Just got my Zumo 550 mounted onto the bike

I'm using a TT bar mounted to the original screen / instrument hoop

Using the BMW type mount to go direct into the Garmin 4 screw powered mount unit

(It came with a ram ball and extension, but prehaps i'm wrong, but dont they defeat the security aspect?

unscrew the extension, cut the cable, and goodbye cradle & potentially nav? )

Anyway got everything mounted, and fired it up so to speak,

However at tickover , the unit has a distinct wobble / vibration, at 3k its stable but as soon as your on tickover its wobbling again.

I did think of trying the Ram ball, bit figured, the further away from the mount, the worse the vibration would be.

I also thought of moving it to the handle bars but then its not in field of view for riding..

is this normal?, how have others prevented / minimised this?

Surley it cant be good for the unit to be subject to that sort of vibration / wobble for longer periods?
