What are better mounts for graphs ram or balzout? Have older ram mounts with rubber ball and not a fan. But have new ones improved?

Use some friction tape on Ram-mounts.

Get a bike inner tube and cut a piece 3-4 inches and work it on to the ball mounts, it will hold like a champ!

Sounds like a good idea. I'm going to try it.. I have a XHD mount that is rock solid. I love it. That thing will last 50 years.

I love my Ram Mount Swing Arm. The thing is rock solid in rough water.

What are better mounts for graphs ram or balzout? Have older ram mounts with rubber ball and not a fan. But have new ones improved? I have the rubber ball on two ram mounts and have no issues at all, just make sure they are tight. No issues. The balzout is a good mount also.
