Robust MTB RAM mount for Cycle Computer?

Hi-
I am looking for some advice about RAM mounts for cycle computers for MTBs - I am currently using a Garmin GPSMAP 64s which is a big unit (it weighs 230g) that is not designed primarily for cycling, but it can handle HRM and cadence sensors, and has full routing and TOPO maps.
I have had it mounted on my bike for a couple of weeks with a very basic RAM mount - unfortunately while it is just about ok for road cycling the mount is not sufficiently robust for anything else. Simply dropping off the pavement onto the road is enough to dislocate the ball from the socket and send the 64S flying. Luckily it is built like a tank.
Long term I´d like to get a smaller cycle computer, but at least until then can anyone recommend a RAM mount which is sufficiently robust for handling the unit for an urban ride, or even off road where there might be a few more severe bumps and jumps?
Thanks in advance!
