The Story
The RAM® Friction Hinge Mount for Tough-Bar™ with Roto-View™ (RAM-TB-FH1-ROTO1U) is an attachment accessory that allows you to secure a tablet holder directly to the RAM® Tough-Bar™. Designed for smooth adjustability and vehicle safety, this mount combines a precision friction hinge with the RAM® Collar-Lock™ system and the Roto-View™ Adapter Plate. The friction hinge provides controlled, single-axis movement—allowing you to tilt your device up and down (or side to side, depending on bar placement) for optimal visibility or quick access to vehicle controls, while the Roto-View™ Adapter Plate enables seamless device rotation between landscape and portrait modes. Tighten the knob to hold the device’s position firmly in place, or leave it loosened to reposition on the fly. The integrated Collar-Lock™ system acts as a protective stop on either side of the hinge, preventing over-rotation that could send a device into the windshield or dashboard during adjustment or impact. Together, these components provide stable, vibration-resistant performance, even when supporting heavier tablets. This mount supports the 2-hole AMPS pattern, ensuring compatibility with RAM® holders, GDS® Docks™, and a wide range of third-party screens. Ideal for fleet, service, and personal vehicles, the RAM® Friction Hinge Mount with Roto-View™ delivers streamlined adjustability and added protection for your device and vehicle interior.
