X grip / ram mount

[kjang]

I was debating should I order a new gps (garmin) or go exiting gps that I already have (problem no blue tooth) or go with smartphone.

I decided on the smartphone since I have one personal and one for work.
Plus, I can tie into the blue tooth on my sena SH10r and I can listen to music if I so choose to.
I ordered the x grip with the ram mount.

Mounted the x grip and ram mount on the handle bar. EASY.
Very solid mount. Stays clamped on very well. It has a 1" ball onto a 4" joint than receives the 1" ball. Easy to remove and tighten. The x grip is pretty neat on how it works. Once you open up the grippers on the x grip, it securely closes onto the smart phone.

The mount and x grip works together well, giving alot of different positions.




and it can be removed easily so if your at a rest stop, shopping center, restaurant. So it won't get stolen.

Yep, they work great. In fact, I just bought the x grip two weeks ago after seeing bamamate's last spring.

For another way to mount the RAM ball near the center of the bars, look here: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/514-ram-b-367u-mount-base-gps-etc.html

That's what I use, but with the real short RAM arm.

The only time I’ve had my phone move in the Xmount was a long washboard section on a dirt road. Moved a millimeter or two. Thought I had lost a couple fillings on that section of road. I’ve gotten to where I never worry about the phone falling out even off-road.

I saw bamamate's first hand. I probably would have gotten the x-grip but they did not sell it at the dealer. I went with the RAM mount for smart phones instead. It is very good too.

I had my iPhone 5 in a LifeProof case mounted with the X-Grip. Didn't move a bit in my recent crash, http://youtu.be/ZB-vdrpZyrs . Very well made mount.

Haven't had a bit of problem with mine either.
