wishful thinking. Love your videos, thanks for chatting!

    My top choice is the RAM Quick Grip, I've tried Ram Universal - not secure, RocForm Perch Mount - not enough adjustment options RocForm RokLock Car Dash Mount - not secure in off road; and Hondo Garage - secure but too much of an effort to quickly get in and out of holder.

    Or buy a biker gripper. Takes 1 second to insert, 1 second to remove. It’s small doesn’t take up 12 acres on your handlebar and doesn’t cost a fortune. All these phone mounts are so over engineered it’s silly.
