vehicle mount for Ipad

I reckon that you could buy a mount that has a sturdy ipad mounting for the tablet itself and then manufacture a couple of mounts to fix to the grab handle. Using aluminum it should 'nt be hard to do.

Check these out. Ram Mounts. Ram mounts

I have used one for several years.

Thanks Big Fish and Racey, Ram mounts seem to have a good range and I will be trying a thing called "tough claw" which should clamp on the grab handle. Cheers. Garry

Garry: Stefan Fischer from alloffroad youtube channel has a video on this subject one of the best mounts he recommends is industrial evolution but very expensive .

Hi, after a lot of research, I have gone with one of these, expensive but very sturdy and seems to work well. I have set it up so the top of my tablet does obscure my vision. No association apart from buying one.

And the person that works there who I contacted by phone was very helpful.

I have used ramx but their performance is quite inconsistent. Mounting them on the windscreen is problematic due to the fact that you need a very well made mount, that widescreens with excess curvature undo the bond, the bond becomes weak in wide temp variation like hightemps, that the suction cap needs to be periodically cleaned, that the distance is too far for its heavy size. Also high heat from sunlight can cause the li-ion battery to overheat due to the fact they are using very unrobust pouch cells instead of cylindricals, So i gave up on windscreen mounts.

I tried a hard mount that bolts to the left front seat post, but that requires a ad hoc stabilizer to the dash to prevent it shaken soo badly, secondly the seat post mounting is soo poorly engineered that the mount can easily work harden and fatigue. but that position is better, only caveat is your kinda need to tilt your head a bit to read it, mine is 7inch and that is about as large as you wanna go for weight considerations.

Long story short, mounting stuff in the car is very hard unless you got a solid mounting platform. ideally mounting it too the dash where air con vents are would be good.

I bought an eBay cheapie....around 20 bucks from memory. Bought a sticky pad and sat it direct onto dash. Works well for us and does not move.

If you are anyway inclined, you could make something similar to mine. Had it for years and have done over 200k on all types of roads and tracks. Frame held in place simply by Velcro. Velcro on the back of the tablet as well. Keeps it well away from airbags.

I have been using RAM mounts for ipad navigation for over 10 years and they work well
