What happened to the Lefty? I love those "forks". I guess we ought to call them "awls." The only word I can think of for a "fork" with a single tine....

I have connections, I don't even remember where they came from but I have (In storage) like 15 sets of them (the clamps)

great design, very rigid, silly light too, but I never own one, I'm a maverick freak myself..

I mess up on my first attempt to build the cradle, I'm using Polycarbonate, but I'm not thermoforming it (those not really lend to it like Acrylic) so I use my little makita saw with about a 1.5mm of blade deep, my mistake was not taking into account if it was a "Inside or a outside bend" so i have to make a V shape groove..



Doh, 4 1/2" grinders and/or my shaky HANDS are not deep accurate, that was the mistake I made.


Tomorrow will be a different day, plus i learn a lot today..

I mounted a 9.7" iPad in my 2001 Jeep TJ. I've been on some pretty rough trails and it holds nicely with minimal shaking. Since the new iPad mini has been released I'm thinking about picking one up with a little smaller cradle. I still need to run a power line and USB socket up the windshield header for power.

what app are you running? is it Gaia? Also how much memory does your ipad have and have you been able to reload large areas ? the 9.7 size seems like the perfext size > I am toying with usingthe grab hadle bolt to mount mine> Some day.

Necromancing this thread.

Today I mounted a Samsung A8 10.5 tablet in my Excursion for running Gaia GPS as well as supplementing the head unit for streaming audio.
