Does the ball disconnect from the plate? That is, when you receive the item, do you screw the ball onto the mounting plate (the thing w 2 holes)?

No, what you see pictured is one piece. The diamond shape flange with the hole at either end screws onto the GPS mount that you purchase separately for your specific model GPS.

Not any that I have gotten. They come as one piece, the base with the ball attached.

The last section is a ball that's screwed onto the suction cup base. It's not really compatible with anything else other than this specific base. Check rammount.com, they have a closeup picture of this specific mount and you can see it in more detai.

There is a removable plate on the top of the ball head (remove by pressing the side button). This plate should mount on any standard camera with the screw that extends through the mounting plate. Once mounted to the camera, the camera will slide and lock into position on top of the ball head. If the screw does not fit into the camera, either the camera is defective/non-standard or the mounting plate could have some sort of thread defect. I had no such issues with my purchase.

G'day EddieAmazon, You can only remove the the mounting plate from the main stem but not the 1/4" thread. It is a sealed one part joint.However, The entire assembly can be separated into three parts. The Main stem, The suction cup and the ball joint.Hope this helps.

I just tested mine and the silver ball at the top does unscrew. Might yours be on to tight or maybe a defect?

Yes. I bought three displays so far and the ball fits perfectly in the hole. My husband saved the balls from his hole in one rounds and used the actual ball to display. The ball is not provided to my knowledge. I would definitely recommend this product and the price is good for this item.

The ball is something you either use or not. To compensate for the ball or not you "calibrate" the tool, which is basically a "nulling" at any point you want to have as a reference. I believe mine came with the ball unattached, but in the box.

Agreed. Make sure the ball is out of the locking space. If that doesn't work, it could be faulty. I received one that didn't latch properly and the seller promptly sent me a new one.

It bolts to the ball mount that fits in your receiver, in place of the ball.

The unit I received, did not have this. I do believe that it is another position for the ball to be mounted.

I doubt it. They won't even sell you the ball separately from the mount. Don't ever let anyone steal the ball. You can't buy a replacement separately.

on the little frame that actually holds the GPS device there should be a ball & socket swiveling connection. Far as I know they have only used on size of ball so any one with a socket on the GPS side and a little ball on the suction cup side then this item should be fine

Hi don't pull on it you'll break it, on that large round ball look for the little slit, seam and pry that open gently and you'll see how it opens. the ball will open up and stay connected to one end untill you connect the two ends and snap it shut! Hope that was helpful...

I clip mine to my golf bag and only remove it when I need to. I have had the screw come loose a couple of times and had to go back and retrieve the unit (no problem as the bright yellow shows up clearly). I solved this problem by putting a tiny drop of super glue on the tip of the screw and then securing it with a small Phillips screwdriver. I have had mine for over a year and play often an the clip screw has stayed secure with no problem.

It won't come loose if you carefully thread the screw part into the hole on the end of your grip. If you have used other ball retrievers which made the hole too big, then it is possible it will fall out. As long as you screw it in and it holds the threads you should be okay. I hope this helps.

The description and the pictures for this part # show bolts, but no ball. Just the ball mount(thing with the hole for the ball)I bought a similar part # which was supposed to include a ball, ball mount, and the receiver hitch with bolts.I jumped the gun and installed the hitch, when I realized I didn't get the ball. I called Amazon(don't bother) instead do the instant messaging thing, and the credited me for the ball, and I just applied it to the new ball. Yours sounds like you got shorted some items.
