I saw people mounting the RAM mount upside down to have the pins on the top of the tablet. It avoids water to stay in contact with the pins thx to gravity. Maybe worthwhile being tried.
Have you tried stabilant 22a on the pogo pins? We use it in the auto repair field to protect computer and sensor connections from corrosion. Should be perfect for pogo pins. it has a NATO military part number too. In the USA the NAPA part number is SL-5
Well I tried your solution with the gel but for me it was not successful. For months I suffered inconsistent connection and slow charging. I am using this on my Tuareg 660. I ended up just plugging the tablet directly into Aprilias supplied usb port and it now works consistently every time with a strong charge rate. I also learned to use the adjustable display setting instead of manual mode set to max brightness. Apparently the adjustable mode can go 20% brighter I have read.
Great video. I am following your advice. Another weak point would be the connector (color green) going from the mount to the charging socket as with the kit included it only plugs half way leaving part of it exposed. Did you fid a solution for that? Thank you
@@aramaa4905 I have noticed that it sometimes don't charge so I have to move the connection a little. I'm thinking of doing a permanent connection instead, either by soldering the wires or schrink wrap it.
Hi, I bought the same tablet and holder from RAM, but I can't fix it to the Ténéré, there is a plate to fix the holder to the Ténéré. Could you please tell me the reference of this plate? There are hundreds on RAM website butI have no idea which one fits the Ténéré? Thanks a lot for your help!!!! Chris

Hey! Are you still doing well with your solution? been through any substantial rains with it? Thinking about getting this mount for long distance tours.
Hi, Yes I’m very happy with it. We recently did a 1900km journey in Norway (see our latest movie) where we had a LOT of rain and it performed flawlessly. It charges a bit slow but has always done and I think it has to do with the Micro USB connection (tablet holder has a short wire with Micro usb in the end and then it’s hooked up with a longer cable that is ordinary usb in the other end. Tablet holder comes with this solution as stock so it’s nothing I have done)
Thanks! That's good to know for sure. I have several places with charging ports to experiment with on my bike. I will try a few of them. I actually have had similar charging problems by the way. My Quadlock USB A charger was actually discharging my phone half the time. I have since gotten a better charger.
Spring is really late this year in Sweden so I haven’t had the chance to test it much but it seems like it handles all my navigation apps great so far.
@@no66 I have now tried out in the sun, the brightness on its highest setting is about the same as on my Garmin Montana 700i. No problem reading a map but it would not have hurt to be just a tad brighter. For the money I think it’s totally fine.
Yes, that protects the pinns from oxidation but it also collects dust, sand and debris when riding gravel or off-road in dry climate. I prefer what I have now since it's a dry solution.
Yes the spring tension sure could be a little stronger in them. I have seen online that it is possible to buy other pogo pins, maybe it will be a winter project and change them, or just run a separate cable if it gives up. But at least it’s now weather protected.
@@RiflemanSE I've installed a second USB -C cable soldered to the circuit board. This way I have 2 different charging entry's to the tablet. Haven't tested it properly but the tablet charges at 1400ma

How are you finding the Tab 2 Active ?
Spring is really late this year in Sweden so I haven’t had the chance to test it much but it seems like it handles all my navigation apps great so far.
@@RiflemanSE Same for Norway, still cold!
I was thinking of screen brightness. Cant affaod the Tab3 🙂

@@no66 I have now tried out in the sun, the brightness on its highest setting is about the same as on my Garmin Montana 700i. No problem reading a map but it would not have hurt to be just a tad brighter.
For the money I think it’s totally fine.
@@RiflemanSE Thanks for the update. I have one coming soon and going to print a holder this weekend
just put a good chunk of dielectric grease on the pins and that should make it.
Yes, that protects the pinns from oxidation but it also collects dust, sand and debris when riding gravel or off-road in dry climate. I prefer what I have now since it's a dry solution.
Any heat issues?
No not at all
Did it work?
Yes, very well
i think the problem with the holder is the pogo pins it self. they tend to have bad connections and dont allow to charge at full charge
but good ideia anyway
Yes the spring tension sure could be a little stronger in them. I have seen online that it is possible to buy other pogo pins, maybe it will be a winter project and change them, or just run a separate cable if it gives up. But at least it’s now weather protected.

Can't you mount it up side down?.

@@RiflemanSE would you still recommend the holder?
@@MrRclemens Yes, so far no problems with the charging. I have washed the bike with the holder attached and really drenched it and so far so good.
Yeah, not waterproof from box. Nice tip👍
Super surprised there is no gasket of any kind 🙄
@@jasondunn8313 I think it's hard to seal it with a gasket since water will come in at the pogo pinns. But this gel is a solution for sure.
My honest advice would be to just not use RAM mounts. I've gradually moved away from using RAM mounts for nearly anything.
