WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT MOUNTING PATTERNS AND SIZES?

	17MM BALL SIZE  The 17mm Ball is an industry standard ball joint that is commonly used with Garmin GPS Devices, Sirius Satellite radios, and Smartphone holders (Including those made by iBOLT, Arkon, Panavise, and more)
	20MM BALL SIZE The 20mm Ball is an industry standard ball mount commonly used with iBOLT’s FixedPro 360 mounts and Tackform’s Enduro Series.
	25MM BALL SIZE The 25mm Ball size is commonly referred to as a 1 inch or a B size ball mount. This industry standard ball joint holds up to 2-3 lbs and can be used with mounting arms and adapters featuring the 25mm ball size (Including those from Arkon, and Ram Mounts)
	38MM BALL SIZE The 38 mm Ball size is commonly referred to as a 1.5 inch or a C size ball mount. This industry standard ball joint holds up to 4 lbs and can be used with mounting arms and adapters featuring the 38 mm ball size (Including those from Arkon, and Ram Mounts)
	GOPRO ADAPTER The standard goPro does not feature a ¼ 20 camera screw adapter like most cameras. The goPro adapter features a three-tongued connection point at top and uses a screw to lock the GoPro in place.
	VESA 75 BY 75 & VESA 100 BY 100 The Vesa 75/100 mount pattern is a X mounting pattern commonly used with monitors and some TV devices. VESA stands for Video Electronics Standards Association and most LCD monitors come with the VESA 100/75 standard mounting hole pattern, which means a hole pattern on the back of the monitor: 75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm (2.95in. x 2.95in. or 3.94in. x 3.94in.)
	4 PRONG The 4 Prong is a standard mounting pattern featuring four pins/prongs extending from the plate to connect device holders to mounts. This pattern is commonly used by iBOLT’s Tablet Holders, and iGrip by Herbert Richter
	DUAL-T/2T The Dual-T or 2T adapter is a standard mounting pattern featuring 2 “T” shaped prongs extending from the plate to connect devices and device holders featuring the Dual-T pattern. This pattern is commonly used to mount GPS devices, satellite radios, Arkon universal smartphone holders and tablet cradles, and much more.
	AMPS The AMPS Pattern adapter features a 4 holes spaced at 1.181” x 1.496” (30mm by 38mm). Many mounting companies use the AMPS mounting pattern for vehicle specific brackets, attaching devices or device holders to mounts, or as an standard drill base mounting option. This pattern is commonly used by Garmin, Tom Tom, iBOLT, Arkon Mounts, Proclip, Panavise, and RAM Mounts.
