Tablet mount

We use the ram mount on a floor stand with our iPad. Works a treat.
The floor stand is fixed to pasenger seat mounting bolts - chem the ram site for details and options.

I've hadjust about enough of suction mounts...there are some good ones that hold quite a lot of weight......but sooner or later they all fall off..and often at the most inoportune time.

cheers

The good thing with suction cup mounts is, the tablet screen will only break the once, when it drops off onto the gear selector or any other hard item Murphy has pre planned for it to fall on.
With that in mind the selection of the mount system will be much easier.

I've used a RAM mount in my Landcruiser, I still had to brace it to the internal dash metal frame.

Best system was to make my own.

Must say that the website posted above suggests that Ram mounts have come way down in price to what they used to be and the product choice looks to be a whole lot user friendly.

Mate just bought a big mother suction cup mount for his tablet. Looks like it would hold & support half a house. All sucker types are reliant on a good sucker and pressure lock. Most of the locks on mine have failed before the sucker gives up the ghost.

I have been using an Exomount for over a year now and have travelled offroad extensively including the Cape without any issue. Price is US$49.5 there is free postage for the 7-8 inch tablet or US$59.95 for the 10inch version.

The best thing is that it sits in front of the radio and unless you want it to does not block the windscreen.

Hi Lachie

I have the same tablet using a RAM mount from the windscreen and have just finished a lap from Perth our to Kintore (Gunbarrel Hwy and Sandy Blight Junction Rd), down to Alice and back home along the Great Central Road .....worked a treat.

I have the:
RAM X-Grip III™ Clamping Cradle for flexibility with different tablet models (seems a bit flimsy at first glance but worked fine), plus
Windscreen sucker, so I can easily move it between vehicles.

I use 2 extensions between the sucker and the cradle, again for flexible installations. When mounting the unit I adjust the arm to be resting on the dash for added support (put something between to protect the vehicle dash). This drastically reduces bouncing about.
Plus I tried to mount the tablet slightly in front of an aircon vent to help keep the temperature down (the tablet won't charge if it gets too hot).

hope this helps.

I have the exact same model tablet and bought one of these from ebay prior to going on a recent trip to Victoria High Country. I purchased a cover from the same seller. It did the job fine and didn't move at all the whole trip. I do have it resting on the flat dash which does support the tablet's weight well but am very happy with the setup. Good value too.

Thank you all for your reply's. Have a great weekend.

You can also get a 3 cup suction from Ram....works awsome and won't fall off on the roughest of tracks ;)
