    Go with the bigger ball if possible. 2.25 inch it's much stronger.

    The model I posted is 1.5 according to RAM's web site. the 1.5 is good up to 10 lbs. that's more than enough.

    I've got rid of all my ball mount rams and gone to the swing arm style. Still plenty of adjustment in combination with the gimbal and never fall down.

    If you want rock solid, go with a Balzout mount. We have one at the bow, and we go through a lot of stuff with absolutely no movement. Firemen use them for their iPads in fire trucks.......way sturdy.
