You’ll find that there will be some spinning and movement with a RAM mount because they are made to be adjustable. If you find yours is moving more than you’d like, you can try these ideas to tighten it:
- The RAM mount adjustment knob, or thumbscrew, is the main way to adjust the mount. Work with that at a few adjustment levels to find one that suits your needs.
- Incorrect RAM mount ball sizes can cause spinning. Check if the ball size is the right one for your RAM mount.
