I'm a pilot and I rely on both a Microsoft Surface and an iPad Air 2 in the cockpit, and I'm happy to say that both work really well in this cradle.I'm also happy to say that the construction quality is very good. I've dropped mine, stuffed it into all sorts of cramped flight bags and generally treated it pretty roughly, and it still looks and works like new. The parts that matter are all metal and strong enough for demanding use. A few of the other brands I've tried might be lighter, but the plastic parts some of them use just never held up well for me.My Surface tends to fit directly in the cradle (I don't use a case), and the iPad fits in the standard Apple leather case (but probably not a thicker case). Both fit well in either portrait or landscape mode and are solid enough to be secure in turbulence - I've yet to have an issue of either tablet popping out of the mount in rough air. I also like that the little clamps remain mostly out of the way - doesn't block the camera, microphone, ports, buttons, etc - although the iPad is somewhat challenging to press the various side buttons.One of the great things about RAM is that you can buy the individual mounting pieces you need to create a custom mount, and you can use the same cradle in many different ways. In one of the planes I fly, there's a 1" ball mounted on the panel and I'm able to connect a short articulating arm to this cradle for a perfect fit. Other aircraft I fly don't have this mounting ball, so I use a RAM suction cup to attach the cradle to the side of the windshield, or one of the RAM clamps to clamp the cradle to the yolk. Very convenient being able to carry a single cradle, yet having all these options.One very small issue is that the back plate tends to be insulating and so my tablets tend to get fairly hot, especially if I leave the cradle in the aircraft on a hot day. A major improvement would be a way to have some sort of small heat sinks on the back of the cradle to help with this, but it's overall a pretty minor issue.This is pretty much the perfect cradle for a larger tablet - definitely worth a look if you need to mount your tablet in any sort of boat, vehicle or airplane.

Purchased this to hold our 9 year old Fire Tablet (with kid case) in the back seat. It is a tight fit, but once it is in there it does not fall out. We have it attached to the head rest posts with a RAM Mount Clamp and a short extension and it works perfectly.

I have a rolling desk with a heavy duty boom arm to hold a laptop for use while in a recliner or in bed that we put together with Ram mount gear over 12 years ago (an easychair workstation), but it was time to upgrade to a tablet PC.I tried a few other mounts but none would hold the weight of the tablet and eyetracker well enough.This mount is as sturdy and I expect it will last as long as my laptop mount has. Two issues: assembly is frustratingly difficult for the sliding arms: better have really good hand/eye coordination, and although it is listed as compatible on the ram mount website it ultimately did not fit the MS Surface Pro 7. For my application the sliding arms were not necessary so I am still able to use the mount, so just a precaution to others.

I have an iPad 10.2†and 10.9†both in waterproof cases. I use them on my off road atv and sxs. This ram mount x grip holds them both, separately obviously. I bought the mount for the 12†tablet since I have cases on my iPads. It fits. I previously had the ram mount for 10†but my iPads with the case would not fit. Conclusion - if you’re like me and have 10†+ size iPads, in a case, buy this model.

Easy to assemble. The plastic material is very durable without adding too much weight. Excellent grip for my large tablet.

Got my iPad in an otter box case and it holds it. Got this to attach to my ram mount I was already using. I wanted to get rid of that board and velcro I was using. I expected more from Ram Mount when I ordered this. I was disappointed in it after a day or so after using it. The cheap rubber bumpers they have on these are just that, cheap. No glue or even a bit of tape was included with mine. The bumpers fall off constantly if I’m not careful. I understand I’m technically exceeding the size limit of 12†so that’s why I’m not dropping down to 1 star. On the positive side the holder arms are actually made of metal not plastic. The bumpers push on to them and will need to find some glue to keep them on. Also might need a drop or 2 of WD40 on the inside of the mount. Mine is a bit stiff and sticks when opening up the clamps.

Works great in my dump truck!I place a iPad Pro 12.9 in there and use it for maps and whenever I’m stopped for a long time it’s perfect for movies. This thing holds up VERY sturdy I’ve been through ALOT of Chinese cheap knock offs and they end up breaking after a short period of time but this thing right here is built tough! And stays in place! Very easy to mount and very easy to customize your position.I will definitely be using ram mounts more.

pour un IPAD pro 12,9"- 5 ème génération-le support est trop petit! un seul côté cale la tablette-il ne manque que quelques cm alors que les commentaires pour ce produit précisent que l'on peut l'utiliser avec cet IPAD -le problème ne vient pas du vendeur mais de RAM MOUNT

Die Haltung macht einen Sehr guten Eindruck. Hätte sie gerne behalten, aber die Seitenteile sind zu kurz für mein Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+. Außerdem drücken die Halter genau auf den Lautstärkeschalter wenn man es mittig montiert.
