XMS ANTI-SLIP GROOVED BALL: Featuring the signature Xtreme Mounts Series (XMS) machined grooves, this 20mm (0.79 inch) aluminum ball provides a mechanical "lock" within the mounting socket. Unlike smooth plastic or rubberized balls, the grooved texture prevents slipping and "creep," even under constant vibration.
HIGH-STRENGTH ALUMINUM BUILD: Precision-engineered from high-grade aluminum, this adapter offers a rock-solid, metal-on-metal interface. It is designed to replace or upgrade standard composite 20mm (0.79 inch) components for increased durability and long-term reliability.
STANDARD 4-HOLE AMPS PATTERN: The integrated AMPS pattern (30mm x 38mm spacing) allows for a permanent bolt-down connection to vehicle-specific brackets, heavy-duty phone holders, and small-format tablet cradles.
UNIVERSAL 20MM COMPATIBILITY: Perfectly compatible with ARKON Robust Series mounting arms and other industry-standard 20mm (0.79 inch) ball pattern systems. It is the ideal bridge between a 20mm (0.79 inch) pedestal and an AMPS-compatible device holder.
STREAMLINED & RUGGED: While compact, the aluminum construction ensures this adapter can handle the weight of modern ruggedized smartphones and small tablets without the "flex" associated with plastic mounts.
Description
The XMS Advantage for 20mm (0.79 Inch) Systems The ARKON Mounts XMS Aluminum 20mm (0.79 inch) Ball with Metal AMPS Mounting Pattern (AP20MMAL) brings industrial-grade stability to the 20mm (0.79 inch) mounting ecosystem. Most small-format systems rely on smooth surfaces that can loosen over time or slip during high-vibration activities. The AP20MMAL solves this with our XMS grooved ball design, which bites into the mounting arm to ensure your device stays exactly where you set it.
Professional Performance in a Compact Form Whether you are a professional content creator, a gig driver, or a fleet manager utilizing small-format telematics, the AP20MMAL provides a level of security that consumer-grade mounts cannot match. By utilizing high-strength aluminum instead of composite materials, this adapter reduces the risk of failure at the ball-joint, extending the life of your mounting hardware in the field.
