It holds well without hanging. It's just too close to my eyes, I keep my tablet on the table in front of the elliptical, at a distance, but everyone's eyes are different.

I actually prop my surface RT up between the heart rate monitors and watch youtube videos (hell I even study) and it works perfectly so long as I maintain a steady stride (:

I just realized that you asked about the Surface 2, not the RT. So pay attention that my response refers to the RT. If same size screen, then no problem.

You will need to attach the Polar device on your chest for monitoring your heart rate. It can only store one memory and will overwrite once you start the next exercise. No GPS, no able to transfer the date to your computer. Hope it helps.

Mount a tablet like an iPad next to your monitor. It attaches to the Ergotron monitor arm.

First of all it is easier to use than a arm monitor. I never could get the arm monitor adjusted correctly on my upper arm. Also it is known, you BP is not always the same in both arms. Wrist Blood one says to put on right wrist, based on the readings and if you didn't put it on right, you will definitely get a weird reading or it won't take at all, it will say there is an error. Also you should take BP reading right after you have eaten or drank something cold, suppose to wait at least 1/2? or 1 hour? before taking BP reading. All my readings seem to be about what the Dr. had recorded in his office, so I figured I was doing it right.

I currently use a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor when I cycle and seem to get very accurate readings on both. And that's running both the Wahoo Fitness app and a Digifit app at the same time. I'm not sure if there are any bad effects when using this with a ANT+ monitor though, as I've never tried an ANT+ hr monitor.

No. I tried doing that and found the bed or couch is not solid enough to hold everything steady while using the tablet.

No. I am not aware of that. I do caution you though that the Android tablet is limited in what you can do with it in terms of going online. It is also tied up to the mechanics of the treadmill and it occasionally jams. I would look for something else that is not dependent on a computer!

There are no grips on the surfaces where the tablet is held. If you rock the stand sideways, the tablet may slip.This stand is meant for use on a desktop or perhaps a lap desk that is going to stay level from side to side.

I wouldn't recommend it. The arm is pretty strong, but since you are using it on a treadmill the vibration plus the weight of the tablet might bring the arm down. If you find a flat surface next to your treadmill you might have better luck.

My basic answer to this is "Yes", you can exercise both legs and arms while seated. That is the way I use mine. But I did find that when seated and trying to reach the arm handles the position did not suit me. So I removed the screw in pins that attach the upper arm sections and that allows me to turn the handles so that I can reach them. This was an easy fix. The handles don't fall off. I have contemplated getting little screw type hose clamps to fit over the tubing at the socket for the handles to clamp them in the position I find most comfortable. But it works well with the handles just sitting loose in the pipe. I will say that when sitting and exercising it is difficult for me to see the computer screen. I don't use the built in programs so it doesn't really matter. What I really wish for is a simple screen that would allow me to set the resistance and to clock the time I have spent. Or else count my strides. So that I know how much work I have done. Hope this helps.

I apologize. I returned this item because it did not work in the way that I needed it to function - as a heart monitor. I was never able to get an accurate reading - or reading at all - while using the treadmill.

I purchased the Advocate, but returned it. It was a bad one right out of the box. I purchased a different brand, but I can't imagine the operation to be too much different. Put it on your wrist so that the top edge of the monitor is at your wrist line. Hold your hand/arm so that the monitor is level with your heart, preferably in a relaxed position, the elbow resting on a table.

It works equally well for me on both wrists, are you sure you hold the device close to your heart ? I can't say anything more, the device is usually very close to what my cuff device reads regarding blood pressure

Yes, I often use my tablet while on the bike. But, when up out of the saddle you will sweat on it. Just saying

Clamp stretches fairly big has 2 different sets of "hooks" to latch onto the tablet. I have a Surface 1 hooked up on it right now and was able to latch in a Surface 3 with the larger L hooks. I will have to get a measuring tape to know the exact sizes. I can say that this arm has impressed me and I thought of the two I bought this one would be the one I would want to return.

Okay, hopefully I've managed to edit this in time to stop the previous answer from sending out. I accidentally clicked "yes" because my mouse is acting weird and doesn't move properly. Long story. Anyway, I'm really sorry about that and I apologize even more in the next message. I explain in the next message that is displays the drawing on the computer screen, not that of the tablet. Only super expensive and huge tablets have a separate screen like that. Again, sorry for the lengthy answer comprised mainly of apologies.
