iPad Mini Mounting

[hybrid]

What is everyone using to mount iPad mini’s in the machines to run ForeFlight?

RAM suction cup and Ram arms with iPad holder. works until it falls. i try to secure it to the compass or similar on top of the dash.

[Land Where?]

Our company first used a single suction mount but like Comcat said they fall off. We switched to a double suction mount and it’s fine now.

Hard mounted on the dash. This obviously requires a mod though...

Does the RAM glare shield mount work on mediums?

MyGoFlight products are far superior to RAM.

I agree with Saifan.

 

My RAM suction cup is good for the car windshield but the MGF suction cup is better for the helicopter. (S-76).

The same crap we used to mount garmin gps to?  Weights are similar.  

Or, you could go with a $4500 engineered solution.

Or, duct tape it right on the panel maybe, better yet, velcro.   

NVM, here's the solution:

Thanks for the serious suggestions. I am going to try the RAM single suction cup, also a claw as that might work better. It's been a while, but I am sure I used a company single suction cup and it worked fine for an iPad mini. I figure if the single suction doesn't work I can just get the double suction as an add on. The MGF seem very expensive and doesn't seem to allow modifications very easily. I could also use the RAM for a GoPro, iPhone and iPad on my motorbike with accessories that are easy to order. Thanks again.

I am just waiting to read an accident report of a iPad suction mount falling off above the centre console of a 212 and hitting the gov or fuel switches in flight.....
