ARKON 25mm Ball to 17mm Ball Adapter - Black - SP25MM17

Worked

The Arkon Garmin Nuvi ball mount may not fit your model. I have the Nuvi 2797LM and it took a little sanding to make it fit the cap. See video for my work around.

I like and use RAM Mount equipment. This component allowed me to replace the mount that came with a wireless automotive phone charge bracket with RAM gear that i prefer. The end result is I ended up with a very effective RAM mount solution whilst being able to retain the wireless charging phone bracket that worked quite well but had a small ball type socket to attach to the mount.

The 17mm ball end is too small to securely hold a small Garmin NUVI GPS unit, the unit should pop onto the ball and have enough friction that the GPS will hold in position. Due to poor tolerance in the manufacturing of the ball end, the GPS unit flops around at every bump and turn. Definitely wasted money.

Perfect fit for Garmin DriveSmart 65 and 55. The ball provides a good frictional fit for the recess in the back of the Garmin. I can move the GPS to any angle I want and the ball holds it in place well. The 1 side also fits perfectly in a Ramball extension.

A useful connector to allow RAM arms and attachments to connect to and hold GPS items etc eg. Garmin

Everything rammount makes works great.

Big is better

Very sturdy
