Anyone have pics of Ipod mounts?
I searched through the forums and found many threads about Ipods, but did not find any pics of them mounted on panels or elsewhere.
Before fabbing up a mount I wondered if anyone could post an image of how they mounted and where they may have mounted one.
Thanks in advance
Doug

Ram Mount
Doug
I used a ram mount from Ram Mounts. They make everything you need to mount anything you can think of with a ram type mount. You need a ball mount for the panel and one for the back of the ipad holder then a clamp that you can tighten up to hold it in the position you need.
Holds good and tight and its mounted right above my aux power so I use a dual USB charger for IPAD and Stratus from ship power. Also can charge up the Iphone if needed.

Great set up Daryl. Man, you are ready to rock & roll. You can go anywhere with that combo. The capability of the 396 & iPad is really quite awesome.
Cheers,

Ipad Mount
Thanks Deal for the compliment. I noticed you are in George West. I grew up around Corpus and Beeville. My dad was in the Navy so growing up in South Texas I did alot of hunting around those parts.
I see you have a 4. I am helping a friend build his 4 but he took a break to finish up a Kitfox. He had a 6 before and I think he wished he didn't sell it.
Thanks!
Daryl

RAM mount endorsement
Doug:
Mine is also a ball mount on the panel; the iPad offsets my all-analog panel.
I am concerned  that when I start flying with a right-seater, the location (below the map box, in front of the passenger) may be too much of a temptation for the passenger to read, watch videos, check email...

I don't have a pic (yet) but I am not using the RAM "universal finger mount" for my iPhone. I like it because it can be adjusted for almost any case you might have on your iPhone / iPod.
I initially had it on a ball mount. Once I knew I was not changing its position or orientation, I removed the ball from the back of the mount and cut a spacer - then attached direct to the panel. This keeps the mount very close to the panel and has less vibration.
I did cut the "fingers" down to be just longer than the depth of the iPhone case.

Here is a picture of Rudi's 10 Panel that has both an Iphone and Ipad mounted with Ram mounts. There are a few more pictures at the link as well

This is not a very good picture that was taken with my iPhone. I used a RAM ball mount. I used one of the bolts that holds the windscreen frame to the longeron to hold the RAM ball.
This position gives the all glass panel a wrap around feel.

Just went through this with RAM for my iPad mini. The only thing they currently have is the spider or finger mount. They are predicting a case mount in February.
