Windscreen Mount for Android Tablet?

Thanks mate. Is that a 7 inch tablet or larger? Nice setup.

It's a Tab A, 8-inch or thereabouts.

Regards

Hi, where did you buy your 3 suction mount & how much? looks ideal, thanks

Norm F,

There are quite a few RAM mount dealers, I generally use Hurtlegear. Don't remember the exact price but I think around $150 including the tablet mount - not cheap.

Regards

RAM have the RAM Twist-Lock Triple Suction Cup Base with Ball $50.99

I have a Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 that I want to dash mount and this is the best solution I have seen so far.

All I need to do is figure out the TAB holder.

Kazza055,

Sorry, I missed your post. Perhaps this mount would suit.

Regards

Thanks for getting back Gramps, going to file this thread away for later reference as I still have some cheaper options to look at. I have the TAB cover as per the photo below.

I am going to stick Velcro (hook) to the bottom surface and then place it onto the dash mat. I already have one of these so will just leave the second one on the dash and move the TAB between the 2 covers as needed.

Kazza, I think you will find if you stick that on top your dashboard you will get pulled over by the constabulary, as they will deem that it obstructs your vision. Navigators such as Hema, are much smaller that a tablet/iPad.

It is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" dimensions are approx 150mm high and 250mm wide, it will be lucky to even block out the bonnet never mind any road in front .

Also it will be sitting in the middle of the dash so I really can't see me getting pinged for it.

I hired a Hyundai Tucson in UK that had a screen sitting in a raised position in the middle of the dash and it did not obstruct my view.

No problems at all

Regards

I think this point is a bit overdone, there are any number of places you could mount a 10" tablet on the dash without it needing to be in direct line of sight.

Even the Police have large screens that are dash mounted without blocking your line of sight.

I have a TPMS and Scangauge11 on my dash and that are completely away from my line of sight.

Only an idiot would mount it where it blocks your view of the road in front.

The blocking of view does not only to be at the front - view is also required left and right of center.

Dont use police vehicles as an example as the police have exemptions for most things including use of mobile phones etc.

spot on ozzie cruiser. check the legality of affixing anything to the windscreen, irrespective of whether if restricts your vision. Cops have many exemptions

Not sure if I am seeing this right, but is that larger one mounted in front of the airbag?

He does say

Fortunately our vehicle has a central glove box.

The airbag needs to be in front of the passenger, not off to one side as it would be in the centre of the dash.

I tried one of them without the stabilising brackets - even on the tar it wobbled around so much that you couldn't read it. The brackets are a good idea - I went a different route (see above)

That looks just like my ARCON, a soft aluminium rod, I don't get the wobbles, maybe the screw on the seat rail was loose or there is a tension knob at the top may have come loose. Impressed with those brackets Pete but I hate drilling holes in my pride and joy.

Yikes - I can't see how that could be a good idea for a car going off the blacktop - surely corrugations and bumps would cause something to break, especially with a tablet mounted on it.

Just another option Peter, not everyone goes off road everyday.

I have a CD Slot mount that I use for my Hema Navigator. Gets it further away from the sun and the windscreen. Haven’t used it Off Road as yet, but seems to be pretty strong.

Macca.

Thanks for the feedback Macca, I recon it would work better than a single suction devise, the three suckers should make a firm holder.

I believe the knob is used to spread the arms of the clamp to firmly lock it in the slot.

I one coming from China so hopefully I will see it before next Christmas.
