Suction Cup Gymbal Mount

Flavius

I'm New Here
Need to get a good solid suction cup type mount - really hope to find one that will work with both Mini iPad and standard size one - if it even exists? If not will get one of each. TY!
 
I use RAM mounts on suction bases on my panel for iPad Pro 11 inch and iPad Mini 6 depending on which I'm using on a given flight. Sometimes I mount the 11" iPad Pro and leave the Mini 6 free in my lap or on the seat. The RAM EZ-Roll'r™ Cradle works the best for me for both devices.

 
I have a New Ram suction mount that I didn't need. It came with the Dynon D3 kit. If that will work for you I can sell/ship it cheap
 
I had an iPad Mini mounted to a RAM suction cup setup & ran into some real rough air one day, +2.5 -1.5 G loads. Things went flying inside the cockpit including the RAM & Mini, it bounced off the canopy & ended on the floor battered. I don't use suction cup mounts any more...
 
I had an adhesive RAM mount to adhere my iPad to my panel, and the adhesive would fail every 8-12 months. I've since just gotten a suction cup mount to attach it to the canopy, and it's been fine, so long as I clean it with some IPA every month or two.
