I am a small aircraft pilot working on my instrument rating, and I hate having my ipad in my lap. Is this good for small aircraft?

It is a great mount, I downsized to ipad mini. It works better for me in a c150. Ram stuff is great.

Hi Alex, it is fantastic... I love it in my car (Mini Cooper)... the only thing is, because the ipad fits in nicely it can rattle a tiny bit. So, what I did was I bought those felt stick on pads (you know, those tiny little things) and put them on the mount for the ipad to rest against. now, it is as snug as can be and is perfect! It is, WELL worth the money

Alex...this mounting is very useful for me... I fly an Emb190 Jet and I have room enough on the left side window. I do not know what kind of plane you fly but you must be sure not to lose sight. Many people use this device under the side window. Clean the area very well before adhering the cup.

I have flown in some very rough air in a small Cessna and I would not hesitate for one second to use this mount. The iPad is definitely not coming out and the suction cup is unbelievable.

Alex, How did this mount work out for you? I'm thinking about getting it for flying in PA28s

The product doesnt fot the ipad mini unless you turn it aideways. However it helps having a larger screen picture for apps like foreflight while using in flight

Not this particular one because it's for the Air. The Air is smaller than the iPad 4.

It's a mini gps receiver so it will work with most flight planning aps. I have the GLO and the Stratus and really prefer the Stratus, but it only works with Foreflight. The GLO is a piece of crap. It turns on in my flight bag and drains its battery, is difficult to connect to the iPad and is clearly a stepchild of Garmin. I'd buy a Dual or Bad Elf, they are much better units for the money.

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration. Matt, The unit itself is very stable.

Daniel,I use it with a mini and it is terrific. It comes with two inserts - one for mini and one for full size iPad. I really like its strength and lightweight portability. I also use it for reading in bed. Mike

Same here. Use it for I pad also and yes it is great! Probably though. Most likely yes.

The answer depends on whether you purchased a Lap Pro Stand/Caddy or a Mini. If the S/C, then your iPad (1,2,3,Air) is supposed to fit (even with a slim case on it). It is then safe to say an iPad mini or any other smaller tablet will fit as well. If it's a Mini, then a larger iPad or tablet wOuld obviously not fit inside. Regardless, both items were designed with a double pocket in order to separate a tablet from additional small items and accessories to avoid damage to the devices screen or chassis. -RC-

Yes! I've flown with it several times and it's perfect for those short flights and small planes!

Works great with my mini iPad. Takes some getting used to. Cannot be used on your lap as it folds in half.

In a pinch, yes. The Air is just wide enough to stay within the Padcaster frame, but significant movement will cause it to fall. In my use case scenario we have it on a short tripod placed on a desk so movement is not a problem. However, on a full size tripod inadvertent bumps would send your iPad Air crashing to the floor. Padcaster will be coming out with a newer version compatible with the iPad Air shortly.

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I am a special education teacher and was thinking about taking the iPad to iep meetings, but did not want to take notes on the built-in, nor do I want to write reports on this thing. The keyboard would make it easier to type anything of length, and now I am pretty are that I will give it a try....thanks again for helping out!

No. Good for ipad 1-3. IRig Midi by IK Multimedia can. Check it out and see if its right for you.

It is a strong little item. I've used it on many a pc and it has done no damage. I cannot attest to the iPad.

Perfect for the iPad but small if you also want to put something else (like a note pad or a small notebook). But still really good (:

Don't have the unit at home so can't measure, but it holds the iPad far enough off the window to be able to rotate it into various positions without hitting the windscreen. Whether you can reach the touch screen from the pilot's seat if mounted to the copilot window will depend, of course, on how wide your aircraft is at the front seats.

I use it for iPad Air and it's taking a lot of space. It depend on the device you are going to use it with
