Good Morning, 

Writing to see if anyone has come up with a good mounting solution for their Trimble TDC650 units on ATVs. The current mounting option suggested to us are these RAM ball adaptors. Unfortunately, in the past month of using them, we have already had 4 of the mounts break. This is slightly terrifying as these units aren't cheap and we don't want them flying off our ATVs. We have tried multiple phone/ipad holders, but unfortunately, the TDC650 units have irregular specs that don't allow for standard phone/ipad mounts to fit the units.

I was hoping Trimble would provide something like their old Nomad or Geo7x brackets as those seemed to hold up fairly well.

Any ideas/solutions are welcome!

Thanks, 
Sarah

Sarah,

There is a TDC650 Pole Bracket, P/N 129115. Not sure how that would best be adapted to mounting on an ATV or UTV because it comes with the Quick-Release Stud instead of a RAM Ball.
