    Link -> Screw down ball Ram cell phone or tablet mount for trucks

    Bottom one on the page. Check the sizing guide. Cell phones are either the small or the medium. Choose "screw down ball" as the connection type.

    These work good for me as long as you have some sort of a hard protective case for the device in question. (So you don't have to adhere something directly to the device itself)

    They are not cheap but you can find a specific mount for your rig and your phone. I have one for my iPhone and another for my gps. A8200122-3C0A-4CC4-88B5-9D660ACA1DAC.png

    5A65CAC5-4003-4872-A348-C20B7F9370FC.jpeg I make my own. It’s just a piece of tin. Bend and notch where necessary. The steel block is my template for iPhone 6 encased in Otterbox. Now if I were a highroller I would be off to walmart to drop a bundle on some plastic POS:)

    That is very nice work!

    Not all of us have detailed metal working skills. I bet you could sell those on the Truckersreport, but they probably wouldn’t want to pay you what they are worth. I stay away from the Walmart generic junk. Keep up the good work!
