If you have a Ram or any mount that uses a 1" ball mount system and you need to mount your HT, this adapter is for you. This adapter will enable you to attach your microphone or handheld radio as long as it has a belt clip our a button type mount attached to it. As the photo shows you can clip your belt clip over the surface plate...just like it clips over your belt. The mount has a silicone pad to protect your device. This version comes with a swivel feature so you can adjust the position of your microphone or handheld in the perfect position.
