Why is the RAM Mounts Pin-Lock safety for connecting arms important?
The RAM Mounts Pin-Lock safety and adapter for C-ball connecting arms (RAP-S-KNOB5U) offers a simple and effective way to upgrade the standard locks on C-ball connecting arms. The Pin-Lock replaces the conventional twist knob and prevents the connecting arm from unintentionally loosening under heavy vibration. At the same time it serves as theft protection, since the lock cannot be opened easily. The compact security knob made of high-strength composite blends unobtrusively into the existing mounting system and takes up hardly any additional space. Tool-free installation allows for quick replacement of the existing lock with the Pin-Lock without modifications to the connecting arm. Thus the RAP-S-KNOB5U is the ideal accessory for all RAM Mounts users who want to reliably secure their mounted devices.
For which connecting arms is the Pin-Lock suitable?
The Pin-Lock RAP-S-KNOB5U is compatible with all RAM Mounts connecting arms of the C-ball system with a ball diameter of 38.1 mm (1.5 inches). This includes both the aluminum connecting arms and the lighter composite variants. The universal fit ensures that the security knob can be integrated into almost any existing C-ball configuration. It is particularly suitable for applications where increased vibration occurs, such as in commercial vehicles, on motorcycles, off-road vehicles, or boats.
What advantages does the Pin-Lock offer compared to the standard lock?
Compared to the standard twist knob, the Pin-Lock offers significantly higher protection against accidental loosening and unauthorized opening. While the conventional knob can be opened by vibration or targeted manipulation, the Pin-Lock's locking mechanism prevents unintended turning. This keeps the mount securely closed even under demanding conditions. The low weight of only 90 g does not add additional load to the overall construction. RAM Mounts' 30-year warranty underscores the reliability of this accessory.
