I am using my Ipad as my video for my kids in my car. So I bought this car mount from ebay. The quality is quite bad but with some modifications, I manage to make it work really well and its very sturdy now.

This is my iPad with the leather casing(not sure if its real leather) i bought in Beijing China. You can buy this casing here in
The quality is really good eventhough is non-branded and i will buy another of it if I have to buy another case.


Another view with the case open.


This is the iPad car mount i bought from ebay.

Its pretty cheap at USD9.99 but it need some modifications to make it work. Here is the link to ebay

Here is what i did with the iPad car mount. When I first receive it. I mount my iPad to it and i notice that ball joint cannot firmly hold the ipad so i tighten the screw to see if it work. The next thing I realise is the the screw broke off so I have a piece of junk with me. Then I decided to mod it so I use cable tie to wrap around the plastic that hold the ball in place as shown by the photo below. That hold the ball in the socket but the ipad is still moving around freely so I insert 2 piece of metal I got from my PC casing and insert it into the socket(see picture). That hold the ipad up well. Then i try it in the car but after a few use the joint broke off due to the weight of the iPad on a moving car. So I had to superglued it back and now its tough as a rock.



So finally I had a working car mount and it look like this. Notice there is a rubber robe tie to it. That is a safety rope that hook up tot the head rest in the car during use to avoid the ipad from dropping should any part break during off-road driving .


Because of the weight of the ipad, I place a sponge at the back to hold the iPad firmly.


So the final result is here....

It work very well now.

Can be use as ipad stand too.

I made one using the same bracket bought from eBay for my Triton.





Works like a charm and cheap too!

acbc...

that looks great...but how do you mount it...care to show the rear of the holder? where you install it? to the aircond vent ???

Into any 2 DIN radio slot. Triton have both 2 DIN currently occupied by the useless RV meter and 1 DIN for the radio. Some cars only have 2 DIN. I'm looking into making one that will fit on 1 DIN slot. My other car, the smart has 1 DIN for radio and 1 DIN for storage. Will use the storage portion in next project. Waiting for necessary parts to arrive from Hong Kong.

good one...I also want to mount it to dashboard...but to busy nowadays, no time to do it

Hi,

can you post some pics showing how/where you mount the holder onto your car? thx

Found this 2 but wondering would they stick to the windscreen tightly

Is it me or it really looked filmsy :/

Interested in the first one, but don't know whether it can hold firmly on the windscreen or not since ipad isn't light at all.

I'm not sure but I just bought the 2nd one.

Hoepfully it's good *fingers crossed

whoops. Forgot that I asked for some pics.

Nice mod by the way

This probably be the best car headrest mount for tablet, got it from wanpool, the professional headrest mount maker.

Where is wanpool? how to buy from them? Internet order?

Anybody heard of exogear car mount? Is it good

Ordered a mount online for my iPad Mini last Thursday without doing much research.
Cost RM320 for the set. This morning just received the mount plus RM185 for custom duty
Never again!

I have given up looking for a good mount for the iPad. I think it's easier just to make one. Just make a pocket from canvas with some Velcro to hang it on the head rest.

mind to share what mount is that?

can we use this?

Nope. For smaller tablet possible. iPad simply too heavy.

Bro where can get iPad bracket or holder for car headrest?
