Base Mount Setup
Now that you’ve picked your compatible cradle you need to decide on how and where you want to have the iPad mounted in your vehicle. There is a considerable range of options from suction mounts, screw mounts and floor mounts.
Suction Mount options
Double or Triple suction mounts are recommended for temporary or removable setups as they can bear the tablet weight much better. The RAM locking B suction metal Plate is a sturdy suction cup designed primarily for smaller tablet devices (iPad mini), phones or most GPS devices. The RAM Double Suction Flat Plate is an excellent option for larger sized tablets like the iPad Pro 10.5" or most 10" tablets. The RAM Triple Suction Cup Mount is the most secure suction mount available and is perfect for large-sized tablets.
These suction mounts are the best base mount options for your tablet they just need to be coupled with 2 screw mounts (One base mount to the suction plate and the other to the back of the X-grip or another cradle) and a matching RAM Clamp arm.

Floor Mount Options
The RAM floor mount is an easy solution that mounts onto the bottom of your car using your seat screws (as shown below). The mount itself comes with the base mount needed to join to the RAM cradle and is adjustable using a 45cm semi-flexible aluminium rod.
