For those that use this mount with an iPad, would you recommend it to mount an iPad on a moving boat? (Assume clean fiberglass or windshield mount)

Personally, I modified this lever-action suction cup mount to hold my 7" Magellan GPS on the bottom left corner of my truck windshield so it's at about the 10 o'clock position in relation to the steering wheel. My RV Hauling truck was a RAM3500 1 ton Dually, & it never let go even on wash-board roads. I think that in a boat, unless you are running a flat-bottom boat over rough water, it should hold up a similar weight object. Just make sure that the smooth surface you are mounting to is squeaky clean & also it helps to moisten the cup portion of the mount first. Make sure the suction cup is flat against the smooth surface before locking it in place with the lever.

If you are just using it as a still mount then no problem.........Moving on......may be a problem........It holds my GoPro on my boat at 85 mph just fine, but the GoPro weighs considerably less than the Cannon.

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

The mount is not supposed to "stick" to the surface. It has a tacky finish to aid in skidding or slipping around. My experience is that if the surface loses tackiness is because the surface is dirty, as in dusty. A good washing off of the pad and a good wet wipe of the dash and all is good.

Don....I´m a pilot and fly for a major airline in Argentina. RAM works perfectly with my Ipad being adhered to the side window of the cockpit. In fact, I always use it. The only precaution to take is to clean the glass where it will adhere RAM and moisten the rubber in order to avoid separation. I think that it will work perfect in your boat!!

I've mounting it above an easel, on a wooden support, and it is strong and holds the ipad securely about 6 feet off the floor. I would expect that it would be secure attached to something on a golf cart - if you are mounting it on a rail and it's dewy or wet/damp, I could see it slipping, but the unit holds the ipad securely and the clamp is substancial. Not cheap badly done crap, actually a pretty good unit, I would buy it again.

I didnt use the windshield mount however I use the tripod frequently with both my ipad and ipad mini to film my golf swing. I believe the product is made from good quality for the price and will be durable. I am pleased with the product and would recommend.

No. This is totally secure. Not sure why others answered opposite. It's no more flimsy and loose during an accident than if you had kids water bottles books or little toys which would be more harmful when airborne in an accident. If you install it correctly you'll be fine. Wouldn't loose items be more deadly than this? At least this is mounted This is the best ipad holder out there. Second to none.

It really depends on your mounting location. I mounted mine on gunnal near the rear of the boat and it overhangs enough as to not presnt a problem. Table itself is actually pretty flat. Design is pretty much for use when you want it and removal when you don't. Not the most secure mount. Would not have out when running at cruising speed.

I don't know if is weighs more than an iPad Air, but I use this mount on a boat and it holds very well.

It should work fine with your portable GPS. Be sure your windshield is super clean if your going to mount it there, I didn't use the mounting pad (sticky round disk) so I don't know how it works with the suction cup. I put mine directly on the windshield and its never fell off.

Yes, that's where I have it. If it has straight sides it works better. It has a very, very firm grip. No need to worry that it will slip if it's tightened enough. I didn't notice that the description said not to use it on fiberglass. I guess you shouldn't if they say so (just for legal reasons if you have a problem) but mine works just fine.

The suction cup mount is very solid and should perform very well on a smooth surface. So far, I've used it for inside windshield applications and it is excellent. The RAM arm does elevate the camera higher than the GoPro suction cup mount, which might provide some vibration in extreme cases. With that said, the RAM connections are very rigid so I don't anticipate an issue with outside applications.

I have used the makayama movie mount for iPad 2 with my iPad mini and iPad air. I suspect they may also now have a model for the iPad. 4. Check it out

I have an ipad 3 and the mount works great with it. I don't know how much physically changed between the 3 and 4, but I love the mount. I use it for tv commercial and web videos.

Hello there Eliner! Well I have been using my Koomus IPhone mount just on my windshields for about 2 moths now and I Love it! It holds my phone in place through any bump or turn and looks awesome. With the gel suction cup it stays in place ans I can move it at anytime. It's definitely a GREAT buy for the price and you will be happy with it.
