1.5" Ball Double-Socket Aluminum Arm — 9.1" Heavy-Duty Extension
Product description
What’s included: one 1.5" ball double-socket extension arm (single unit).
Materials & dimensions: This long arm measures 9.1 inches (approximately 230 mm) overall and uses the standard 1.5" (38.1 mm) ball size. It is CNC-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and finished with a powder coating to increase resistance to saltwater corrosion and general wear.
Load & movement: The C-size double-socket arm supports substantial loads — rated for up to about 15.5 lbs when stationary and around 4.5 lbs while in motion — and permits 360° rotation at the ball joints for flexible positioning.
Compatibility & uses: Designed to mate with C-size 1.5" ball mounting bases, it works with RAM-style components and other 1.5" ball device holders. Typical uses include mounting fish finders, chartplotters, GPS units, tablets, depth finders and other marine or vehicle electronics. The ball-and-socket design allows quick, precise angle adjustments and secure clamping once tightened.
Pros
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction
- 360° adjustment with strong clamping
- Works with C-size 1.5" ball systems
Cons
- May arrive slightly off the listed length
- Relatively heavy for small devices
- Ships as the arm only (no extra hardware)
VerdictA robust aluminum 1.5" ball double-socket arm offering long reach, full rotation and reliable clamping for marine and vehicle electronics. Durable construction and broad compatibility make it a practical mounting solution for demanding environments.

Solid quality for an off-brand
Sturdy build for a non-name product. I fitted it to my 1.5" Starstink and it has stayed put without any movement.

Andrea Draheim 5/5
Well made and rugged
Heavy, durable feel. Swapped it in to hold my depth finder and it’s far stronger than the original part.

Reliable in harsh conditions
Exceeded expectations on my tractor for an Ag Leader monitor. It stayed rock-steady over rough ground with no movement.

Length differs from listing
Sockets are well made, but the delivered arm length didn’t match the 9.1" stated in the description.

Extends reach and holds up
Mounted this arm to my kayak for a fish finder. The 9.1" length gives plenty of reach and the aluminum feels very solid. It tightened down and didn’t slip even in rough water, and it handled my GPS/sonar without sagging. Corrosion resistance seems effective so far.
