Tablet Mounts


Recommended Posts

Looking for solutions for my tablet... I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and a Samsung Note Pro 12.2. I am looking for advise or experience with mounting to the console or dash. I have looked at the goose neck mount (my first desired option) but the seats int he Denali don't have your traditional floor bolts. I looked at PRoclip that makes a console mounting clip but I'm not sure it could support the weight of a tablet plus an additional pillar/mount to get ti to face the driver. I've looked at various dash/vent mounts but once again size and loss of access to systems is a concern.

 

Any ideas or pictures would be greatly appreciated... I know that if I downsized my table there are other option but I am not thinking about buying another tablet until I have exhausted all my other resources.

How about getting a second cup holder as someone here did, then either bolting one of the Pro Clip solid pedestals to it or finding a cup holder type stand?

 

Google "cup holder tablet mount" and see what pops up. Lots of ideas.

I finally took the plunge and went i-diving :dunno: .

 

My wife wanted me to pick my gift. I said I wanted a 10" pad that I could use my phone's sim card in. It had to have 4G LTE Verizon, GPS etc. It'd be used for road trips, etc., where we need to find a room, restaurant, or topo maps while navigating off-road. We have phones that have served some of that function, but they are just too small. I have OEM nav in the truck, but it won't do topo at this time and extra programming (nothing for what I want) seems like it's as pricey as any pad. I started shopping for a Samsung, since that's the phones I have and my wife have. The wife got an ipad mini from me a year or so ago. So, I know the product line a bit. I found one I-pad Air (1st gen) on ebay, "new-open box" $389 4G Verizon, etc.

 

So, onto the mount. Sparing no cost, I found this. http://www.thejoyfactory.com/product/MWA208M

aXtion Bold cradles your iPad in full military-grade protection (MIL-STD-810) so it can withstand drops from up to 6 feet (2m).

This model comes with a MIL-STD-810, 6 ft drop rated, water resistant case. You can get a waterproof case, but you have buy the parts separately (more $).

The cupholder mount has an expanding plug that is tightened by the barrel just above the plug.

 

Now I want another cupholder. Where was that thread?

That brand of mount is pricey but extremely nice. I've got the headrest mounts for iPad minis in the back of my truck for my boys. I was a little bit bummed that I wasn't able to find the truck I wanted with OEM rear seat entertainment but decided to figure out a better solution. iPad minis with these headrest mounts are freaking awesome. Each kid had their own video to watch and games if they want and I didn't have to drop a couple of grand on headrest monitors.

 

Basically, you will like the quality of the mount. At least I'm a fan.

thanks for the vote of confidence on their products.

 

I agree with you on having i-pads as opposed to built-in entertainment system. More cost effective, flexible and independent.

 

Joy Factory Inc is just down about 40 miles from me in Irvine CA. The mount should be here tomorrow.
