tablet Bracket

Broody, I only use the ipad in mine, and for that an Arkon does a great job.

For a tablet, I'd suggest one that either bolts to the floor and has a flexible or adjustable arm up to a tablet holder . . .

Or something like this . . .

TAB805 | Arkon Tablet Mount

A lot will depend on if you want it mounted at eye level or down a bit out of the way . . .
Eye level is safer if it doesn't obscure your view (this can be illegal too), becasue you can glance at it safer keeping peripheral vision on the surroundings.

I use RAM mounts. Choice of suction (double or triple units) or solid rail mounts etc.Check out blogs by The Landy or Mick O for other options.

we have an Ipad using a Ram mount with a stalk that is bolted using the seat mount bolt. We have done some rough surfaces no problem. You can view a selection of whats available on the Johnny Appleseed website. Not sure where you are, but they have an office in Melbourne, and will post items to you.

I brought this Arkon HD wheelchair mount on ebay $49 and made my own stalk out of 50 x5 mm steel .I removed clamp and bottom angle No wobbles at all . Still under construction as this was today on my 105 series. Bracket gets bolted to the chair mount using a longer bolt in my case. All the production one's I have seen wobble, very annoying. .

I use Wife or Daughter flexible mount. No need for suction cups or seat rail mounts these units are held in place using a standard seatbelt. Have tried this setup in the most extreme condition without a complaint and a bonus is they dont obstruct your vision.

Use a structural angle bracket from Bunning's. This one is 50x100x 50x5mm cut to suit passenger seat mount .This gives you the correct adjustable swivel position for your bent/swisted to shape upright. Pictured on last post this mount holds my 8'' galaxy upright as well as my ipad3 . Mount comes also with smaller fingers for a small device

I've got one of these in our Prado - it is FANTASTIC! They are designed to mount laptops/etc for emergency services so are absolutely rock solid with only a tablet on it.

I've tried RAM windscreen mounts - they were ok but get in the way a lot with the Prado. I've tried a RAM "pole" that mounted to the seat base - wobbled like nothing else.

You then need to get a RAM tablet mount to put the actual tablet in.

I'd recommend getting the UHF mike holder as well - I didn't know it existed when I ordered mine.

This is what I use...

You can read about it here.

A note of caution, ensure anything you use does not overlap with the area an airbag deploys into.

Just a note to support those who suggested RAM product.
My Samsung is mounted with two ball joints extended up from the center consul with a small piece of checker plate inserted behind the consul wall.
The whole lot is detachable except for a ball knob on the consul.
If you need any pics or sizes please contact me happy to provide.

Broodie,
Like many other respondents, I have a RAM mount with the tablet-holder for an ipad, but I use the triple cup suction system to the windscreen on my 100 Series Landcruiser.
About on the centre-line, and at a height so that the bottom of the ipad sits just high enough above the dash that it can’t vibrate against it when off-road.
In general driving it makes no difference to my visibility of the road, and I have it angled just enough to be able to glance at. We run HEMA offroad mapping on it, so that with a brightly-coloured snail-trail on the map you can see where you with just a glance, and not get distracted by looking downwards away from the windscreen.
The only time we had one of the suction cups pop off was when the car was parked in full sun for a few hours and I guess the air expansion forced one of the three cups to unstick from the windscreen, but the other two were still rock solid.
Hope that helps as another option.
