Questions? |
|
I have a NavMan GPS that slides on the
back of my IPAQ and am looking for a cradle that holds it.
RAM-HOL-CO1
I have a palm m515. Which cradle will fit that PDA?
RAM-HOL-PD1 = his cradle works for the m100, 105, 125, 130,
500, 515 and models with similar dimensions. It does not accommodate
expansion sleeves.
Which cradle fits the HP Jornada?
RAM-HOL-PD1 = This cradle works for the 540, 545, 547, 548,
models and those with similar case type and dimensions.
Will the cradle for the iPAQ accommodate the black protective
sleeve that is on my PDA?
Yes, however the fit in the cradle will be tighter. Be more
gentle when putting your PDA into, and removing it from, the
holder.
I have a Compaq iPAQ pocket PC H3150. Will the RAM-HOL-CO1
work for this device?
Yes. This is the recommended cradle and it will also allow the
use of an expansion sleeve. |

|
| 8. I have an older GPS
that does not have a custom cradle listed? What is available? |
|
| The RAM-B-120B with 1 ball and RAM-120B with
1.5 ball will accommodate most hand held devices. This universal
cradle can be seen at http://www.ram-mount.com/drawings.htm
Look up the RAM-120B in the PDF column. The cradle is the same
for both ball sizes. This unit is very durable and versatile.
It comes with foam inserts and has a quick release feature. |

|
|
| 9. How much weight can
the different ball sizes support? |
|
1 ball mounts = 0 to 5 pounds
1.5 ball mounts = to 10 pounds
2.25 ball mounts = 10 to 15 pounds
If you call the folks at RAM, they will ask where the mount
will be installed as this greatly influences the amount of weight
that can be supported. In mobile applications which RAM is perfect
for, the above weight limits are a safe guide. |
|
|
|
| 10. Do RAM mounts really
dampen shock and vibration? |
|
| The answer is yes. The patented design utilizes
a rubber ball and socket that greatly reduces the amount vibration
that can be transmitted into electronics. No other mounting
system on the market today offers this feature in a more durable,
compact, and functional way. |
