Product Information
Full details
The Quad Lock 360 Dual Pivot Arm is designed for motorcycle and scooter users seeking precise positioning for their smartphones. Its key benefit is offering extensive adjustability with dual pivot points and 360-degree rotation for optimal viewing angles, while a key caveat is its incompatibility with RAM mounting systems. This passive holder is constructed from durable, glass-filled nylon and features two adjustment options: a hex screw for security and a thumb screw for on-the-go changes. It integrates with all Quad Lock 360 Heads and Bases.

FAQs
What is the difference between the small and medium Dual Pivot Arms?
The difference lies in their length: the small arm is 51mm (2') and the medium arm is 75mm (3'). Choose based on your mounting space and preferred positioning.
Does this arm hold my phone directly?
No, this is a passive holder arm. It requires a Quad Lock phone case or another compatible holder to attach to your phone.
Can I use this with my RAM Mount system?
No, the Dual Pivot Arm is not designed for compatibility with RAM mounting systems. You would need a specific adapter for that.
How do I switch between the hex screw and thumb screw?
The thumb screw is designed to replace the hex screw. Unscrew the hex screw using the included 3mm hex key, then screw in the thumb screw by hand.
What material is the Dual Pivot Arm made from?
It is constructed from tough, glass-filled nylon for durability and resistance.
How much rotation does the arm offer?
The arm allows for 360 degrees x 180 degrees of rotation, and the ball heads at each end provide an additional 180 degrees and 360 degrees of movement.
Is the arm weatherproof?
While made from durable materials, it is recommended to protect it from prolonged extreme weather exposure and to clean it regularly.
Troubleshooting
Arm is too loose and won't hold position.
Tighten the preload tension using the hex screw or thumb screw on the relevant pivot point. Ensure the ball joints are adequately secured.
Arm feels stiff or difficult to adjust.
Check for any obstructions. If the issue persists, slightly loosen the adjustment screw, move the arm, and then re-tighten. Ensure no debris is in the pivot mechanisms.
Thumb screw is difficult to turn.
Ensure you are using the thumb screw correctly. If it feels cross-threaded or jammed, do not force it. Try removing and re-inserting it, or switch to the hex screw for adjustment.
Arm won't attach to the 360 Head/Base.
Verify that you are connecting it to a Quad Lock 360 Head or Base and that the ball joint is correctly aligned before attempting to secure it.
