What is the depth of this mount (from the base to the top of the ball) and would the adhesive tape hold the weight of a 7" Garmin?

mine is still sticking there with my nuvi 50 Garmin on it. I don't understand the depth question. Great product!

1 3/4". The part that is tighten by the nut will hold, but not sure about the bracket that connects to the other end, clipped onto Garmin. I have mine mounted on my motorcycle, and it holds my Garmin Nuvi (3"x4") pretty well, considering all the vibration of the motorcycle. The adhesive tape is holding pretty steady. In fact, I'd probably have to cut it off to remove it. It's on pretty solid. It's been on my bike for about a year.

I think its about 1-1/2 inches, and I have had a 7" Garmin on it for about 9 months now and it is doing a great job.

I don't have the exact measurement, but it's around an inch. I use mine to hold a 5" garmin and haven't had any troubles. The glue seems pretty solid.

They have two of them, the one you are asking about is 1 3/4" tall (base to top of ball)... There is also a longer one (that Amazon also sells), that one is 2 1/4" (base to top of ball)... I use the short one in my truck, it stands up to me plowing snow and has never come off, I also hang my plow control off of it when I don't have the GPS with me... I broke the plastic nut (over tightening it), that was my flat, not the products... I was going to take the plastic nut off and try a regular nut, than I just got smart and ordered a new one to replace this one and I don't hang the plow control off from it any longer... :-) Buy it, you will be very happy with it...

With the ball straight out it is approx. 1.5 inches from the dash, if you collapse it to either side it stands out about 1 inch to the back of the 7 " Garmin mount. I have about 6mths of use to-date (California to B.C) with the mount and the adhesive will hold the weight of the seven inch Garmin (make sure you mount on a flat surface for full adhesive contact. I have had to snug up the ball jam nut a few times due to rough roads to keep the GPS straight.

The RAM holder is only compatible with RAM mounts. You can't use this cradle directly on a Garmin ball pedestal. The connection on the back is a diamond shaped adapter.

It doesn't fit a existing Garmin mount that I know of. It is meant to fit Ram brand parts. Ex; Ram ball end with clamping standoff and another ball end mount. Hope this helps.

I have a 5" Garmin and use this case. I actually have the screen in a case logic case to protect from scratches by the cord and mounts. Plenty of room for everything.

Velcro sticky pad is about 3/4" square and didn't hold where I put it. A better mount would be great. I ended up setting it on top of the freezer in the garage.

I think the ball mount works with any Garmin Nuvi bracket that has a ball socket. It works on my Nuvi 1390.

You can attach your original Garmin bracket cradle that came with your GPS on to the 17mm ball joint http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/611PB3OkaXL._SL1500_.jpg Best Regards,

This vent mount for a Garmin will fit vents up to 7/8" without compressing the spring all the way. They will fit 3/4" vent just fine.

It fits my Nuvi 2797 but while it looks ok after installation, any bump on the road makes the clip fall out of the air vent. I think it was not conceived for the 7 inch gps. the weight may simply be too much. I was not warned of this and now it sits in my glove compartment.

I use the 5 inch GPS, Garmin and it holds on the vent with out any problems. It can be moved but stays put.Will not accommodate the Garmin 7 inch 2797 an way.

Fits 5" garmin plus cables. It is not deep enough to fit window or dashboard mount.

And again I apologize, I was thinking of the base part of the product. The holder expands to 4 inches in width. I use it to hold a Garmin golf GPS, I think it's called a G3. Not sure, I have to run and can't get to my GPS to measure it.

I have had this unit for some time and it has worked fine. My GPS is 7 inches. I do not know which mounting arm I am using but have had no problems with it. I would buy another one if I get another large screen GPS.

Yes. The 17mm ball on the Garmin Friction Mount is a common (but not universal) size for ball & socket mounts. In addition to my Garmin, I have used this for various cell phones. I purchase one of those infamous windshield mounts that has a ball & socket joint and is a good size for my phone. I then unscrew the ball & socket joint, toss the windshield mount part, and attach the cellphone holder to this mount. It has worked for three different phones.

I use a "Garmin Friction Mount" by that just lays on the dash. It has a sticky bottom that holds very well. Amazon has them.

It's about 1/2" thick and has to be mounted with screws, I don't think tape would hold very well
