Like almost all RAM products, this is a quality item that works well in its intended use. I'll purchase this and other RAM products again if needed.
*The RAM Mount Double Ball Base w/1/4" NPT tee does not directly accommodate this RAM Mount 1-inch Ball with 1/4-inch 20 male threads, as the threads don't match. Instead, it accommodates 1/4" NPT (National Pipe Thread standard), which is about 1/2" in diameter with 18 threads per inch. (Weird, huh....?) I successfully modified it by threading a brass 1/4" NPT solid plug, cutting it off flush and then I drilled it with a 7/32" bit, finally finishing it off by tapping the drill hole with a 1/4" 20 threads/inch tap. Thus the RAM Mount 1-inch Ball with 1/4-inch 20 Male threads fits it as if it were designed for that purpose. (And, I guess I did...) So, if you're handy, just about anything is possible. (There's more than one way to skin a cat....as I've heard it said...) It may be notable to be aware that 1/4" 20 threads per inch is the same as a tripod mount.
Update 3-6-2018:
RAM mounts are still the best mount I've found. Not going to find anything better. Very simple design that's brilliantly executed. I've never been satisfied with other options such as suction cups or double sided tape mounts. They'll all fail at some point. Then a few years ago I discovered Ram mounts. Made my first purchase and I couldn't have been happier. I've now purchased multiples of the 1" ball for camera mounting over the years for various applications. My most current usage was to mount a 6" cell phone on the dash of a 2012 Camry for Pandora/Google Maps. I wanted something secure and adjustable, yet easy to remove. Ram fits the bill. For this setup, I used the following products (I'll supply links at the end):
Ram Mount 1-Inch Ball with 1/4-Inch 20 Male Threaded Post for Cameras
Ram Mount 2 x 1.7 Inches Base with 1-Inch Ball
Ram Mount Composite Short Double Socket Arm for 1-Inch Ball
Part of a Vastar Universal Smartphone Tripod Adapter
3/4" Phone and Fax Plastic Grommet
Luckily enough, my Camry has a large section of trim around the clock on the dash. The whole thing comes out very easily. I removed the trim piece and disconnected the clock from it. Marked out my holes for the 2" x 1.7" Ram mounting plate. I mounted the base plate with black bolts to blend in with everything. I also sandwiched a small piece of black rubber shelf liner to eliminate any possible squeaking. Whilst the dash is fairly flat where I mounted it there is a very slight curve. The 1" ball mount for cameras get attached to the upper part of the Vastar Universal Smartphone Tripod Adapter, the short composite Ram arm connects it all together. I also drilled another hole in the clock trim piece to run a USB cable in-dash behind the radio. I used the 3/4" phone/fax grommet to finish it off and give a professional look.
I couldn't be more happy with how this turned out. It's very easy to use and it's something that can be quickly removed if I don't want to leave it in the car. The only thing that stays behind is the mounting plate that's bolted to the dash and the USB cable. I think car's should come with something similar to this. It's not far from eye level yet doesn't block my view.

Only downside is it’s a bit recessed, so the RAM arm will only clamp on from one angle. Luckily it’s the perfect angle.
Much cheaper than the alternatives sold elsewhere.

Dopo il primo acquisto, ho valutato la qualità effettiva del prodotto, adesso ho una valigetta con ogni tipo di fissaggio, staffe, staffettine, viti, supporti, e tra questi, tre utilissime ventose per il vetro (consiglio caldamente la doppia ventosa per l'uso della GOPRO, eccezionale).
