eddallen Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 My experience with iPad in open sunlight was never good. Too much concentration needed to see what's on the screen. But that said, the best iPad mounts come from Pro-Clip. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted August 27, 2015 Super User Posted August 27, 2015 Look @ Rammount's X-grip. I have one for my iPhone 6 on my motorcycle & can vouch for it @ speed. Quote
PaJay Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I got one for my Mini IPad and have never used it. It's just sitting in the garage. Also have one for Android tablets right beside it. Both brand new. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Before you buy a mount, make sure you can see the screen in the day light. I've got an iPad and can't use it outdoors in the light. You also have to mount it close to a place you can plug in the USB power cord. Quote

I'm not concerned with power battery life on ipad last a very long time...as far as the sun i can shade the sun to be able to see the screen... Quote

Do you set the auto lock so your screen stays on all the time or do you have it go dark if you haven't touched the screen for a while? Quote
