Invisible Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I recently made a cross country trek and finally got to use ForeFlight extensively, and I plan on using it as much as possible now. I searched the forums and didn't really come across best mounts people are using. I'm using full size iPad Air (because my eyes are starting to betray me) and I like the the bigger screen. Need it to be mobile as I regularly swap back and forth between Bell and Airbus Intermediates. Any thoughts? Pictures also appreciated (of the mounts this time). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heliskiguide Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I use the Otterbox case for my IPad, and it comes with a clip in holder. I screwed a ram ball mount onto the back of the case holder and voila it mounts onto the dash mounted GPS ram ball with a medium size arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3M Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I use an iPad mini with the Lifeproof Fre case and the Lifeproof cradle. Looking at their website, they have similar setups for the full size iPad air. Case: http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/us_en/ipad-air/ipad-air-fre-case/?color=Black+%2F+Black Cradle: http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/us_en/ipad-air/ipad-air-case-cradle/ The cradle supports a RAM ball mount on the rear for universal mounting. Here is a post with my setup specifics that I posted a while ago (including picture) http://forums.verticalmag.com/index.php?showtopic=22141&page=2#entry150140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go coastal Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I too use the Lifeproof case and cradle for my Ipad mini with Foreflight. From my research, I couldn't find another company that made a comparable quality product in regards to protecting the ipad and mounting it for flight. The cradle fits the Nuud (or Fre) case like a glove. You can purchase a mount from RAM that attaches to the back of the Lifeproof cradle so that it can be used with any Ram mount system. Bomber! I highly reccomend Lifeproof and Ram! Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saifan Pilot Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 For iPad mini: http://www.rammount.com/products/apple/ipadmini For iPad Air: http://www.rammount.com/products/apple/ipadair For iPad: http://www.rammount.com/products/apple/ipad I suggest the X-Grip style. Lightest, most versatile (can handle all cases types) and smallest footprint of the ones they have available. All of them available at http://www.gpscity.ca/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
