iPad Yoke Mount for M20E w/ Clock

[Steve Hughes]

This has probably been asked and answered 1,000 times but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.  I've tried three variations on an iPad mini yoke mount and just can't seem to make it work.  The Ram clamp mount hits controls on the panel and sits too high; I tried a flexible-arm clamp mount for a bicycle and the back ball holds the iPad too high, covering the gauges or too close to read the screen.  I tried some straps and that was a loser.

Any suggestions for a better solution?

I removed the clock and replaced it with a metal plate that has a Ram ball mounted to it. iPad mounts to that.

Stick this Steelie ball mount on your yoke right above where it reads “Chronometer” and then a tablet magnetic socket on your iPad mini.  If that is too high stick it below the blue buttons. Problem solved.  

 

I’m always worried about a powerful magnet near the panel. Is that not really a concern?

I’ve put the clamp on the yoke, not the yoke shaft.  It moves the iPad closer to your body… depends how long your legs are?

Or, accomplish Mooney SBM 20-205B and replace the yoke shafts (several amu’s, sorry).  The new shafts are about 1.5” longer than the old shafts.  And, it retires the yoke shaft AD.  I ordered the shafts through LASAR, or Top Gun, I forget.  I think Mooney had them in stock (last year).

Here's mine on my M20E. RAM Ball Mount + Arm + Cradle, iPad Mini mounted horizontally (landscape).

I removed the guts of the clock and use the existing plate for a 1" ram mount
