Niko182 Posted April 11, 2021 Report Posted April 11, 2021 Scosche magnet mount. Cheap and reliable. Doesnt fall off in turbulence. 24 dollars.

It’s a very common question... Stand by for the very common answers to roll in... When it comes to Minis... often one is used as a second iPad in the cockpit... and may get mounted on the windshield in front of the SIC station... Best regards, -a-
thinwing Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 xnaut....the built in cooling fan works very well to control overheat shutdown these minis are famous for
HXG Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 I just got a cheap flexible clear ipad mini cover I leave attached to the yoke by a velcro sticker. Cost about $6 and works well. Just quickly take your ipad mini out of your everyday cover and pop it in out of the yoke case. 1
carusoam Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 Great pic HXG! Looks like you can see me from there... a bit of reflection humor... Best regards, -a-
irishpilot Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 Just get one you can use the mini in portrait and landscape. when I want to use the synthetic vision, I use landscape.
MooneyBe Posted May 16, 2021 Report Posted May 16, 2021 One word of caution on yoke mounts and autopilots. It is purely a theory but I was having fits with my A/P disengaging in relatively light turbulence when I had my iPad mounted to the yoke (no it wasn't hitting the disconnect button ). I removed it and have since not had the issue. Again, theory but I wonder if the additional weight on the yoke puts additional burden on the trim servo. B 1
Gubni Posted May 16, 2021 Report Posted May 16, 2021 I bought one that was universal fit for about $60 and I never could get it to tighten up enough to stay put and sent it back. I want to buy another one but it'll be specifically for an iPad mini.
