RAM MOUNTS Short Double Socket Arm for C‑Size 1.5" Balls — Powder‑Coated Marine‑Grade Aluminium, Spring‑Loaded Dual‑Socket

RAM MOUNTS Short Double Socket Arm is a compact, marine-grade aluminum linkage that gives you near-infinite adjustment between two 1.5" C-size balls for precise device placement.

This short double socket arm by RAM MOUNTS is engineered to deliver tight, repeatable positioning where space is limited. It uses RAM's dual-socket design with an internal spring to open and close the sockets, permitting smooth pivoting and easy tightening. Finished in powder-coated marine-grade aluminum, the arm resists corrosion and wear in harsh environments while keeping vibrational looseness to a minimum. The result is a compact, dependable connector ideal for marine, industrial, and vehicle-mounted accessories that require a sturdy intermediate joint.

How does this arm provide precise viewing angles?

The double socket construction clamps securely around two 1.5" C-size balls, giving you multi-axis adjustments without play. The internal spring mechanism opens the sockets for easy repositioning, then holds tension so you can lock the angle firmly with the knob.

• Dual-socket linkage for multi-axis articulation
• Internal spring opens sockets for quick adjustment
• Knob-tightening lets you fix angles without tools
• Compact length reduces leverage and unwanted movement

What materials and finish protect it in outdoor or marine use?

RAM MOUNTS builds this short arm from marine-grade aluminum with a durable powder-coat finish that helps prevent corrosion and surface damage. The materials and coating are chosen to withstand salt spray, humidity, and repeated handling.

• Marine-grade aluminum resists rust and fatigue
• Powder-coat finish adds impact and weather resistance
• Hardware and socket interfaces designed for long-term durability

Will it fit my existing RAM ball bases and accessories?

This arm is sized for RAM C-size 1.5" balls, making it compatible with any standard RAM bases and devices that accept that ball diameter. Its short length is ideal as a mid-link between a base and a device cradle.

• Compatible with RAM 1.5" C-size ball mounts and cradles
• Works as an extension or replacement arm in RAM modular systems
• Compact profile reduces torque on mounting surfaces

How does the socket technology affect installation and use?

The socket design allows near-infinite adjustment without disassembling the mount: the spring opens the socket for ball insertion, and the tightening knob secures the position. That makes field adjustments quick and repeatable and minimizes downtime when repositioning equipment.

• Spring-loaded sockets speed setup and reconfiguration
• No special tools required to change angles or devices
• Stable clamping reduces movement from vibration or bumps

Who is this for? The RAM MOUNTS Short Double Socket Arm for C Size 1.5" Balls suits professionals and enthusiasts who need a compact, reliable articulating link: marine and boating operators, fleet and commercial vehicle installers, industrial equipment technicians, and anyone mounting GPS units, tablets, cameras, or instrumentation in confined spaces. If you require corrosion-resistant materials, secure multi-axis adjustment, and compatibility with the RAM modular ball-and-socket ecosystem, this short arm is designed to meet those needs without adding bulk or compromise.
