How firm is the ball? Will it hold if you have it mounted to a car while driving at high speeds?

Mine is mounted to the inside window of my Cessna 182 and it has done fine at 160 mph. My video is crisp with no vibration at all and the adjustment knob for the ball can be set so that you can turn the camera back toward you and back out front or any position you like and the camera will NOT droop. Buy it! You'll love it.

Never mounted it on a car, but I do have it mounted on my boat. I run about 20-25 MPH bouncing thru the water at it stays in position very well, never moves.I suspect it would do well on a car.

Dont get it wet and you will have a wonderful time. Fluids render the ball mount useless no matter how tight you try and get it. Its fine as long as its dry...

I have not tried that but I think it'll be OK. Once it's tightened up, it is approximately as strong as the regular GoPro mounts.Consider this: The friction surface area between the ball and the shell is about as big as the friction surface area in a regular GoPro mount connector.

Oh yes. I have a kayak rack with a pole the extends out from the rack (Yakama Boat Loader) and I mount the GoPro on it using a rollbar mount and the ball joint adaptor at 75mph.

Save your money. Find an alternative way. This is a weak plastic ball joint.

My wife and I use ours on fairly rough paved trail riding. Lots of cracks and bumps we hit at 20 mph or so. Our phones (in our cases even) don't pop loose. Also, the ball mount swivel thing seems sturdy enough not to change position. Over time it may loosen (that's my worry) but that is only speculation. Haven't had any problems with ours. Make sure your phone is clamped in tight.

I would not use it in the extended position while driving. The movement would be issue as that would not have the rubber feet on the arm for stability if I recall correctly. It is only truly locked and stable when it is on the stored position. I have two installed on my RV and both are locked when I am moving and extended only when needed and the RV is parked. Not sure if that helps, but I wouldn't use it in that design if it was me. It is a great mount, but the design is really for use like I have it set up.

this is in addition tao my last comment. It is very heavy and durable. I think it will be fine with cars rolling over it.

All I can tell you is that it's stayed put on my windshield for 3 months in the hot FL/GA sun. I drive on a lot of rough dirt roads in a van with stiff shocks and it hasn't popped off. So I would think as long as you have a flat, smooth surface to stick it to...you should be fine. I like the stiff swivel, but mine was still moveable. Try using some lubricant if yours is too stiff.

For regular street driving yes but if you plan on going off road make sure you have a regular protective case around your phone. I have a Otter Box case and when inside the holder it's pretty secure and doesnt move. The mount works with springs so you can't lock it in but you should be ok. If your going to race down mountains or X-Games kind of deal I would think twice or secure it with rubber bands .

I mounted my 51 inch Samsung to it. Holds fine at 48lbs. Can tilt screen using the ball and everything, as long as the nuts are tight in the back. No problems.

It's very stiff to remain in place once you're driving. Just move it to the position you need, don't think you can break it. And do the adjustments before you mount it to your windshield. Good luck.

On the box for the 45cm ball it states: "Can withstand up to 600 pounds of dynamic pressure." That's all all I can find. Hope this helps.

For me it has good firm but i don't think it is super firm. I am not sure about the density. For me it is give good comfort and i use it in my car and it really helps.

It's a firm bounce but I wouldn't call it hard. It is an excellent product. Unfortunately I am going to sell it because I hurt my back in an unrelated incident.

It's pretty solid. I believe it could handle any bump and the phone will not fall out. I have gone over some preety good speed bumps and hit some pot holes and the phone didn't move a bit.

I use it to mount to my windshield while driving. It holds it really secure.

It holds fine if you have both ends on something of course. Because the car "end" is leaning on the bummer and the ground "end" which has a different shape (see pic)...it wedges it. Its a great little ramp. Wayfair.com has it on sale again with free shipping :)

It's not real fast. I have a 100ft long driveway. it is wide enough for my car by the time I drive that distance after I press the remote

I am using it for a home antenna. I have it on a 4" dia. x 3/8" thick plate and it is very hard to remove. Because the antenna is light, I believe it will easily stay on a fast moving car. The Tram 1199 Glass Mount is a little less money and seems to be a better antenna though. I am waiting for an adapter to try it on my Home Patrol.

Don't really understand what your asking. I use this pole snowboarding at high speeds and have put it through some horrific abuse and not a scratch. I'll assume that if you were to hold it out the window of a moving car it would do just fine. If you mean to "roll the car", I'll assume it would be destroyed along with the camera. Hope that helped. Try to be more specific next time.
