Land Where? Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee3 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hard mounted on the dash. This obviously requires a mod though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saifan Pilot Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 MyGoFlight products are far superior to RAM. https://mgfproducts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RAM suction cup is good for the car windshield but the MGF suction cup is better for the helicopter. (S-76). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Edited January 30, 2020 by Heliian Insert image 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybrid Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlandsalot Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 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.....
