After recommendations for a mount for our
samsung gallaxy 10.1. Havent actually seen one mounted in a car and just use ours sitting between the seats which is not the best option for viewing. Have a hilux.
Cheers Graeme.

Have a mate who has one and just did a 9000km trip with it sucked onto the windscreen.
He never lost it from there and we went from
Roper Bar to
Normanton and Highway 1 is still dirt road for quite away.
Don't know what brand it is but just looks like an oversize phone mount.
PS The 10.1 was superb for mapping

Hi Alan. Any chance you can find out what brand. Being so big would not like to purchase anything to hold it unless some one had used one.

I've just bought one of these and being technically challenged am wondering if it's the built in maps you use while travelling or can it be plugged into the Hema and get all the info from that?

Alan, If you are staying on main roads just use the Hema.
But if you want the off-road tracks you can't do much better than
EOTopo run on a tablet or laptop.
At the top of this page, on the blue bar, click on
EOTopo for full information.

Graeme, My mount for the Galaxy 10.1 was solved simply as you can see from the photo below. Just lucky that the Troopy had a handrail of exactly the right size. It is held in place by a plastic clip and elastic cord.

Just a heads-up about keeping any additions away from the route an air bag is going to take if activated.

It appears that with some of the tablet & laptop mounts that have been shown here, some people have scant regard for the safety of their front
seat passenger in the event of an accident!

Graeme.
Bought one off fleabay, initially sceptical, but did the old coach road from
Laura to
Maytown (approx. 8 hrs for 48 klms), also the station tracks through
Inkerman and Dunbar stations,
Samsung tab 10.1 stayed where it was. Cost $15 and fixes to the air vent with spring loaded clip, and the aircon keeps the unit cool when its sitting in the sun most of the day. Suits the rectangular style vents rather than the round.
Cheers.

A smear of spit on the rim of the suction cup works wonders.

Graeme,
The solution I arrived at is the ClickOn Active Holder and mount from Holdmyphone.
For the Holder, you select the brand and model of tablet you have and it will show you the correct holder to buy. The Active holder allows you to power the tablet from a cable that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket
For the Mount, you select your vehicle brand and model and it will show you the available mounting options, either dashboard mount or suction mount.
I selected the dashboard mount. No screws or glue used. It is inserted between the facia panels using a spreader to insert.
A great solution.

Hello Graeme, I have a galaxy note 8" and use a Ramm mount on the windscreen next to the A pillar on the drivers side. Just finished a few weeks of
Kimberley tracks etc and the mount did not move and there was minimal movement on corrugated roads. You can get different lengths to position the screen to suit your needs.
I purchased
mine from Autotainment (I think that is the right name) in Victoria park where they helped me pick the right pieces for my ute.Cost was about $90.00 .

Hi Graeme,
We have just bought a Ram Mount suction cup to the windscreen and it worked
well on our last trip.

The mount my mate uses is from Jaycar Cat No HS9036 Tablet Holder with Heavy duty suction Mount……..$29.95.
As I said before it worked very
well on extended dirt roads (Nathan River) and around the gulf to
Normanton. Also did 400km of dirt on round trip to
Gilberton.
Trust you find one to suit your requirements
Alan

Graeme,
I am in my 2nd year with the Exomount. I have a Toyota 100 series and once the Tablet is in place it doesn't move.
I am extremely happy with it.

Hi Guys. Thanks everyone for the replies. Ended up ordering the exomount today, they have an ausi outlet now. Liked the ram mount that bolted to the
seat bracket as
well but have no where to brace it on my hilux. Im sure the other mounts would be fine but I like the position the tablet is in with the exomount being below the windscreen and for around $70 posted should be good value as
well.
cheers Graeme.

I use one of these Ram Mounts to the
seat bolt, it's great on rocky areas too, they come with a lifetime warranty... Around 80 bucks..

Hi River Swaggie .Could you let me know the model number or where you purchased the mount. Does it move around much with rough going.

Yeah no worries Graeme.. It's P. I Plus mobile:1300 747 587
There's a number of different holders for the tablet itself , that's not
mine in the picture I should of mentioned that, I use another that holds the tablet each end and you slide it to remove it, the one in the
pic is a lot dearer, the one I have stays in the holder even at
home.. A mate thought it would bounce everywhere in The High Country..
Was he surprised it was quite solid even on rocky /Shaley areas..
Goodluck

Got the same setup on my Prado and I just use a couple of big rubber bands from the
seat belt stalk around the Ram Mount and it doesn't move. can be viewed by both driver and passenger easily.
